The Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) will receive a petition to recall Senator Dino
Melaye tomorrow (Wednesday). This was confirmed by a source in the Kogi Government.
The source who pleaded anonymity,
added that all that needs to be done has been completed and “it is left to INEC
to take the next course of action.”
Recall that on Monday, it was reported that a total of 188,580 electorates from Kogi West, signed the
recall register form of Senator Melaye.
Announcing the figure at the All
Progressives Congress (APC) State Secretariat in Lokoja, the returning officer
for the recall of the serving senator, Adamu Yusuf, explained that out of
360,098 of the total registered voters of the seven western senatorial
districts comprising Yagba, Mopa Muro, Kabba Bunu, Yagba East, Koton Karfe,
Lokoja and Ijumu, 188, 588, signed the recall register constituting 52.3% of
the voters in senatorial district.
“Going by the above figures, it
is important to let Nigerians know that we have met the Constitutional
requirements of 51.1%. Dino has failed to represent Kogi West so we are calling
him back home,” Yusuf added.
