Come August 19, Senator Dino Melaye representing Kogi West senatorial district, will learn his fate as his constituents decide if he remains in the Senate or returns home.

INEC released the time table for Melaye’s recall, in Abuja, yesterday after they had, last week, acknowledged receiving a petition from constituents asking to recall him.

Melaye, who had initially ridiculed the process has come out to challenge the process saying it all has been orchestrated by the state governor.

A spokesperson of INEC Chairman, Rotimi Oyekanmi, has said that the commission would go ahead with the recall as the suit being referred to by Melaye’s counsel is mere intent to challenge the process.

“Yes, it is true we received a letter from his lawyer but, that is just an intention to go to court, the case has not been heard, so, you can’t say we should stop our process because he wants to go to court. He can go to court and pursue whatever he wants to, but, we’ll go on with our process,”
