Fact Check: Did Lauretta Onochie stop being an APC Member In 2019? by aminulive(op): 11:55am On Jul 09, 2021

The Senate Committee on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Thursday screened Lauretta Onochie, a personal assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari in consideration of her appointment as a commissioner of INEC.

The screening was done despite public outcry that she’s a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and would be partisan.

Responding to the criticisms that trailed her nomination and screening, Ms Onochie told the Senate that she resigned as a member of the ruling APC and also left active politics since the second election in 2019 that brought Mr Buhari into office.

“Since the 2019 elections, I have removed myself from active politics and even in the ongoing APC membership drive, I didn’t register and currently, I am not a member of any political party,” she said.

POLITICS NIGERIA, however, did a check on the verified twitter timeline of Ms Onochie and our findings revealed that she spoke about her ties with the party on June 24, 2020.

“There is DEFINITELY an APC e-NEC meeting TOMORROW. We are going through a growth process. Thank you everyone,” she posted on Twitter.

This newspaper also obtained an affidavit she swore to at the FCT High Court, Abuja and she stated in a paragraph that she is a member of the APC and was an active participant in a United Kingdom election where she also contested.

“I am also a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress and a volunteer at Buhari Support Organization,” part of the affidavit read.

Verdict

Based on available information, it is unarguable that Ms Onochie's statement to the Senate on Thursday that she left active politics since 2019 is 'False'

See how she has indicted herself now. Lies has a beginning and end.Well, that is the unique thing about liars.They always tell so much lies that they don't know when they tell multiple unintelligent lies just to cover a lie.

Of course as a morally depraved fella, she shamelessly lied as is the pathologic lying nature of anyone under the cursed party.No shame even when lying.

The fat "we will approve it" buffon overseeing the NASS have disgraced himself again.Hope the ICPC, DSS, NPF, etc get this palmy guzzler arrested and prosecuted for lying under oath while insulting the sensibility of Nigerians?

Lies is richly engrained in their DNA.This is why they have team of chronic irredeemable liars like Lai Mohammed, Garba Shehu, Femi Adeshina, etc lying on their behalf.SMH!

Kicking against her nomination is going against the directive and will of the presidency. She was nominated by the president and his will must be respected. You don't desecrate his office for political clout chasing, else you set a bad precedent

It's shameful. Buhari has better options but has chosen to compromise the entire institutions of the country. From lopsided appointments in favour of his kinsmen to questionable nominations. I have seen it all, I give up!!

Have sense, this is a Democratic government, buhari is not a god to be worshiped, her position as an Inec commissioner cannot be solely decided by the president, it needs the approval of the HOR and senate, and the candidate cannot be affiliated with a political party so as not to be seen as biased, Lauretta is a die hard ogogoro drinking APC stooge who has made it very clear she can lie and has been promoting APC when the need arises, she can also spread her legs and die for Buhari if need be, therefore she is not fit for that position.

Frankly its irrelevant if she left the party or not. The fact that she is a well known loyalist of the president who is still working for him as an aide is sufficient to render it sheer madness that the question of her appointment as an INEC Commissioner can even be entertained. That only shows you with what audacity the President practices his croniyism in this country. Its a collective insult to all of us, but one we richly deserve.
