Several cases of forgery of constituents signatures in order to meet up with the needed requirements have also been reported by members of the constituency.
Gbenga Olorunfemi, a constituent advised INEC to make public the details of the recall register so that members of the constituency can verify their names and signatures.
I have been reliably informed that my name and signature is on the register, if this is true then those involved will have a case of forgery to face in the court of law, he said.
Another constituent who do not want his name mentioned said almost all the signatures were forged.
The governor, the Local Government Administrators and Aides of the government should be charged to court for forgery immediately without further delay.
Those who signed the register were family members of the governor's aides and few constituents who were given N1000 or N500. Some were even given N200, he concluded.
A pro Dino's group under the aegis of Coalition of Enlightened Voters in Yagba land has also distanced itself from the recall describing it as a comedy.
The group said the recall exercise does not emanate from the electorate but from a sponsored enterprise based on political malice, initiated by interest outside the senatorial district and anchored by the state and local government appointees.
Voters were induced with cash, materials and lured into submitting their voters card after being deceived that the collection of the cards was for the purpose of population census, the group then call on INEC and security departments to commence full investigation into the whole hoax called recall process.
Recalled that few days ago, some members of the constituency alongside with some of the Governor's appointees from Kogiwest Senatorial District submitted to INEC collated signatures of constituents for the recall of Sen. Dino Melaye.
