DINO MELAYE: SENATE REACTS TO RECALL MOVES BY CONSTITUENTS

The Nigerian Senate reacted to the recall process of one of its members and the senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye.

Melaye raised the issue of his recall by his constituents on the ground of the house and accused the governor of the Kogi state, Yahaya Bello to sponsor the process.

On Tuesday, the Senate via its Twitter handle said it “would also verify the legitimacy of the votes before a conclusion is made.”

The handle also quoted Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, as saying “The recall process is dead on arrival going by the constitution,” adding that “It’s a long process after the verification of votes.”​

Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, ​has kicked off recall process of Dino Melaye​.
