The Independent
Electoral commission has officially written to Sen. Melaye Dino informing him
of the receipt of petitions demanding for his recall.
The commission
also made it clear that it will start the recall process on the 3rd
of July with a verification exercise.
In a
reaction to all the qualms surrounding his recall, Senator Dinor has released
detailed document faulting the recall process. Dino said Governor Yahaya Bello
had manipulated the recall process.
According
to him, one of the persons who coordinated the activities told him he was paid
N100k to carry out the process. He revealed how they transferred information
from INEC register to the recall register and forged their signatures. He said
the activity must have been masterminded by Governor Yahaya Bello whom he
described as 'intellectual stagnant and confused’. He said the 'Olodo Governor'
forgot that there is what is called verification. Speaking further, he said
that they did not get the process right.
Below
are photos of him showing details of the faulty recall process:

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) held its
regular weekly meeting today and considered the petition submitted by some
registered voters from Kogi West Senatorial District to kickstart the process
of recalling Senator Dino Melaye.
In accordance with the INEC guidelines for the recall of members
of the National Assembly, the Commission has formally acknowledged the receipt
of the petition to the petitioners’ representatives and has conveyed a letter
notifying Senator Melaye of our receipt of the petition.
The next step is to verify that the petitioners are registered
voters in the Kogi West Senatorial District.
INEC will, on the 3rd of July, 2017 issue a public notice stating
the day(s), time, location and other details for the verification exercise.
