INEC: Senate minority caucus knocks Buhari over Onochie’s nomination




#our take: We salute  the minority  members  on this, giving  the  fact  that  Buhari/ APC  are  conscious  of the fact  that their  government  is a monumental failure, the  APC led  Senate  will  approve her  nomination  with  the view to  rigging  the 2023 Elections in Delta State #


The Senate Minority Caucus said on Tuesday that the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), flouted the nation’s constitution with the appointment of his media aide, Lauretta Onochie, as a national commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission.


The opposition senators in a statement made available to our correspondent in Abuja and signed by their leader, however, asked Buhari to withdraw Onochie’s nomination.


They noted that Buhari, by nominating Onochie, “has willfully gone against the constitution that he swore to uphold.”


Part of the statement read, “Item F, paragraph 14 of the Third Schedule of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) forbids a card-carrying member of a political party to be a member of INEC.


“The Minority Caucus of the Senate is against this nomination and call on Mr President to withdraw it.”
