Melaye: I’ve seen the names of dead people on my recall register

Dino Melaye, the senator representing Kogi West senatorial district at the National Assembly, has mocked the kogi state government for its “stupidity” in the handling of his planned recall from the legislature.

According to Melaye, for whom a petition has already been lodged at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), some of the people listed to have signed the document are already dead.




     

     

    “It can not succeed. It is a hoax and absolute comedy of errors. I’m laughing at the stupidity of kogi state government,” he tweeted on Wednesday.

    “Many appointees will go to jail for forgery. Even dead people’s names on the recall register.

    “A governor who does not know what double registration is may not as well know the procedure for recall. Every lie has an expiry date.

    “This comedy of errors will soon end. No shaking at all. This won’t solve the problem of not paying salaries for over 15 months.No retreat no surrender. Truth is my only Defence.”
