The former APC candidate for Ijumu Constituency seat in Kogi State House Assembly, stated that if the electorate did not commence the recall process, those monies must have been diverted.

“The recall exercise of Senator Dino Melaye was entirely initiated and is being pursued by constituent of Kogi West senatorial District, having had enough of Senator Dino’s unbearable utterances, conduct and misbehaviour, both in and out of the hallowed chamber of the National Assembly, coupled with total disconnection from the people he claimed to represent.

“It is, therefore, a deliberate falsehood for anyone to allege that the initiator of recall exercise are not from Kogi West”, he stressed.
