Nigerian lawyer and human rights activist, Prof Chidi Odinkalu has taken to his official X account on Tuesday to react after the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC said all the people who signed the petition for Natasha’s recall didn’t put their real addresses.
This came after the senator representing Kogi Central was suspended for six months over violation of Senate rules. It would be recalled that the Senate also ordered that her security aides and salary be withdrawn.
According to The Cable, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, said the petitioners didn’t put their definite addresses, e-mail addresses and phone numbers.
According to The Cable, INEC said that;
“The Commission’s immediate observation is that the representatives of the petitioners did not provide their contact address, telephone number(s) and e-mail address(es) in the covering letter forwarding the petition”.
Reacting, Chidi Odinkalu stated that even the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC can’t verify the people who signed the petition.
According to Chidi Odinkalu on his official X account;
“Even INEC cannot verify the existence of the ghosts specially imported to petition for the recall of Natasha Akpoti”.
