The embattled senator Dino Melaye (Kogi West) has alleged that the signatures of his constituents, which were collected for his recall, were forged and fraudulently forwarded to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Addressing newsmen at the press centre of the Nigeria Union of Journalists in Lokoja on Sunday, Melaye reiterated that signatures of dead persons were among those purportedly seeking his recall from the Senate.

Meanwhile, on Twitter, the senator wrote, “No weapon formed against me shall prosper. When God is with you,you are a winner.

“Those who laugh at me will soon laugh with me.

“It is easier to wake a man who is asleep than a man who is pretending to be asleep. Yahaya Bello is pretending to be asleep.”

I don't care what people say because not all hear what I hear and see what I see. I'm connected to the divine source, God Almighty
