The petition for the recall of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing the Kogi Central Senatorial District, has been rejected by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). In an official statement shared on Thursday via its X (formerly Twitter) handle, the commission stated: “The petition for the recall of the Senator representing the Kogi Central Senatorial District has not met the requirement of Section 69(a) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended).”
It is worth noting that INEC had previously raised concerns regarding irregularities in the petition, which were later addressed and rectified by the group advocating for her recall.
A more detailed statement will be issued shortly.
