Correct me if I'm wrong but a recall would be followed by the replacement of the deposed senator wouldn't it?

It would be criminal to prevent the constituency from having representation.

agabusta:






Once INEC withdraws his certificate of return, the police, DSS and other security agencies have the legal backing to declare him persona non grata in and around the National Assembly complex.

And with his recent altercation with the police, they'll gleefully carry out the action to the letter.

Don't forget that all the security forces manning the National Assembly report to the Executive.

INEC will also Elect a new senator to that position and issue a certificate of return to the newly elected senator. The new senator will equally present himself at the National Assembly to be sworn in as the senator for Kogi West brandishing his INEC issued certificate for all to see.

There is no where in the constitution that says the Senate has to ratify the recall process. As per the snippet posted above, the Senate President will show him the door. Either he is shown or not, does not invalidate the recall.

Either ways, it's a lose lose for Dino. What makes it more complicated for him is the fact that Saraki is reluctant to declare open war with Buhari. Saraki is being careful and it's his foot soldiers like Dino that will bite the dust.

As it is, Dino is on his own! Till all the legal battles that may arise from the recall, and the others he is presently facing are over, he'll be effectively kept away from the National Assembly. And in essence making whoever he has issues with to have achieved their objectives.

CilicMarin:


Mr. Man, Senate President's role in the recall process is just ceremonial. Before the INEC issues the Senate President Certificate of Recall, it must have withdrawn the Certificate of return.

Why do you think Dino is running to courts to stop the process?

HAH:
he will simply put it in his drawer tell everyone that he will to it at the right time and may be do it on the last plenary of the 8th senate, this is because the constitution did not stipulate a timeframe for the recall

spartan117:
The Senate President will be breaching the provisions of the Constitution if he doesn't. He simply can't 'decide not to perform the last function'

mfm04622:


He can be sued to perform his duty. The court can order him to do it immediately

With the above if Saraki just decide not to perform the last function the whole exercise of Dinos recall is in futility.

agabusta post=Don't forget, the people of Kogi state are not happy with Yahaya Bello; that might be a deciding in this imbroglio.:

dinachi:

You are wrong! The constitution says the moment Senate President 'RECIEVES' the recall letter from INEC Chairman Dino ceases to be a Senator.

mfm04622:


He can be sued to perform his duty. The court can order him to do it immediately

Chuksonyeike:


No new election will hold unless the recall process is completed as laid out in the constitution

NairaMaster1:


You mean they will boycott the SP part? Your sentiment is unpresidented. You know that the whole exercise is a fraud. Yes you know.

Today it's Dino, power doesn't last forever it may be you tomorrow.

Or you think you can't become a senator? May be a kind of rubber stamp senator.

Let us condemn evil. This is democracy.

obi4eze:
He is bound by the law to do his part in the recall process.

HAH:
he will simply put it in his drawer tell everyone that he will to it at the right time and may be do it on the last plenary of the 8th senate, this is because the constitution did not stipulate a timeframe for the recall

HAH:
there is no where in the process above where inec withdraws certificate of return, there role only ends at issuing the senate president certificate of recall, it is senate president that will finally effect recall at plenary or otherwise

HAH:
it will be good if you can tell us the section of the constitution that states that , and if possible post the section for all to see since the constitution is available online

benuejosh:
should i call this ignorance When the time comes, we'll know. What does a recall mean? And who has the powers to effect a recall? INEC, and what does the security do? Security reinforces. The senate president's role is just Ceremonial.
