Supreme Court dismisses Dafeamekpor’s application against approval of new ministers

The Supreme Court has dismissed an application filed by South Dayi MP, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, challenging the approval of new ministerial and deputy ministerial nominees.

Mr. Dafeamekpor’s case centred on the legality of the recent ministerial nominations. He sought the Supreme Court’s intervention to declare unconstitutional the President’s authority to appoint ministers and deputy ministers without parliamentary approval.

However, the Supreme Court rejected Mr Dafeamekpor’s application, affirming the President’s constitutional prerogative to make such appointments.

The Supreme Court also described the injunction application as frivolous and an abuse of the court process.
