The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Monday received the petition submitted by Kogi Central constituents seeking to recall their Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
The petition was received by the Secretary of the Commission, Rosemary Oriaran Anthony and other senior staff of the commission.
Submitting the petition, the team lead of the constituents, Omole Charity Ijese noted that the petition was a vote of no confidence on the embattled Senator on grounds of gross misconduct, and abuse of office.
“This petition arises from our loss of confidence in the senator on grounds of gross misconduct, abuse of office, evasion of due process and a pattern of deceitful behaviour that has not only embarrassed the people of Kogi Central constituency but has also tarnished the integrity of the Nigerian Senate and our nation’s democratic institutions.
“By this petition, which we have made sure is signed by more than one-half of the registered voters in Kogi Central, we hereby demand that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) immediately commence the constitutional and procedural process of recall to remove Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan from office and declare her seat vacant,” she said.
