A man by the name Tope Ayeni, has sworn an
affidavit claiming he was given N20,000 by the
APC chairman in Ayetoro Gbede/Duagbe ward 1
in the state, to convince people to sign the recall
register for Dino Melaye or forge their signatures.
Tope in the affidavit claimed that the chairman
asked him to give N500 to anyone he can
convince to sign the register. A copy of the
affidavit was shared by Dino Melaye above.
Last week, INEC released a statement saying it
has received over 180,000 signatures from
constituents of Kogi West Senatorial district
requesting for Dino to be recalled from the
senate.
Dino Melaye has however come out to say that
some of the people that signed the recall register
were dead people. He maintains that the state
governor, Yahaya Bello, is behind the plot to
recall him from the senate.
