Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s legal team has intensified pressure on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to formally serve her with the recall petition filed against her.
In a letter from J.S. Okutepa SAN & Co., her lawyers accused INEC of unnecessary delays despite previous requests on March 24 and 25, 2025. They argued that withholding the petition and its accompanying documents undermines due process and denies the senator her right to a fair hearing.
Citing the legal precedent set in the recall case of former Senator Dino Melaye, the legal team warned that failure to comply within 24 hours would be seen as a violation of constitutional rights and could suggest political interference.
The recall process has sparked political tension in Kogi Central, with many questioning the motivation behind the petition. As the situation unfolds, all eyes remain on INEC to see whether it will comply with legal procedures or deepen the controversy surrounding the recall bid.
