Senate Vehemently Rejects Lauretta Onochie As INEC Commissioner.

The Senate has confirmed five Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) nominees. The Upper house confirmed Prof. Muhammad Sani Kallah, (Katsina), Prof. Kunle Ajayi (Ekiti), Saidu Ahmad (Jigawa), Dr Baba Bila (North-East) and Prof. Abdullahi Zuru (North-West), declining the confirmation of Lauretta Onochie, an aide of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The confirmation of the nominees followed the adoption of the report of the Committee on the screening of the INEC nominees at plenary on Tuesday.

EDESON ONLINE NEWS had reported that Onochie’s nomination was rejected by the Senate for reasons bordering on potential violation of the Federal Character Principle.

The Senate also stood down the confirmation of Prof. Sani Adam (North-Central) for further legislative work.

Who said it’s an abuse of federal character?
And who is abusing the federal character?
It is obvious in our constitution that an umpire of inec should not play partisan politics,must be neutral .
Lauretta is a card carrying member of APC and she’s not qualify ,simple.

I kicked against her nomination because it is totally against the Electoral Law.She can't act in that capacity for abuse of office and rigging in favour of those that appointed her.
