A group under the aegis of Bunu Youth Forum (BYF) has come out to condemn the ongoing effort to recall Kogi state Senator, Dino Melaye, representing Kogi West senatorial district.
The group described the process as an attempt by some selfish individuals to discredit the good work that the senator is doing in representing the constituency at the senate.
According to the leader of the group, Hon. Kingsley Mokikan, stated that even Nigerians outside the state can attest to the fact that Melaye is gradually becoming a household name in the country and as such he is a pride to the entire good people of Kogi State.
They also described the process as the most unfortunate thing to ever happen in Okunland as some people have allowed themselves to be used in such an unholy attempt which is not in the interest of the people of the district.
“We have waited for them to summit their petition to INEC and thank God they have done just that. We are waiting for the next step from INEC as we are prepared to witness against this fraudulent recall process
“As far as we are concerned as Bunu Youth, we have not at anytime appended our signatures to any documents regarding the recall of Senator Dino Melaye. We in Bunu don’t destroy the house that we use our hand to build. We voted for senator Dino and we have no reason whatsoever to wanting to recall him”.
“We are ready to testify in any law court under oath that we have not signed any document and we are ready to challenge the process in court if in anyway during INEC verification we find our names in the satanic register as signatories to the said document”, he added
The group added that it is only a man that hate the people of the western senatorial district that will seek for the recall of Senator Melaye.
“We have not had it this good in the history of the Nigerian senate as far as the district is concerned. Dino is doing us proud. His legislative prowess has no match. Presently he has the highest number of Bills and motions and all these are people oriented
“His problems started when he stood up to challenge the nonpayment of salaries and pensions as well as the closure of all the higher institutions of learning in the state which no one has been able to question the governor and his aides for this
“He asked that despite that the governor has collected huge sum of money within a year and half, up to 100billion naira and more, yet he could not pay workers salaries. As far as we are concern, Senator Dino is being condemned today for speaking the truth and we as Bunu Youth are ready to stand by him through this trouble waters” they concluded.
