BREAKING: Sen. Natasha Reacts to INEC’s Rejection of Recall Petition

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has expressed her gratitude to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for rejecting the petition to recall her.

In a statement on her official Facebook page, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan said, “On God, it’s victory for the people of Nigeria. One battle down, two more to go.”

She also thanked her husband, constituents, and Nigerians for their support, saying, “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.”

The petition to recall Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan was rejected due to its failure to meet the required threshold, including the lack of contact addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of the petitioners.

Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan had earlier accused the former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, and Senate President Godswill Akpabio of allegedly plotting to kill her. The Kogi State government had also accused her of inciting violence in the state with her remarks.

The rejection of the petition is a significant victory for Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, who has been facing opposition from her constituents and the state government. With this development, she can now focus on her legislative duties without the threat of recall hanging over her head.

The controversy surrounding Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s recall has sparked heated debates among Nigerians. Many have taken to social media to express their opinions on the matter, with some hailing the court’s decision as a victory for democracy, while others have criticized the move as a setback for accountability and good representation.

As the situation continues to unfold, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has vowed to remain focused on her legislative duties, despite the challenges she has faced. Her determination to serve the people of Kogi Central has earned her praise from her supporters, who see her as a champion of justice and democracy.
