Chukazu:
Nigerian judicial system is a joke ...just watch another court and judge give "stay of execution"

celebsnestblog:



A Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday dismissed the suit by Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye, challenging the validity the process of recalling him by his constituents.

Justice Nnamdi Dimgba, in his judgement, ordered that the Independent National Electoral Commission “shall proceed with the recall process”.

According to reports, the judgement effectively terminated the earlier ex parte order made by another judge of the Federal High Court in Abuja, Justice John Tsoho, on July 6, 2017, directing parties to maintain status quo.

But the Justice Dimgba, to whom the case was reassigned, ordered that the process shall only proceed with the recall process, subject to the service of the petition, the full list and signatures of persons in support of the recall process.

The judge noted that the 90 days period within which the Constitution ordered the INEC to conduct a referendum on receiving the recall petition had been paused since June 23, when Melaye commenced the suit.

He ordered that the period would only continue running from Monday.
But he ordered INRC to issue an amended recall timetable giving the senator a minimum of two weeks to equip him to defend against the recall process.
He ordered that the amended timetable should be served on Melaye.

In his judgment, Justice Dimgba held that contrary to Melaye’s contention, there was no provision in section 69 of the Constitution requiring his constituents to afford him fair hearing before sending such petition to INEC.

Justice Dimgba also admitted that although the Constitution did not expressly provide that the INEC must serve the affected legislator with the petition and the accompanying documents, it was required in the spirit of fair hearing so that the legislator could be equipped to fight the recall.

The judge described Melaye’s suit as “hasty, premature and presumptuous” as the INEC had already scheduled the exercise for the verification of the authenticity of the signatures in support of the petition being complained about by Melaye.

“He must first go into the verification exercise and only when he does not get justice that he can come to court,” Justice Dimgba ruled.

The judge also dismissed the argument that the the number signatures ‎did not meet the threshold stipulated in the Constitution.

He insisted that on the face of the statistical analysis accompanying the suit, the number of signatures to kick start the recall process in the Kogi West senatorial district was 188, 588 out of the 360,100 ‎registered voters in the district, had been met.

End of story.

SalamRushdie:


I hate it when young people don't put thier mind to use

ddippset:
People do not rejoice just yet. He will appeal at the appeal court and if that fails he will approach the supreme court. And by the time that fails it's 2019 already. That is the Nigeria justice system. Forget the hollier than thou attitude, the judiciary and the legislators are even worse than the executive.

honey001:
At least this has made the guy gentle small....

sokera:
God bless you , I was about to say that too , so Dino can be this gentle and calm ? Wow I now believe power belongs to the people , we just need to educate ourselves very well that these people in government are their to serve us and if they are not doing what we want we have the power to butt them out ... this is a big lesson to we the people and to the elected officers

lafflaff123:


I hate it when old people don't know when to respect themselves.

Shut up.

SalamRushdie:


Its only you father that is older than you here you loser ..keeping eating your mother's food and refuse to put your brain to use and you will be useless like all the past males in Ur useless lineage

butterflylion:


True. If I was INEC I would ensure he is recalled so their relevance would be redeemed and also the Nigerian electorate would realise the kind of power we have.

Dino should be the scape goat for this purpose.

Ever asked your mom who your real dad is?useless son of a cheating woman.

Grundig:
By the be time this issue leaves court and then INEC begins the process of recalling him, 2019 would already be upon us

SalamRushdie:


Over 3000 years of existence yet no male member of your lineage has made any impact in life except to eat and have sex yet you think it's OK, I challenge you to upgrade your thinking and be the one to change that current hopeless status quo of male members of that useless gathering you call a lineage

DonVikings:
When they got serious with the recall process, the rogue started constructing one useless structure in his constituency and tagged it a constituency project. Dino was on ground everyday in Kogi to "rub minds with his people".

Then news broke that the process has been suspended by the courts, the much publicised project screeched to a halt and Dino disappeared from his people's midst. The next time we saw him was in a carnival dancing and taking pictures with half naked girls.
We also saw him dressed like a thug, sitting in an awkward position taking pictures in a hotel room, while the mirror behind him revealed he had an olosho with him for the night.

Now he is back in the trenches. We would soon start seeing pictures of constituency projects again.

Naija politics toh badt gan gan.
