Kogi West senatorial district of Kogi State has has moved on Saturday to recall her representative in the senate, Dino Melaye.
Political leaders in the seven local government areas of the district mobilized hundreds of constituents to sign the referendum on Melaye’s recall from the Nigerian Senate.
Reacting, Melaye alleged that the move is a handiwork of the State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, who he said was shooting the moon and boxing the air
According to Senator Melaye “Spending over one billion naira tax payers’ money on an unproductive venture, when salaries and pensions have not been paid is wicked. I will continue to defend the poor and defenseless masses of Kogi State. If I die I die. We must rescue the state”.
The event was monitored in several polling units across the local governments and large crowds were seen taking their turns, with their voter’s card in hand to sign the register.
Dino has been having it rough with the sole administrator of Ijumu Local Government Council, Alhaji Taofiq Isah, following alleged assassination attempt on his life.
The local government councils involved in the recall process in Kogi West are Ijumu, Kabba/Bunu, Lokoja, Kogi, Mopa/Amuro, Yagba West and Yagba East.
