The results were announced by the returning officer for the recall of the serving senator, Adamu Yusuf at the All progressives Congress State Secretariat in Lokoja.
”Going by the above figures, it is important to let Nigerians know that we have met the Constitutional requirements of 51.1%. Dino has failed to represent Kogi West so we are calling him back home,” he said.
