Sen Natasha Denies Receiving a Recall Notice From INEC, says she hasn’t been served.
Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the suspended lawmaker representing Kogi Central, has denied receiving a notification for her recall from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on Wednesday, stated that it has informed the senator representing Kogi State Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, over a recall process against her.
Sam Olumekun, National Commissioner and Chairman of, Information & Voter Education Committee at INEC, declared this in a statement on Wednesday. The INEC statement said the notice is in line with Section 69 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The notice read: “Pursuant to Section 69 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), I write to notify you of the receipt of a petition from representatives of registered voters in your constituency seeking your recall from the Senate.
“This notification is in line with the provision of Clause 2(a) of the Commission’s Regulations and Guidelines for Recall, 2024.
“This letter is also copied to the presiding officer of the Senate and simultaneously published on the Commission’s website.”
However, when contacted, Senator Natasha said she is yet to receive any letter from INEC, adding that she would ask her lawyers.
“I haven’t been served. I will ask my lawyers,” she said.
Earlier on Wednesday, INEC confirmed that petitioners seeking the recall of Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, have updated their records as expected by law.
INEC said the petitioners have updated their contact details by providing their telephone numbers and email addresses.
To this end, the electoral commission said it has started the process of recalling Senator Natasha.
