In a statement on Saturday, the Kaura Namoda/Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency Coalition for Sustainable Democracy, a civil society organisation (CSO), explained that the move to recall the lawmaker is in accordance with the Nigerian constitution, specifically section 69 of the 1999 Constitution as amended.
The public statement, signed by the group's chairman, Bello Mahmud, detailed the lawmaker's misdeeds.
Jaji was suspended on May 17 for 'anti-party' activities during the 2023 elections by the state party.
The determined group expressed confidence in providing more than one-half of the registered voters who elected him to sign a no-confidence petition and have it submitted to the Independent Electoral Commission.
Mahmud said the lawmaker has never visited the local government areas he represents despite the fact that the settlements have been the most attacked by bandits,
He also pointed out that Jaji has never provided relief material to the victims of attacks in the said LGAs.
Mahmud concluded that this in stark contrast to the electoral promises he made during the electioneering period.
He added:
"The constituents note with dismay the performance of the lawmaker in the federal House of Representatives is below expectation. He failed woefully in providing good representation to the good people of the constituency. Jaji lacks the political sagacity and tenacity of purpose required of a lawmaker representing a state under bandits’ siege. We call on all lovers of democracy, good governance, security, and effective representation in the national assembly to come out en masse and endorse the recall of Hon. Aminu Jaji from the house of representatives"
