Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has praised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for dismissing the attempt to recall her from the Senate, labeling it a victory against “undemocratic elements.”
Her statement followed INEC’s declaration that the recall petition failed to meet constitutional requirements. Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, thanked INEC for upholding justice and refusing to succumb to pressure.
In a statement released by her media team on Thursday, she described the recall effort as a “fake process” orchestrated by sponsored groups and individuals. She also took a swipe at former Governor Yahaya Bello, currently wanted by the EFCC, accusing him of being among those who sought to undermine her.
“God has put to shame anti-democratic forces plotting my recall from the Senate, including one of the most wanted persons by the EFCC, former governor Yahaya Bello,” she stated. “The decision to reject the recall process is a justice against injustice. INEC has proven to be truly independent, and history will never forget this justice.”
Akpoti-Uduaghan further asserted that the outcome marked another “record-breaking” victory against her political opponents, vowing to continue fighting for justice and national progress.
