“Pursuant to section 69 of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended, I write to notify you of the receipt of a petition from representatives of registered voters in your constituency seeking your recall from the senate,” the letter reads.

“The notification is in line with the provisions of clause 2 (a) of the Commission’s Regulations and Guidelines for Recall 2024.

“This letter is also copied to the presiding officer of the senate and simultaneously published on the commission’s website. Thank you.”

The letter was signed by Ruth Oriaran Anthony, secretary to the commission.

Meanwhile, in a statement issued on Wednesday, INEC said it has now received the updated contact details from representatives of petitioners seeking to recall the senator.

In the statement, Sam Olumekun, INEC’s national commissioner and chairman of information and voter education, said a letter notifying the senator of the petition has been delivered to her official address, copied to the senate presiding officer, and published on the commission’s website.

“The next step is to scrutinise the list of signatories submitted by the petitioners to ascertain that the petition is signed by more than one half (over 50%) of the registered voters in the constituency. This will be done in the coming days,” Olumekun said.

“The outcome, which will be made public, shall determine the next step to be taken by the Commission. We once again reassure Nigerians that the process will be open and transparent.”

Akpoti-Uduaghan had recently accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of sexually harassing her.

The allegation came in the wake of her seating arrangement altercation between Akpabio and the Kogi central senator at the red chamber

She was subsequently suspended from the senate for six months for “gross misconduct” over the incident.

The constituents behind the recall move also alleged her of “gross misconduct, abuse of office, and deceitful behaviour”.

The senator has denied wrongdoing and called the recall effort a “coordinated suppression” of her voice.
