The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has confirmed that it has officially notified Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of the petition seeking her recall as the representative of Kogi Central Senatorial District.
As provided in Clause 2(a) of the Commission’s Regulations and Guidelines for Recall 2024, a letter has been written to notify the Senator sought to be recalled about the receipt of the petition and delivered to her official address. The same letter has been copied to the presiding officer of the Senate and published on the Commission’s website.
The next step is to scrutinise the list of signatories submitted by the petitioners to ascertain that the petition is signed by more than one-half (over 50%) of the registered voters in the Constituency. This will be done in the coming days. The outcome, which will be made public, shall determine the next step to be taken by the Commission.
We once again reassure Nigerians that the process will be open and transparent.
