Melaye recall: Kogi PDP denounce process, urge members to stay away

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kogi State chapter
has called on members to shun what it described as the government
contrived recall process of Senator Dino Melaye.

The party on Friday in a statement by its Director, Research and
Documentation, Achadu Dickson, labelled the planned recall of the
member representing the Kogi West Senatorial district, as a hoax,
and urged members to kick against it.

It dissociated itself from the recall process, describing it as
undemocratic and a display of executive recklessness against
opposing voices.

The PDP asserted that it is in support of the embattled APC
senator in exposing bad governance that has characterized the
Governor Yahaya Bello-led administration in Kogi.

It said that Senator Melaye’s message of inept leadership and
bad governance that has brought the state to its lowest ebb, “only
goes to reinforce the PDP’s position that Kogi is now a failed
state, and made a laughing stock among comity of states in
Nigeria.

The statement called on the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC), security agencies, not to lend themselves as
tools in the forceful plan to deny the people of Kogi West the
right to elected representation, without necessarily being at the
mercy of the executive arm of government.

It urged members to remain peaceful and law abiding, and not to
succumb to intimidation from mischief makers in achieving the
recall.
