12million Lavished On Dino's Recall-senate by Yeeshanairaland: 1:20pm On Jul 11, 2017 |
The Nigerian Senate has reaffirmed it's position on the role of the Senate in legislative recall process, berating the Kogi state government for its alleged role in the recall process initiated against Senator Dino Melaye representing Kogi West at the Red Chamber. The President of the Senate who was reacting to a point of order raised by Senator Ike Ekwerenmadu on a three pages advertorial on National dailies from the office of the Kogi state Attorney General who disagreed with the position of deputy Senate President Ike Ekwerenmadu on the procedure for recall process. Recall that Ekwerenmadu had during a debate on the matter mentioned that the recall process must pass through the Senate for vetting after INEC must have concluded it's process. Reacting to this position, the Kogi state Attorney General relying on section 68 subsection 8 had according according to Ekwerenmadu in his point of order contended that the senate had no role whatsoever in the recall process. However, Ekwerenmadu as part of his point of order read out section 68 subsection 2 of the 1999 constitution as amended saying that the position of the law on the matter is that the Senate must be satisfied with the process before it could be allowed to sail through or otherwise. He berated the Kogi state Attorney General reiterating that his knowledge of the law is limited. The President of the Senate Bukola Saraki who also lamented that it was unfortunate for the state government to spend a whooping 12 million Naira on adverts in response to the contribution of a lawmaker even when the state has not been able to pay salaries described the situation as unfortunate for Kogi people. Saraki also stated that the response from the state government, the energy and funding invested in the process shows that the state government is behind the recall process. http://nuus.ng/12million-lavished-for-dinos-recall-senate/ |

Nna see finishing touches. Bello may end up making more enemies than friends in the Dino-gate. You may agree with me that this Dino is a bad guy and his case can conveniently be handled at the polls(only if you have a better deal). As at now, it is a mission impossible. |

Pay Kogi workers/pensioners their salaries and arreas, is their any big deal about that simple responsibility from Yeye Bello's government 15months now and we are still counting, but he chose to channel his youthful energy into recalling the best senator from his state. Yes, he is the best senator from my state as far as this 8th assembly is concerned. I don't even know the name of the other two senators from my state because i have never notice their impact at the senate. I just hope Bello will wake up on time and relize the futility of trying to recall Sen. Dino. Bello, stop wasting our bail-out fund, paris refund and allocations, do the needful for goodness sake. If he succeed in it(which is not possible) "ajeku iya ni bello maje", and if he fails in his bid to recall him, double "ajekun iya" will surely await him. 3 Likes |

However, Ekwerenmadu as part of his point of order read out section 68 subsection 2 of the 1999 constitution as amended saying that the position of the law on the matter is that the Senate must be satisfied with the process before it could be allowed to sail through or otherwise. ** I have seen the paragraph Ekweremadu was referring; let me paste it here for interpretation: This guy is smart by half. He thinks he is talking to illiterates? The senate has a say only when a Senate is vacating his seat based on section 68 below and not based on section 69.
Now that is when the senate has a say; but when a sentor is being recalled, the senate doesn't have a say as contained in section 69 (not 68) of the constitution as pasted below:

Geeman23: INEC will most likely submit the result of the recall to the senate and he stands recalled. But then, this is an interesting development. It will be a blueprint for other recall processes we may have in the near future. |
