The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, says it has recieved missing information on the recall request in respect of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan representing Kogi Central zone in the Nigerian Senate.
National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Sam Olumekun in a press release said the contact address of representatives of the petitioners, their telephone numbers and e-mail addresses have now been provided in a letter addressed to the Chairman of the Commission dated Wednesday 26th March 2025.
“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”.
Olumekun explained that “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. Which will be done in the coming days and the outcome, which will be made public, shall determine the next step to be taken by the Commission.
He reassured Nigerians that the process will be open and transparent.
