#factcheck Hon Simon Lalong Once Survived Recall Referendum by paulharry: 2:41pm On Jun 22, 2017
Contrary to some assertion that Dino Melaye is the first lawmaker whose constituents commenced a recall process, About 8 legislators but in State a d Federal level had in the past faced the dilemma of being recalled by their constituents. None was successful. Hon Simon Lalong case, however proceeded to the Stage of Referendum. in August 2005, then Hon Simon Lalong, speaker of Plateau State House of Assembly (Now Governor of Plateau) survived a recall Referendum, when his constituents wanted to recall him from the State Assembly. 30,873 voted No while 10,988 voted Yes.

However, if INEC can verify the signatures of those who signed Dino Melaye's recall petition, then the Referendum will be the next stage. In my opinion, the recall process seem cumbersome, because if it proceeds to Referendum, and he loses, Will the senate President let him considering the Akwa Ibom senator's case and the fact that Dino is a Saraki right hand man

Let's keep our fingers crossed

in lalong's case,it lost steam at the end and the governor was not involved.in melaye's case,the hardest part remaining is the signature verification.once that stage is passed,the rest is a formality.saraki cannot do anything to stop the move,you all should stop mentioning him.his role is mere formality which involves reading out inec report on the referendum which would have been public knowledge already.once majority votes against dino,hes already out.stop supporting him or clutching to illusionary straws
