Immediate past Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, SAN, has vowed to appeal Monday’s dismissal by a Federal High Court in Abuja, of suit to compel the investigation of Peopes Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Candidate in the February 25 election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, over the SPV saga.

The suit was dismissed principally because the court was of the opinion that the law-enforcement agencies were not given enough time to commence investigations before the suit was filed, amongst other sundry reasons.

A statement by Keyamo Chambers, however, faulted the decision. “Our client respectfully disagrees with the reasons for the said decision because the law-enforcement agencies did not indicate their willingness to commence investigations, even if they were given more time. We want to establish a legal principle that the society cannot wait as infinitum for law-enforcement agencies to do their statutory duties. The suit was designed to prompt the agencies to show their READINESS to investigate.

“We are immediately filing an appeal against the said decision to the Court of Appeal as the struggle on this issue continues,” the chambers said late Monday in the statement signed by John Ainetor, Esq., Assistant Head of Chambers, Abuja Office.
