The petition seeking the recall of the Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District has failed to meet the legal threshold set by the Nigerian Constitution.
According to official sources, the petition did not satisfy the requirements outlined in Section 69(a) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which governs the process for recalling a sitting senator.
This development effectively halts any further proceedings on the matter, barring any legal contestation. Further details regarding the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) assessment of the petition and the response from the senator’s camp are expected in a detailed statement to be released shortly.
Stay tuned for more updates.
