Appeal Court sacks Dino Melaye - The Nation Newspaper

Controversial politician, Dino Melaye, is to face a fresh election into the Senate from the Kogi West Senatorial District.

In voiding Melaye’s election on Friday, the three-man panel of the Court of Appeal said that the polls outcome was invalid due to the discrepancies in dates indicated in the result sheets produced by the INEC. The first ground, the lawyer argued, was that the INEC’s decision to collate and announce the election results in Lokoja, despite a judgment of the Federal High Court, identifying Kabba as the headquarters of the senatorial district, was a negation of the Constitution and Electoral Acts which constitutes a substantial ground to nullify the election.

The lawyer prayed the tribunal to void the election on the grounds that it was held in substantial non-compliance with the constitution, the Electoral Act and against the wishes of the people who voted. “I see my way through; I walk a path devoid of pitfalls. I look to the Lord, my God, and I will not see shame.“God is merciful to me, and I have received the grace of the Lord, my God. I have favour.

Mr. Adeyemi, a former Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Federal Capital Territory, is confident of coming tops in the rerun election with Melaye., said: “I am not afraid of poll rerun with Senator Melaye. He cannot defeat me in a free and fair election. He is no match any day. It is now obvious that he did not defeat me at the last poll.

“The results were tampered with on their way from Kabba to Lokoja. The results announced in Lokoja were different from the ones we had. He added: “It is a different ball game now in the Kogi West Senatorial District. The masses have seen the difference between my performance in office and that of Dino who did nothing for our people.
