The Kogi State chapter of the Conference of Nigeria Political parties (CNPP), has passed a ‘vote of No Confidence’ on members of the National Assembly from the state with a threat to institute process of their recall from the senate.
This is as a result of their inability to consult their constituents on the constitutional review.
In a statement issued on Tuesday to pressmen and signed by the state Chairman, Mohammed Kabir Abdullahi and Secretary, Hon.Mouktar Atima, noted that the introductory line of the constitution of the country begins with its amendment which Stakeholders across the three Senatorial Districts of the state aught to be involved in the process.
“To our greatest dismay the people were sidelined, without mincing words none of the representatives called on their constituents for their input, what this clearly means is that there is a hidden agenda especially in the area of the electoral amendment which the CNPP believed will enhance the people’s participation in the electoral processes where the ultimate power will reside with the people.
“The CNPP has faulted the National Assembly members for not defending their constituents who voted them into office. This shows that they are not worthy to lead us hence we are calling for their recall across the three Senatorial District in the State.
