The Nigerian Senate has reacted to the recall process of one
of its members and Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye.
Melaye raised the issue of his recall by his constituents on
the floor of the house and accused Kogi state governor, Yahaya Bello of
sponsoring 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.
