Dino Melaye, the senator representing Kogi West, has declared that the on-going recall process to remove him from his seat will not work.
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, meanwhile has published a timetable for the controversial senator’s recall proceedings. This follows the receipt of 185,000 signatures calling for Melaye’s recall.
In a series of tweets on Monday, July 3, 2017, the senator prayed that the ploy by his enemies against him would “scatter by fire!”
He said that God was the one who called him into the National Assembly and thus no one can recall him.
“Those who did not call me cannot recall me… Every joint effort to pull me down, I declare be scattered by fire in Jesus name. Father uproot every institution that has been empowered to see to my frustration in Jesus name,” Dino Melaye wrote on the social media platform.
“Mighty God give an uncommon blessing that will draw people’s attention to my life.
“God I am grateful for everything. By the Grace of God my enemies will remain under my feet.
“I thank God because He is my Compass. Surely He shall deliver me from the snare of the Fowler. I am saved and secure.
“Brethren fear not, you will not be put to shame because I’m a child of God.”
