Yakubu said the figure was nowhere near the N100bn being bandied by the Peoples Democratic Party.

” 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.

“Ad hoc staff were deployed in all the polling units.” Yakubu added.
