Senator Natasha mocks Yahaya Bello, others as INEC rejects recall petition
The lawmaker representing Kogi Central, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, on Thursday, commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for rejecting the process by some groups and individuals to recall her from the Senate.
The Senator thanked the Nigerian electoral umpire for upholding justice constitutionally and refusing to bow to pressures from what she termed ‘undemocratic elements in Kogi and the Senate.’
Her statement comes a few hours after INEC had declared that the recall petition failed to meet the requirement of the Constitution and, therefore, can no longer be processed.
In a statement issued by her media team on Thursday, Akpoti-Uduaghan praised INEC for rejecting what she called a ‘fake process’ by sponsored groups and individuals to recall her from the Senate.

While thanking the electoral umpire for upholding justice and constitutionality, she mocked ex-Governor Yahaya Bello again and others for attempting to break her willpower.
She said, “God has put to shame anti-democratic forces plotting my recall from the Senate, including one of the most wanted persons by the EFCC, former governor Yahaya Bello. All along, I did not exercise any fear because I have a God that never fails, and I have people on my side.
“The decision to reject the recall process is a justice against injustice. INEC has proven to be truly independent, and history will never forget this justice. I commend the umpire for shaming the shameless agents of darkness and setting the record straight according to the laws of our land.
“To God be the glory, we have defeated them again. This development is another record-breaking against those who prefer coming from the backyard, the manipulators, election riggers, the violent merchants and their allies in Kogi Central and beyond.
“Bear in mind that your days are numbered in politics. I am out to bring justice to the oppressed and to ensure Nigeria is great again.”.
