All Melaye moves to halt INEC’s decision were dashed away as the Federal High Court in Abuja backed the electoral body to continue with the exercise.
INEC disclosed in the new timetable released yesterday that it would restart the exercise with a notice of verification on October 3, while the verification exercise would hold on October 14.
In a statement statement issued by the electoral body’s secretary, Mrs. Augusta Ogakwu, in addition to that of September 12, the timetable and Schedule of Activities were in line with the petition for the recall of Senator Dino Melaye.
INEC said with the timeline, sufficient time has been provided for Senator Melaye to study the petition and the accompanying materials to help him effectively prepare for the verification exercise in accordance with the order of the Federal High Court
