The Jews accused Jesus of corruption when they knew He was innocent. The electorates brought them to enjoy whatever they are now enjoying which the constitution grants them. So the hire and fire power is with the electorates.

10 steps to recall a senator in Nigeria

By Clifford Ndujihe
July 19, 2016

Section 69 of the 1999 Constitution provides 10 clear but tortuous steps on how 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.

mikolo80: HOW CAN YOU CONDEMN SOM'N YOU HAVEN'T EVEN TRIED YET

1) It's been done many times in the past. For example:

naptu2: I think there were attempts to recall Osita Izunaso and Arthur Nzeribe.

Early in 2009 there were moves to recall Izunaso, with a petition submitted by people of the Orlu Senatorial District of Imo state to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).[4] Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu dismissed the threats as baseless, pointing to the excellent work the Senator had done for the people of the state.[5] 

Both Izunaso and Ekweremadu were part of a lobby group opposed to dismissal of INEC chairman Professor Maurice Iwu despite the many problems of the 2007 elections. Izunaso's support for Iwu may have been because Iwu was responsible for conduct of the referendum on Izunaso's recall.[6]

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osita_Izunaso

In April 2006 the Orlu People’s Consultative Assembly, sponsored by the governor of Imo state Achike Udenwa, staged what it called “One million March” to drum support for Nzeribe’s recall from the Senate.[6]

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Nzeribe

having allegedly failed to apologise to Governor Godswill Akpabio over his recent utterances, the people of Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District, are expected to kick-start a recall process of Senator Aloysius Etok on Friday, May 10, 2013.

2) From past experience, the main obstacle is the process of collecting signatures.

3) Once you start collecting signatures, the politician will head to court to stop the process (the main aim of going to court is not really to get a court order to nullify the process, but to buy time).

4) The politician will start a money war . He will bribe, influence and coerce voters, so that they will not apend their signature to your petition.

5) The fact that someone has signed your petition does not mean that you are home and dry. The politician will bribe the person in order to get the person to allege that you forged his signature.

6) The police will arrest you for forgery.

7) The politician would have finished his tenure and moved on by the time that all the court cases (including regular appeals that will go all the way to the Supreme Court) are concluded.

8 ) The fact that you are able to collect the necessary signatures, does not mean that the politician will be removed from office. Referenda, just like elections, can be rigged.

9) Refer to PROUD-IGBO's post about unfortunate accidents

mikolo80:
then why is it in the constitution.
it just means you're not ready to remove him.
you think it's just to collect signatures.
of course corruption will fight back.
you then put up or shut up.
this is war.
prisoners will not be taken.
find a way to beat the courts.
and to beat the money he will start sharing and get ready to defend yourself from assassins. or endure the suffering. choose one

mikolo80:
and my the time you attempt to recall him every six months let's see how he will have money left to buy house in Dubai. make him share all the money on referenda after referenda. more than one way to skin a cat.

naptu2:


Again, it's not just about money. That's why I referred you to Igboboy's post about "unforeseen accidents". Many people have died while trying to get legislators recalled and I'll give examples later tonight.

mikolo80:
like I said you either put up or shut up.
imagine if the senator told you to bend over and take it up the wazoo or meet an unfortunate ''accident '',would you or would you fight back somehow?
same thing
only difference is level of interest
nobody is interested in making Nigeria or their community better. all na mouth. when e pain you well we go do som'n about it. till then.... don't forget nobody believed pdp could be beaten with federal might

naptu2:


You still don't get it. You said that it hasn't been done and I'm telling you that it's been done many times and I'm telling you what has happened every time it's been done. I'm not even saying that it that it shouldn't be done again. I'm simply telling you that it's been done many times and these have been the results.

In fact, later tonight I'll post cases of when it's been done and the result of those attempts.
