BREAKING: Nigeria Senate rejects Lauretta Onochie as INEC commissioner
The Senate on Tuesday, rejected the confirmation of Lauretta Onochie as a National Commissioner of the INEC.
Chairman of the Committee, Kabiru Gaya, in his report said Onochie did not satisfy the provisions of the Federal Character Principles.
The Senate at the committee of the whole subsequently voted against her nomination.
Onochie has last week denied her membership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) three times.
This followed her grilling by senators to determine her suitability for appointment as a National Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Onochie, who appeared before the Senate Committee on INEC, said she parted ways with the APC and stopped her volunteer work with the Buhari Support Organisation (BSO) in 2019.
