The
Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Mahmood
Yakubu, says only N100m was spent on the failed attempt to recall Kogi-West
lawmaker, Senator Dino Melaye.
The INEC
chairman said this while responding to a question posed by this reporter at a
press conference in Abuja on Friday.
Yakubu
said the figure was nowhere near the N1bn being bandied by the Peoples
Democratic Party.
He said a
recall exercise is just like conducting a Senatorial election, adding that
Kogi-West which Melaye represents, has 552 polling units and seven local
governments.
The INEC
boss said ad hoc staff were deployed in all the polling units.
