President Muhammadu Buhari’s Aide on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie has been dealt a heavy blow by the Nigerian Senate as her bid to become the National Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has now hit the rock.
For those who don’t know, the Senate on Monday, July 13th, 2021 declined her nomination as a National Commissioner of INEC.
Onochie’s non-confirmation followed the report by the Senate Committee on (INEC), Senator Kabir Gaya who said her nomination breaches Federal Character principles.
According to Kabir Gaya, “Section 14 (1) 3 of the Constitution, states that somebody is already a Commissioner from her zone, and the law remains clear about that.”
