I still do not know the essence of our corruption riddled legislature. The impact of the senate, FHOA, SHOA are not felt. The Nigerian constitution is unclear as to how to go about this. any idea?

You need to gather 1/3 signatures from registered voters in the constituency first, then INEC will organise a referendum.

Bro, forget it... it is IMPOSSIBLE... WAIT till 2019

Each time I remember the annual budget of 2017 was submitted to NASS since Oct/Nov 2016 and still ve not been passed I just know those people there re all rogues...The bitter truth is that many of them re still coming back cause their constituencies would be cajoled and deceived with few money few months to election and stand to be re-elected...so in that case only God we ask to touch their hearts and work to affect the larger masses...

It's a continuous process

We won't make the mistakes of 2015 from ward level to federal

Constitutionally it's possible, but in reality it's not possible

Let's say u gather the signatures,how can you prove it in court that those signatures are from people in the constituency?

Is impossible... even to impeach the president is impossible...

You need to get both signatures and PVC numbers; as we speak, some constituentsin northern kaduna are gathering signatures go recall their senator.

What makes it very impossible is high presence of fake names in the voter register, remember even inec could only give out about 50% of pvc to registered voters, , the law says 1/3 regustered voter not those with pvc.

The law of recall should have been 50%+1 of votes you got can trigger a recall

That still can't prove u didn't forge all,some,one or two of all the signatures.

How do u tell the defendant lawyer(SAN) that they are all authentic.....all of them.

All over the world in situations were signatures are used, there's no supernatural way in which the signatures can be confirmed. But if the recalled senator thinks the signatures and PVC numbers are fake, it's up to him to go to court to prove they are fake.

I remember putting up this thread, Now history is about to be made! Dino melaye is being recalled.

On this particular issue, I still remain a 'doubting Thomas,' Nigeria's democracy certainly isn't mature enough for this kind of thing to be done. Until I see it happen, I don't believe it is possible for a senator or Representative to be recalled.

Well if u look at the process involved it is "nearly" impossible to recall a senator...... just a waste of time and money

section 69 of the 1999 Constitution give 10 clear steps to take before a Senator can be recalled from the Senate.
The steps are:
1
More than half of the registered voters in the Senator’s senatorial district write, sign and send a petition to the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC alleging their loss of confidence in the senatorial
2
The petition must be signed, and arranged according to polling units, wards, Local Government Areas, and constituency.
3
INEC notifies the Senator sought to be recalled, stating that it has received a petition for his or her recall, if the petition is valid
4
INEC issues a public notice or announcement stating the date, time and location of the verification of signatures to the petition
5
INEC verifies the signatures to the petition at the designation. The signatories must be individuals who appear on the voters’ register.
6
INEC conducts a referendum if more than one half (50% + 1) of the signatories are verified
7
INEC writes to the petitioners stating that the minimum requirements for a referendum were not met, if the number verified is less than one half of the registered voters in that constituency. The petition will therefore be dismissed.
8
INEC conducts a referendum within 90 days of receipt of the petition if the minimum requirements for a referendum are met. The referendum will be a simple yes or no vote on whether the Senator should be recalled, and will be decided by simple majority of the votes of the persons registered to vote in that Senator’s constituency.
9
If majority of the voters in the constituency vote ‘yes’ the Chairman of the INEC will send a Certificate of Recall to the Senate President to effect the recall.
10
The Senate President will show affected senator the way out of the Senate.
Please tell me how a Senator can therefore be successfully recalled with the above steps.

Just saw this. You see that thing called a constitution, we should just use it to wrap akara.
