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.

ilofy:
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”

But you failed to realise that dickhead Dino is also part of FG. His people in Okun are suffering, and he is there shouting in the chamber! mtcheew

I think finally, we are about to meet the next governor of kogi state.

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.


Hospitalized Dino: 100
Bello/FG: -0

stepo707:
Click like to recall Buhari, share for Dino Melaye

Reference:


Find out the facts behind their suffering and it all comes back to the Federal and State Executives. Dino's only crime could be that he is not putting enough pressure on them or mis representing them, but all evidence is that he has been putting pressure on the Yahaya Bello government to pay dues and invest. What else can he do. And this criticism of his state government is the origin of this recall.

So what you are saying is that if Bello had succeeded in recalling Dino and probably installing a stooge, the people will be better represented and dividends come to them. Then I will ask you is it only folks of Dino's senatorial zone that are suffering in Kogi?

Instead of the governor to prove Dino wrong by good governance he is busy further pauperizing the people by wasting scarce government money and the time of the electorate on a personal, futile vendetta. There is a famous greek saying that, before you go out on revenge, first dig two graves. Guess what.

Why are you including FG?
You think Dino can with stand the federal government if the government want him out?

It is the camp of Yahaya Bello/Oyegun and Dino/Faleke/Tinubu camp that are doing this battle and Buhari has remain neutral like during the senate president election.

If FG want Dino out,it will not even take a week to dump the guy in prison.

Even a state governor can not stand FG talk less of a senator.

Illiterate

Doubt it. Kogi state remains a very backward state governned by the forces of ethnicity and Dino's arsenal is pretty small. Look at the figures of registered voters in those local government areas of his constituency.

And the same okun people refused to recall him. Shame

tayebest:




whoop, @bold plz don't derail. He is collecting consistent allowance every month, what are you to show for it, except to be shouting in the chamber.

At a time, when Osasu (Osasu show) organize her symposium, he invited Dino. Dino was at the show blabbing about his motion always been raise during his time in the Hose and now at the red chamber. A questionnaire ask him how did he FOLLOW UP after he always raise a motion. Dude was dumb as usual he was seen biting around the bush. It's not always about forming boss in chamber, The question is, in all of his motion been raised, which of them all have seen the light if the day?

Are you a 'kogian'? It's just a tribal tin among the Ebira/Igala/Okun!

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...

Lomprico2:
The hoodlum attack is just a cover up by bello to make it seem as if its dino's supporters. Its am after thought after they notice their plot have failed woefully. We know!

asobo:
That's just it my brother. It still baffles me that those ranting re-call him re-call him are the same people that are opposing the invoking of section 143 on pmb. When it is visible to sane minds that he has commited an impeachable offence.

DonaldYusuf:

And you think Bello is without FG support in all these? Truth is, Dino attacks both the FG and Bello, and both want him out.

And to comment on your last paragraph, yes a state governor can stand the FG and we have seen it happen many times. Case in point; Amaechi Vs Jonathan, Fayose Vs Buhari/FG, Wike Vs Amaechi/FG, Tinubu Vs Obasanjo/FG, etc.
