E dey impossible to recall lawmakers for Nigeria?
After di recall process of Senator Dino Melaye fail on Saturday April 28, 2018, some Nigerians don dey wonder weda e even dey possible to recall lawmaker for di kontri National assembly.
Di chief press secretary to di chairman for Independent National Electoral commission (INEC) Rotimi Oyekanmi tell BBC News Pidgin say e no dey impossible to recall lawmaker back but dey need to follow di process according to di law. E say although some pipo dey talk say di process dey hard but with di example of Dino Melaye case, na something wey pipo fit test. Oga Oyekanmi also explain say INEC no need to ask kweshun weda di lawmaker wey im pipo wan recall do anytin bad or commit any crime, dia own na to receive di petition and begin di process within 90 days. How di process dey like? According to Mr Oyekanmi, wen some group of pipo from a particular constituency feel say dia representative no dey do di right tin and dem wan recall am back: Di recall process of Senator Dino Melaye end for di verification stage because pipo wey INEC verify say sign di petition na only 5.34% instead of di 50.1% wey di law need to enta di final stage. Mr Oyekanmi add join say if di pipo wey submit petition against di senator wan re-carri anoda one come again, di law permit dem to present anoda one and INEC go still pass through di same process again.
