INEC Rejects Petition to Recall Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has dismissed the petition seeking to recall Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, citing failure to meet constitutional requirements. The recall process initially gained momentum, sparking political tensions in Kogi Central Senatorial District. Meanwhile, Akpoti-Uduaghan was involved in a heated Senate Committee hearing, where she later publicly apologized to former minister Oby Ezekwesili. The controversy surrounding her tenure continues to fuel political debates. INEC’s decision effectively halts the recall attempt, at least for now.
