INEC receives over 200,000 petitions to recall Senator Natasha from Kogi Central Constituents.

Senator Natasha denies apologising to the Senate or anyone over her suspension ban.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has acknowledged the receipt of a petition seeking the recall of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central Senatorial District amid her denial of apology to the Senate or any person.


This development follows a series of political events, including Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s recent suspension from the Senate and the alleged sexual harassment suit filed against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.


INEC secretary, Rose Oriaran-Anthony confirmed that it received the petition on Monday as the constituents insisted that the signed petition met the requirements as stipulated by the Constitution 1990 as amended.

It was reported in the media that constituents from Kogi Central initiated the recall process, expressing dissatisfaction with Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s performance and citing a loss of confidence in her representation.


They alleged that Senator Natasha failed to engage with her constituents, nor did she offer any message in response to their concerns. They equally stated that her alleged misconduct is a pointer to her failure to effectively represent the interests of Kogi Central.


The recall process involved indigenes with voter’s cards signing the petition across polling units in the five local governments of Kogi Central. However, reports emerged alleging that some electorates were misled into providing their voter card under the pretense of an empowerment program where money would disbursed.

Earlier on, the Federal High Court in Lokoja had granted an interim injunction on March 20, 2025, restraining INEC from accepting any petition aimed at initiating a recall process against Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan. However, reports reaching Daily Report Nigeria confirmed that the court has lifted the restraining order on March 22, permitting INEC to receive the petition.


The court ruled that the recall process is constitutionally valid as electorates have the right to exercise their fundamental human rights when necessary.


INEC reported that it has received over 200,000 recall petitions and would initiate the process as soon as possible.


Meanwhile, Senator Natasha is preoccupied with correcting a viral rumour that claimed she apologized for her alleged misconduct in the house.


Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan vehemently refuted the claims that she had apologized to the Senate over her suspension. She stated, “I, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, stand firm in my resolve to never apologise for speaking my truth. The desperation to silence me is palpable, but I will not be intimidated.”


She emphasized her commitment to representing her constituents and upholding principles of justice and transparency. She also reiterated her allegations against Senate President God’swill Akpabio and expressed her determination to seek accountability and justice.
