Senator Dino Melaye Recall Fails, Verification Materials Hijacked by Nobody: 4:53am On Apr 29, 2018 |
The attempt to recall the Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Dino Melaye, has failed after the verified signatories to the petition for his recall fell short of requirements. For the verification exercise to succeed, 50 percent plus one of the signatories to the petition had to be verified. However, based on the results announced by Professor Ukertor Gabriel Moti, the Declaration Officer for the exercise held in the senatorial district on Saturday, only 18,742 of the 189,870 of the signatories to the petition for the Senator’s recall were verified by INEC. Although some hoodlums attacked the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) in Mopamuro Local Government of Kogi state on Saturday. The hoodlums disrupted the collation of results, shot in the air, damaged vehicles and escaped with results sheets, while the INEC staff fled for safety. One of the INEC staff, who spoke on condition of anonymity, alleged that the hoodlums were political thugs who accompanied an aide of the governor to the INEC office to challenge the outcome of the verification exercise as it did not favour them. The hijack of the result sheets at the council, was one of the low points of the exercise to recall Senator Dino Melaye, who represents Kogi West in the Senate. The verification of the signatures calling for his recall was marred by low voters turn out at many polling units. NAN Correspondent who monitored the verification exercise reports that between 70- 80 per cent of the petitioners in all the 10 wards in the council failed to come out to verify their signatures. The exercise which lasted for six hours from 8am to 2pm, was very peaceful, free, fair and credible as the scanty petitioners were seeing verifying their signature with low turnout. In Ward 01 (Units: 001; 002; 003) , Ward 03 (Units: 01; 02; and some other units in other wards, only 20 to 25 per cent of the petitioners were recorded as counted by the poll officers. However, one polling unit each in Ward 06 and 07, Orokere and Takete-Ide respectively recorded 40 and 45 per cent turnout while only one polling unit recorded 90 per cent turnout (103 out of 110 petitioners. Many voters expressed their displeasure over the appearance of their names on the recall register, saying they were shocked because they never at anytime signed any document for Melaye’s recall. One of the voters at Ward 06, unit 04, Mrs Funmilayo Ojo, said that she was surprised to see her name among the petitioners, saying “it shall not be well with the perpetrators of such act” https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/04/breaking-attempt-recall-dino-melaye-fails-verification-materials-hijacked/ 24 Likes

Finally the people of Kogi have realised that Dino Melaye is being persecuted for speaking up to authority, for being the voice of the masses against the failed and incompetent government we have today. 227 Likes 21 Shares |

This failure was successful because of witch-hunting and bad leadership shown by the FG and Kogi State Government. Kogites can be wicked oh!!! After collecting money from the Actors of Recall to recall Dino; they still stayed at home sleeping and never did what they collected money for. grin grin grin grin This means that even a Hospitalized candidate WILL SURELY send PMB back to Daura in 2019 with Bello as his cattle keeper.

When Dangote saw that Goodluck was losing,he re-strategized,and quietly switched over to Buhari in 2015...I see that some Zombies have no ears to the ground..Even the recall failure should have shown them that the name `sai baba`is no longer working as in 2015. But a zombie is a zombie... 48 Likes 3 Shares |

However,I think that some are retreating...i do not know if they are paid campaigners....for sometime noe SARRKI has stopped posting...perhaps one of his ancestors has been murdered in Benue..Sai Baba worked wonders in 2015,just mention it you win but today PERCEPTION of that is changing...one woman had the courage to say that she was told that money was being shared thats was why she came out....One other man said his signature was forged....and so on...Certainly,there will be more drama,ignominy,and shame in the weeks and months to come.

I fear for Nigerians especially our youths, so many ppl were saying Dino is not good to become a senator that his recall should be an example to other politicians and today that his ppl decided to support him by making him to retained his position as a senator, now everyone are now supporting and praising him. When Dino was shouting and saying the whole truth nobody believed him especially when he said so many signatures were from dead ppl nobody believed, today we all witnessed what happened yesterday at Kogi State. Shame to us! We all must not be a two face sided ppl who doesn’t know our right that’s why we are suffering today because we don’t know our left and right!. 36 Likes 3 Shares |

The high-handedness of the Buhari government has failed. But the sad thing is that neither Dino nor the governor are responsible people. Kogi remains under bondage. 1 Like |
