Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan of Kogi Central has expressed joy after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) dismissed the petition seeking her recall from office.
On Thursday, INEC announced that the petition did not meet the constitutional requirements necessary for a recall process to proceed. The electoral body noted that the number of constituents who signed the petition was below the required 50% of registered voters in the constituency.
Following the decision, Senator Natasha took to social media to celebrate the outcome, calling it a victory for the people. In a post on her official Facebook page, she wrote, “On God, it’s victory for the people. One battle down, two more to go.”
She went on to express gratitude to her supporters, acknowledging her husband, campaign team, and the people of Kogi Central. “Deep gratitude to my beloved husband, awesome support team, magnificent people of Kogi Central, and great people of Nigeria at large. INEC Nigeria, you did well,” she added.
