Embattled
senator representing Kogi West in the National Assembly, Dino Melaye, has sued
the Independent National Electoral Commission over the ongoing moves by his
constituents to recall him.
Dino
said he filed the case on Friday at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
In a
series of tweets deriding his proposed recall by his constituency, the lawmaker
also alleged that dead people were among those who signed the petition seeking
to have him recalled.
He
tweeted, “I have filed my case against INEC today at the Federal High Court
Abuja. Even dead people were among those who signed petition to recall Dino
Melaiye. Lmaooo.”
Dino
Melaye had earlier said INEC was yet to communicate him over his planned recall
from the Senate.
The
lawmaker insisted that INEC has not informed him of a date, for the
verification of signatures of his constituents submitted to the electoral
umpire.
“I
have not receive anything from INEC,” Melaye said.
Recall
that the embattled Senator had described his planned recall as a comedy of
errors which would never happen.
“It cannot
succeed. It is a hoax and absolute comedy of errors. I’m laughing at the
stupidity of Kogi State government.
“Many
appointees will go to jail for forgery. Even dead people’s names are on the
recall register”, he said
