reported earlier today that the date for the commencement of the recall process of the embattled Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, was announced by the Kogi state Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The announcement was made on Wednesday by Professor James Apam, the Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, who said following the appeal court ruling that INEC can commence the recall process, the commission fixed the last Saturday of April as the verification date.
In a swift reaction to the INEC announcement, Senator Dino Melaye, said that he has nothing to fear regarding a petition by his constituents calling on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recall him.
The lawmaker is currently fighting perhaps his toughest political battle as some of his constituents push to recall him, a move he has accused his state governor, Yahaya Bello, of instigating.
The senator took to his Twitter page on Wednesday to express confidence of overcoming his travails, shortly after
posting a video taunting the Kogi State governor.
In his tweet, Dino said: ”Nothing to fear. It is dismissive and evaporative. INEC will be served bc I have appealed to the Supreme Court. I do have absolute trust in my constituents.
“They never signed anything so Yahaya Bello will have to look for the imaginary people.
”Who will go and verify the made-in Taiwan signatures if we get there. It was a colossal waste of our common patrimony. Truth is Truth- SAM.”
