out, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has concluded
plans over Dino Melaye's recall
- The timetable was released on Monday, July 3, days after INEC
acknowledged receipt of the constituents' complaints
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released the
timetable for the commencement of the recall of Senator Dino Melaye.
The timetable shows INEC would verify the constituents’ signatures on
August 19 and publish the results immediately.
Melaye, who represents Kogi West district at the Senate, is facing the
recall even though he recently went to court demanding that the action
be stopped.

INEC’s timetable was released on Monday, July 3, days after it said it
received a petition from Melaye’s constituents demanding his release.
Premium Times reports that the spokesperson of INEC, Rotimi Oyekanmi,
said in a telephone call earlier: “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.”

Meanwhile, NAIJ.com reported earlier that some top Nigerians standing
for the Yoruba speaking part of Kogi have disowned the signatures
collected to recall Senator Dino Melaye.
Under the Okun Development Initiative, a socio-cultural association, the
top leaders said the recall was the result of misguided advice.
It was learnt that who stood in support of Melaye include former
minister for Justice and Attorney General of Federation, Chief Bayo Ojo,
Professor Eyitayo Lambo, General David Jemibowon (rtd), Tunde Ipinmisho
and General Julius Oshanopin.
