•Allegation spurious, says Kogi govt Senator Dino Melaye (Kogi West) has accused Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello of sponsoring efforts to recall him from the Senate, with the release of N200 million to each of the seven local governments in the district. Melaye, who addressed his supporters at his constituency office in Kabba yesterday, said the threat to recall him remains a joke. According to him, 30 members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who refused to collect the money and append their signature on the recall form distributed “by the Kogi State government, have been arrested by the police”. He said: “Quote me, Governor Yahaya Bello has released N200 million to each of the seven councils in my Senatorial district to facilitate my recall from the Senate. “The money has been released but they are facing resistance in all the polling units, as people refused to sign the recall form. But he is a joker, my achievements speak for me. “So far, about 30 persons, including the Ward/Unit chairman in Ife/Olukotun, Mosunmola Shittu, have been arrested on the government’s orders. Everywhere they go, they are facing resistance and have not been able to get signatures because the people are resisting them.” A Kabba chief, Ayodele Olukore, expressed their support for Senator Melaye, saying: “We are all supporting him. Nobody can remove Dino. “He is working for us seriously in Kogi West. All they are doing is under government house directive, and they have already met their waterloo.” Efforts to speak with the police spokesman, William Ayah, over the alleged arrests were unsuccessful. However, a senior officer, who pleaded for anonymity, said some arrests were made, but for public disturbance. But the state government has refuted the allegations, describing it as “spurious”. Governor Bello’s chief press secretary, Petra Akinti Onyegbule, in a statement, said: “It is a spurious allegation”.]]>
