The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said the petition submitted for the recall of the senator representing Kogi Central in the National Assembly, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has failed to meet constitutional requirements.
In a statement signed by the Secretary to INEC, Rose Oriaran-Anthony, the commission said the petition failed to meet Section 69(a) of the Nigerian constitution.
INEC explained that the constitutional requirement for a recall was to get a signed petition by at least 50 per cent plus one person registered to vote in the constituency.
However, the petition submitted was signed by 43.86 per cent of the constituents. It said only 208,132 of the 474,554 registered voters in the constituency signed the petition.
