Already, out of
360,098 of the total registered voters of the seven western senatorial
districts in Kogi State comprising Yagba, Mopa Muro, Kabba Bunu, Yagba
East, Koton Karfe, Lokoja and Ijumu, 188, 588, signed the recall
register constituting 52.3% of the voters in senatorial district.
According to Section 69 of the 1999 Constitution, below are the 10 stets to follow.
1
More than half of the registered voters in the Senator’s senatorial
district write, sign and send a petition to the Chairman of the
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC alleging their loss of
confidence in the senatorial
2 The petition must be signed, and arranged according to polling units, wards, Local Government Areas, and constituency.
3
INEC notifies the Senator sought to be recalled, stating that it has
received a petition for his or her recall, if the petition is valid
4
INEC issues a public notice or announcement stating the date, time and
location of the verification of signatures to the petition.
5
INEC verifies the signatures to the petition at the designation. The
signatories must be individuals who appear on the voters’ register.
6 INEC conducts a referendum if more than one half (50% + 1) of the signatories are verified
7
INEC writes to the petitioners stating that the minimum requirements
for a referendum were not met, if the number verified is less than one
half of the registered voters in that constituency. The petition will
therefore be dismissed.
8 INEC conducts a referendum within 90 days
of receipt of the petition if the minimum requirements for a referendum
are met. The referendum will be a simple yes or no vote on whether the
Senator should be recalled, and will be decided by simple majority of
the votes of the persons registered to vote in that Senator’s
constituency.
9
If majority of the voters in the constituency vote ‘yes’ the Chairman of
the INEC will send a Certificate of Recall to the Senate President to
effect the recall.
