Nigerian Senate has rejected Lauretta Onochie's confirmation as a
National Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC).
The decision was taken on Tuesday.
Onochie’s non-confirmation followed the report by the Senate
Committee on (INEC), Senator Kabir Gaya who said her nomination breaches
Federal Character principles.
Kabir Gaya cited Section 14 (1) 3 of the Constitution, stating that
somebody was already a Commissioner from her zone, and the law remains
clear about that.
