A stunning 52.3 percent of the registered voters in Kogi West Senatorial District want their Senator, Dino Melaye, recalled from the Senate.

That percentage represents 188,588 of the 360,098 registered voters in the senatorial district. The collation of signatures of voters which was undertaken over five days ended on June 17.

The information was disclosed by Pius Kolawole, a special adviser to Governor Yahaya Bello, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) announced on Monday.

Mr. Kolawole, who was speaking to party members from the district, commended the voters for turning out in good numbers for the collation, pointing out that Section 69 of the 1999 constitution authorized their decision.

“In 2015, we voted for Dino and now we are using the same method to return him home,” he said.

Giving a breakdown of the collation, the Returning Officer, Adamu Yusuf, said that in terms of the seven local governments in the district, the following numbers of registered voters are in favor of the recall:

18,374 of the 35,331 in Yagba East;
9,186, of the 18,356 in Mopa-Muro local government; 24,703 of the 46,810 in Yagba West; 63,736 of the 116,296 in Lokoja Local Government; 24,283 of the 46,819 in Ijumu Local Government; 28,277 of the 60,520 in Kabba/Bunu Local Government; and 24,703 of the 46,810 in Kogi Local Government.
He disclosed that collation will be submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission, for the next step in the recall process.

Inescapable trouble for Dino. Kogi will be making history as the first to successfully send a legislator home, if this succeeds.

I want pple to note this that the 53 percent is fake nd no credible signatures of the voters were attached.
one thing pple should understand is that recalling a senator in nigeria is not easy, especially when u belong to the right senate caucus.
let us forget this recalling,it will be swept under the carpet very soon like saraki case.
kogi needs someone like dino to checkmates gov Bello
kogites are suffering seriously under this tenure.
