The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said it will conduct verification of signatures for the recall of Dino Melaye on October 14.

INEC disclosed this in its amended timetable and schedule of activities issued by its Secretary, Mrs. Augusta Ogakwu, in Abuja on Monday.

Ogakwu said the verification would take place in all polling units in Kogi West, while INEC notification for the exercise would be released on Oct. 3.

She said that INEC had fixed Oct. 5 as the last day for the submission of applications by observers, and Oct. 9 for the publication of the list of accredited observers for the exercise.

The commission said that it had provided Melaye with relevant materials to study.

“In fixing the timetable for the verification, sufficient time has been provided for the senator to study the petition and accompanying materials to effectively prepare for the verification in accordance with the order of the Federal High Court, Abuja.’’
