The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been commended for rejecting a petition seeking the recall of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central.
The electoral body’s decision, which has sparked widespread conversations, was lauded by former presidential aide, Laolu Akande and Yiaga Africa’s Executive Director, Samson Itodo.
In a statement, INEC explained that the petition failed to meet constitutional requirements, specifically highlighting that the signatures collected did not reach the threshold needed for a valid recall.
