Some people in Kogi State West Senatorial District have began the process of recalling the Senator, represent them in the Senate, Dino Melaye, saying that they are tired of being embarrassed by him.
The people, most f them in Odo Ape, a major part of the Senatorial District, stressed that they no longer want Senator Melaye as their representative as they said that the lawmaker has performed below expectations.
This was even as the embattled Senator accused the State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello of being behind the whole thing, describing the process to recall him from the upper legislative chamber as an exercise in futility, insisting that he is focused on defending the poor and defenseless people of Kogi.
The Senator said that governor Yahaya Bello “is shooting the Moon and boxing the air. 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.”
His reaction came after the Special Assistant to Governor Bello on Electronic Media, Gbenga Olorunpomi, shared photos of constituents in Odo Ape queueing up to append their signatures for the recall of Melaye.
“The people of Odo Ape say they no longer want senator Dino Melaye as their representative! See photos of the process. The Dino recall process is alive and well in Kogi west. We just might make history.” [myad]
