Chairman of the Independent
National Electoral Commission, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, on Friday said only N100m
was spent on the failed attempt to recall Kogi-West lawmaker, Senator Dino
Melaye.
The INEC chairman disclosed this
while responding to questions posed to him at a press conference in Abuja on
Friday.
Yakubu said the figure was
nowhere near the N100bn being bandied by the Peoples Democratic Party.
” A recall exercise is just like
conducting a Senatorial election, adding that Kogi-West which Melaye
represents, has 552 polling units and seven local governments.
“Ad hoc staff were deployed in
all the polling units.” Yakubu added.

N100m may be the official amount. What of other state logistics? Please we know better. N100m for your information will give 100 unemployed graduates good jobs. Now this money was wasted in the name of politics of bitterness. When will Nigerian politicians learn how to manage opposition?
