A group, Abia South Senatorial Movement, has commenced the process of recalling the Senator representing Abia South Senatorial District, Chief Enyinnaya Abaribe, from the senate.
The group, led by Mr. Paul Ikonne, started the process at a meeting organised by its leaders from the six local government areas in the senatorial zone in Aba, the commercial hub of the state.
Ikonne, while addressing the members of ASSM, said the group, with membership from registered political parties in the state, came to the conclusion that Abaribe should be recalled because he had failed the constituents that elected him.
He claimed that Abaribe had been using his position to play opposition politics which he said was not in the interest of those who elected him.
He said, “We are here to share the recall forms as law-abiding citizens and we will follow due process and commence the recall of Senator Abaribe. We will use the same PVC, which we used in voting him into the Senate, to recall him.
“This move is not the affair of any political party because all political parties in the zone are represented here. We will ensure that this recall form gets to all the political units and wards in the senatorial zone. We call on our brothers and sisters to fill this form when they see it and we will give ourselves the next 14 days to complete the collection of signatures from various units and wards where the votes were cast in order to compile the signatures and forward same to the Independent National Electoral Commission.”
