The
embattled senator, Dino Melaye, has vowed to file an appeal today, Tuesday, against
Monday’s judgement by the federal high court ordering continuation of the
process for the recall.
The Abuja Division of the Federal
High Court, presided by Justice Nnamdi Dimgba, ordered the continuation of the
recall process after dismissing the senator’s motion against it.
Mr. Melaye’s lawyer, Mike
Ozekhome, in a telephone conversation on Monday, said he had
been directed to file an appeal.
“Of course we are challenging the
judgment. The appeal against the judgment would be filed tomorrow,” Mr.
Ozekhome said.
He added that a fresh motion
against the respondents will also be filed after his client had viewed the
petition against him.
“We are appealing against parts of
the court judgement that did not favour us,” Mr. Ozekhome said.
“You know that they did not
initially want to disclose the identities of the petitioners to our client. But
today, the court has ordered that they should provide the details of all the
signatories.
“After looking at them and being
able to show that some of them are fake, the names of dead people, I can assure
you that we will start a fresh legal battle against the respondents,” Mr.
Ozekhome said.
