Chief Olowo, who led the constituents of Kogi West to INEC headquarters to submit the petition, accused Melaye of distancing himself from his constituents since he was elected to represent the district in 2015.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released the timetable and schedule of activities for the recall of Sen. Dino Melaye, representing Kogi West Senatorial District.



INEC released the timetable in a statement issued by the Secretary of the Commission, Mrs Augusta Ogakwu, on Monday in Abuja.



Ms Ogakwu, on July 10, said INEC would issue verification notice to be pasted at INEC Local Government Office in Lokoja and Melaye’s constituency.


According to her, the last day for submission of application by interested observers at INEC headquarters office is on July 30.


She disclosed that INEC has fixed Aug. 10 as the last day for submission of names of verification agents for the member to be recalled and the petitioners.



She also added that the commission would schedule stakeholders meeting for the recall to be held on Aug. 15 at INEC Lokoja office.



INEC, on August 19, would conduct verification of the signatures of the petitioners demanding the recall, submitted to the commission from all the polling units in the constituency, she explained.



On the same day, INEC would declare the outcome of the verification at its Local Government Office in Lokoja.



INEC would issue the timetable and schedule of activities for the conduct of referendum subject to the outcome of the verification exercise, she explained.



Speaking with NAN shortly after submitting the petition on June 24, Chief Cornelius Olowo, said the move was based on the senator’s “abysmal performance’’.



Chief Olowo, who led the constituents of Kogi West to INEC headquarters to submit the petition, accused Melaye of distancing himself from his constituents since he was elected to represent the district in 2015.



He said that no fewer than 180,500 registered voters out of the 360,000 voters in the senatorial district endorsed Melaye’s recall.
