The aggrieved Kogi West Constituents have said there is no
going back in their quest to recall the Senator representing the constituency.
Addressing journalist in Lokoja on Wednesday , the leader of
the group, Honourable Olowo Cornelius stated that the Senator should be patient
for the verification exercise to know whether or not those he claimed as dead
were alive not not.
The group also debunked the existence of Okun Development
Initiative (ODI), stressing that the only known Association that speaks on Okun
affairs is Okun Development Association (ODA).
Olowo, however, pointed out that the group will continue to
pile pressure on Senator Dino Melaye, adding that the recall exercise has
yielding positive results to the people of the constituency.
He noted that the lawmaker had been forced to buy four cars
and distributed to the people in the constituency and that other strategic
contracts have been award and contractors mobilized to site.
The former APC candidate for Ijumu Constituency seat in Kogi
State House Assembly,stated that if the electorate did not commence the recall
process, those monies must have been diverted.
“The recall exercise of Senator Dino Melaye was entirely
initiated and is being pursued by constituent of Kogi West senatorial District,
having had enough of Senator Dino’s unbearable utterances, conduct and
misbehaviour, both in and out of the hallowed chamber of the National Assembly,
coupled with total disconnection from the people he claimed to represent.
“It is, therefore, a deliberate falsehood for anyone to
allege that the initiator of recall exercise are not from Kogi West”, he
stressed.
