The
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released a timetable and
schedule of activities for the recall of Senator Dino Melaye, representing the
Kogi
West Senatorial District.
According to
the timetable, the first step in the recall process, the notice of
verification, will be held on July 10. The verification exercise will determine
the validity of the voters who signed a petition demanding the recall of Mr.
Melaye.
The
timetable shows that July 31 will be the last day verification observers can
submit their applications, while August 10 will be the deadline for submitting
the names of verification agents.
The
verification exercise will hold on August 19, and the results of the exercise
will be announced the same day.
It would be
recalled that Kogi West voters signed a petition urging INEC to recall Mr.
Melaye from the Nigerian Senate. On June 22, INEC announced that it had
received the petitions and would commence the verification exercise.
