       10 Steps To Recall A Senator In Nigeria.

       Section 69 of the 1999 Constitution provides 10 clear but
       tortuous steps on how a senator can be recalled from the Senate.
       The steps are:
       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.
       10. The Senate President will show affected senator the way out
       of the Senate.

       lalasticlala, with these 10 steps, can a senator be recall?
       Please, for all those queuing to recall Senator Dino Melaye(APC
       Kogi west) read and get enlightened it is exercise in futility.
       Because, if they even meet number 1-9 steps...they can never
       reach successfully that of number 10.
