The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has dismissed a petition seeking the recall of Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, citing failure to meet constitutional requirements.

In a statement released on Thursday, INEC announced that the petition fell short of the mandatory threshold of 50% of registered voters in the constituency, as stipulated by the Nigerian constitution.

Reacting to the development, Senator Uduaghan expressed gratitude and dedicated the victory to Nigerians. Taking to her official Facebook page, she wrote:

“On God, it’s victory for the people. One battle down, two more to go. 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 senator hailed the electoral body for upholding due process and thanked her supporters for standing by her throughout the ordeal.

The recall petition had sparked widespread debate within Kogi Central, but with the INEC ruling, Senator Uduaghan has secured a significant victory amid ongoing political challenges.
