Breaking: INEC Receives 52.3% Signatures On Dino’s Recall

 The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has reportedly received the 188,588 signatures out of the 360,098 registered voters in Kogi West representing 52.3% percent required for the recall of Senator Dino Melaye.

Reports have it that six bags contained the signatures of the electorates were submitted to the electoral body on Wednesday.

It would be recalled that on Monday, the Special Adviser to the state governor on political affairs, Mr. Pius Kolawole had announced the results of collated signatures in Lokoja while addressing party members from the district.

Kolawole had also commended the voters in the district for turning out en mass for the exercise, saying that Section 69 of the 1999 constitution backed their action. “In 2015, we voted for Dino and now we are using the same method to return him home,” he had said.
