But the court technically didn't ask INEC to stop...the court said maintain status quo.. which could also mean INCE continue with the prosecution.. Na wa o

The law says petition on recall must be concluded in 90 days, petition on Dino's recall was received on June 21st by inec but the court while giving the injuction adjourned the case to September 29th, so in a nutshell the 90 days had elapse by the time court resumes .

Can we say this recall don enter voicemail
INEC should recall Imo Senators, except Sen Samuel Anyanwu and then we know they are serious. They don't even need any petition to recall those ones

So some Nigerians were thinking this will work..even if its does work...
This section of constitution is waiting by the senate

(h) the President of the Senate, or as the case may be, the Speaker of the House of Representatives receives a certificate under the hand of the Chairman of the National Electoral Commission stating that the provisions of section 69 of this Constitution have been complied with in respect of the recall of that member.

(2) The President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House of Representatives, as the case may be, shall give effect to subsection (1) of this section, so however that the President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House of Representatives or a member shall first present evidence satisfactory to the House concerned that any of the provisions of that subsection has become applicable in respect of that member.

Another angle is when the senate decided to probe TETFUND which was headed by Prof Mahmud( current inec chairman) under GEJ, INEC decided to obey court order.

Hmmmm...

If in fact the signatories are genuine Dino WILL return home regardless of the delay.

That Governor however is a BIG let down to the youth, to Nigeria and to the Ebira people. This is the first civilian governor from another tribe other than Igala in that state and he appears more satisfied walking around with a swagger stick than doing anything meaningful.
And to think he is a youth too,makes the whole thing very pathetic.

And come to think of it,that the AG of Kogi State never thought of this section before wasting money in an advertorial to counter Sen Ekwerenmdu's assertion is ridiculous and smarks of crass ignorance on his part.I think he is not fit for that position.

This is wonderful news. The ill-fated recall was political in the first place. Dino has helped a lot of folks from kogi west. Something the predecessors didn't do.
Re: INEC Suspends Dino Melaye Recall by egopersonified(f): 6:50pm On Jul 13, 2017
This fight is not just about Dino, but the entire senate, even his colleagues that hate him would be against it, cos once the recall process works, everyone would start recalling the other senators.

If these polithiefcians think all the rest of us are dumb and they are the smart ones buying the law and the playing on our collective sensibilies, they should know that the next wave of violent unrests will be at their doorsteps.

And to rub it in, the Senate summoned the Chief of Staff to the governor of Kogi state to appear before them on a matter I'm yet to confirm. Now, the COS is a personal friend to the governor as well. This country is truly a zoo. Nnamdi Kanu was spot on.

Re: INEC Suspends Dino Melaye Recall by omimigaius(m): 6:56pm On Jul 13, 2017
I tell you the truth, there is heavy disappointment from the judiciary. Is there no constitutional process for verification of the signatures? Why should dino be allowed to interfare with the process? If he is sure that the signatures are fake, then verification will vindicate him. Anger is rapidly rising.
Re: INEC Suspends Dino Melaye Recall by Reference(m): 6:57pm On Jul 13, 2017
What kind of silly injunction is that. Can a person halt the wishes of the people who put him there. Very dangerous for democracy. INEC should do the needful and resume the obvious. Dino should go and answer to the people who sent him to Abuja to represent them. Abuja should have no right to thwart what is considered a 'local' matter. After all the saying goes that all politics is local.

Bro. You have just helped me to spit the fire prepared in my anger. Let them know that revolution may take unexpected format. Since the judiciary have become a big bazaar supermarket where only the highest bidders can buy justice. They may be first to taste the peoples anger.
The OAU vc's case is a sign.
