The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said it has finally received the details of representatives of the petitioners in the recall process of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, in a letter addressed to the chairman of the commission dated today, March 26, 2025.
The required details are contact address, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses.
National Commissioner and Chairman, Information & Voter Education Committee, Sam Olumekun, said in a press release: “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 said 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,” he said, adding, “We once again reassure Nigerians that the process will be open and transparent.”
