Senate Screens Lauretta Onochie, Five Others As INEC Commissioners by fergie001(mod): 12:02pm On Jun 09, 2021

The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, on Wednesday, asked the Committee on the Independent National Electoral Commission to screen for confirmation, the appointments of Ms. Lauretta Onochie, and five others as INEC commissioners.

The development came eight months after the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), sent the list of the nominees to the Senate for screening.

It was learnt that protests among the Peoples Democratic Party members in the red chamber halted the process of the screening as the opposition federal lawmakers were said to have accused Onochie, who is presently a presidential spokesperson, of unnecessarily casting aspersions on their party.

They also faulted the idea of making Onochie, a card-carrying member of the All Progressives Congress as an INEC Commissioner to represent Delta State on the board of the commission.

Other names on the list are, Prof. Muhammad Kallah (Katsina); Prof. Kunle Ajayi (Ekiti); Saidu Ahmad (Jigawa); Prof Sani Adam (North- Central); and Dr Baba Bila (North-East).

The Senate INEC panel, which has Senator Kabiru Gaya as Chairman, has four weeks to conclude the screening and report back to the red chamber at plenary.

When every step leaders take is unreasonable, the inevitable would follow.

Lauretta Onochie is unfit to serve as an INEC commissioner!
Re: Senate Screens Lauretta Onochie, Five Others As INEC Commissioners by tamonokare:
If we must get it right as a country, this is one of the things we must change. We must stop appointing non INEC staff to head or occupy sensitive positions in INEC just as it is in NNPC, Police etc. The chairman, national commissioners and resident commissioners of INEC should be from the rank and file of INEC and not political party people.
