Dino’s recall: INEC must prosecute those who forged signatures recall-inec-must-prosecute-forged-signatures group

-
Nigerians, has called on the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Professor Mahmood Yakubu to prosecute those who allegedly forged signatures of dead persons in the recall list of Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District,  Dino Melaye.





The group, in a statement signed by its Convener, Deji Adeyanju and issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Theophilus Abu Agada, it said INEC and its officials must investigate and prosecute those who smuggled the forged names in the list of a now failed attempt to recall the senator.

Statement reads: 

“We observed yesterday with dismay the charade called the recall of senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District,  Dino Melaye. The recall according to our team of observers who were on ground to witness the process was fraught with irregularities, manipulations and forgery.
 
We are calling on INEC chairman, Professor  Mahmood Yakubu  to prosecute all those who played a role in perpetrating forgery and also conniving with the initiators of Senator Melaye’s recall to smuggle in names of dead persons and those who never appended their signatures to the purported list asking for the recall of Senator Dino Melaye as this portends serious dangers for the 2019 elections. 

If Professor  Mahmood Yakubu  fails to do this, it will therefore mean he lacks the moral value to continue as INEC chairman since all these things happened under his watch. We equally enjoin the electorates whose  names were fraudulently included in the recall list to approach the  Court for redress as our organisation, Concerned Nigerians is willing to provide legal services and other supports for the affected persons to get justice.

Most of the electorates we spoke with told us in confidence that they neither wrote nor signed  the purported list calling for the recall of Senator Dino Melaye. We are calling on the Independent National Electoral Commission to as a matter of urgency investigate and prosecute those responsible for the names that were smuggled into the list. INEC and it’s officials must ensure such people stop making mockery of our democratic system and allow the people to freely make their democratic choice as regards who govern or represent them at all times.”

While some applauded the singer for the ‘thoughtful’ gift, others see it as excess spending on a girl still living with her parents. Going by some of the comments on the singer’s Instagram handle which he is yet to respond to, some of his followers are not happy with his sudden declaration of love to a lady he claimed he has been dating for five years, especially considering that he has had two daughters from other ladies. A fan by the handle jessy_bianca wrote; “@davidoofficial “All over my timeline… its Davido, Chioma and Porsche of 45 million that I see. Most of the girls are tapping into the blessing while the guys are shouting “Chioma cooks day and night for David… but you don’t want to cook for your guy”. I’m just here wondering if...

Nigerian superstar  singer, Wizkid,  born Ayodeji Balogun is the ladies' man. Since he hit the limelight some years back he has continued to win many hearts with his good music and many women, as reports has it, have seen his birthday suit while warming his proverbial fluffy bed. Yet he can't seem to get enough! For the Star Boy, there have been Sola Ogudu, Binta Diallo and Jada Pollock, each with a bouncing baby boy for the singer. Three baby mamas and three sons, may look good enough for any randy man but not the 'Manya' crooner as he has stated in a recent interview that he loves women too much to settle down with one. In the interview he admitted to having several girlfriends and claims all his girls know he has other girls. When asked if he will ever settle down with any particular one, his reply is one that will give no woman hope, not even Jada Pollock, who stood by the singer when his two other baby mamas, Sola Ogudu and Binta Diallo labelled him 'Deadbeat...
