The Court of Appeal in Abuja on Friday set aside the decision of the National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal in Kogi which struck out the petition of Sen. Smart Adeyemi.

Adeyemi of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had challenged the election of Sen. Dino Melaye of All Progressives Congress (APC), alleging electoral irregularities and malpractices.

Justice Muhammed Adume held that the tribunal was wrong in striking out Adeyemi’s petition on the grounds of technicalities, instead of substantial justice.

The appellate court, therefore, remitted the case to the tribunal for “trial on merit’’.

The court further held that the decision of the tribunal that Adeyemi did not file his petition within the time frame allowed by law was wrong and nullified it forthwith.

Adume said the respondents did not provide sufficient evidence before the tribunal that the petition was filed late.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the tribunal had dismissed the petition of Adeyemi, a one-time National President, Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) for late filing.

The tribunal Chairman, Justice Akon Ikpeme, had in the ruling of June 18, held that the Kogi West ex-Senator’s case was “incurably defective’’.

Let justice prevail. Dino will be on his own If he thinks that the president will intercede with the judiciary on his behalf.
Meanwhile, did I hear that he is renovating a 6.5million dollar house in Abj?
Dedicate this FTC to my friend Honeydear.

Once the judge receives his share of good money this case will be thrown into the trash can.

Is there any difference between the two? Both are not worthy of being a senator. But then what can we do?

Hehe. Tinibu, Akande, Lai and co will be somewhere dancing shakitibobo now

Dino is a lucky man. I guess there may be no need for multi-tasking in the long-run(if the tribunal throws him out). He ll do very well as Toyin Saraki's bodyguard(only)

I was for Melaye. But the guy has started fumbling. I throw my weight behind Smart Adeyemi.

Iyen na nice

Hmmm

I don't know when you guys are going to realise how powerful Tinubu is,wait and see how DIno Malaye will be kick out of politics

Fellow Nigerians, I urge you to brace yourself, for the years to come are indeed going to be full of dark days. We are already seeing how the present government intends to use it's powers to hunt those that they perceive as enemies. People will go down, alliances will break, but expect some to fight back. And these events will turn the nation on it's head when revolutionaries/seccessionists take advantage of the resultant chaos.
Mr. Buhari aka Daura Dull.ard isn't the smartest of men, he doesn't understand diplomacy, for that reason his regime is going to do some things that will trigger Nigeria to it's destined end - DISINTEGRATION.
