INEC Receives Petition Seeking Natasha Akpoti's Recall by Oluboh(op): 11:05am On Mar 24, 2025
BREAKING: INEC Receives Constituents Petition Seeking For Natasha’s Recall From The Senate

The petition was submitted with over 250k+ signatures of constituents out of the 480k+ registered voters. The required percentage is 50% + 1.

Watch video below.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has received the petition seeking the recall process of suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan (Kogi Central).

The petition was submitted on Monday and received by the commission’s secretary, Rose Oriaran-Anthony.

The petition reads: “CONSTITUENTS’ PETITION FOR THE RECALL OF SENATOR NATASHA AKPOTI-UDUAGHAN ON GROUNDS OF LOSS OF CONFIDENCE

“Dear Sir,


1. We, the undersigned, being duly registered voters of the Kogi Central Senatorial District, hereby invoke our rights under the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to formally demand the recall of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan from the Nigerian Senate.

2. In particular, this petition for the recall of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan is brought pursuant to Section 69 of the 1999 Constitution of The Federal Republic of Nigeria (As Amended), as well as INEC’S Regulations and Guidelines for Recall Petitions.

3. Kindly recall that Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan emerged as our Senator by verdict of the Court of Appeal, Abuja, on Tuesday, October 31, 2023 which affirmed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate as winner of the February 25, 2023 Kogi Central Senatorial election.

4. This petition arises from our loss of confidence in the Senator on grounds of gross misconduct, abuse of office, evasion of due process and a pattern of deceitful behaviour that has not only embarrassed the people of Kogi Central constituency but has also tarnished the integrity of the Nigerian Senate and our nation’s democratic institutions.

5. By this petition, which we have made sure is signed by more than one-half of the registered voters in Kogi Central, we hereby demand that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) immediately commence the constitutional and procedural process of recall to remove Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan from office and declare her seat vacant.”

Are those recalling Natasha going to borrow INEC money to conduct another election in Natasha's constituency? If no, then they should wait for her reelection and vote against her

It's going to succeed.

Anything can happen in a Tinubu government.

Impunity and lawlessness has increased in the last 2 years....

Yet they pretend like Democrats...

No wonder Jonathan said that it is easier to wake up a sleeping man than a man who is pretending to be asleep!

This is petition. A referendum will be conducted by INEC.

The submission is part of requirement for the recall process.

More processes to follow

Was the recall signed through BVAS?
How do you confirm that those are the registered voters? Anyway, once APC set that precedence, RVSG will move on with Amaehule's recall.

INEC should've learn from Dino Melaye own, were 90% of the signatures were fake. I just see it has wasting millions of Naira printing and mobilizing official for the main process

Wow I didn’t think this was achievable. The signatures need to be verified but wow!

Ok I just realized they did similar with Dino but the signatures were fake.

I still believe it is almost impossible to get 50% of signatures because the voters register in itself is full of people who have died, moved away etc.

Dead on arrival

Victory for Natasha Akpoti and shame to the simp and waist-obsessed Akpabio and the lying machines parading theirselves as senators
Re: INEC Receives Petition Seeking Natasha Akpoti's Recall by Asonaijaaso: 1:56pm On Mar 24, 2025
The optics of this whole affair are not just bad—they’re damning.
It doesn’t exonerate Akpabio, it implicates him further.

Let’s be clear:
$5,000 was allegedly distributed to House of Reps members to secure signatures for Fubara’s suspension. That’s not just corruption—it’s organized legislative sabotage.


And yet, the EFCC constantly lectures ordinary Nigerians not to transact in USD.
But somehow, every time the presidency wants to “influence” the National Assembly,
it’s not with Naira… it’s with cold, hard US Dollars.


So which economy are we really running here?
The Naira economy for the poor.
The Dollar economy for the powerful.

It begs the question:
Is the Legislative arm of government now a Trade-Free Zone?
Where foreign currency flows like water and no rules apply?


If citizens are expected to transact in Naira, why is the leadership using USD as its preferred bribe tender?
This dual standard exposes the real crisis:
The erosion of monetary integrity at the highest levels of power.

Re: INEC Receives Petition Seeking Natasha Akpoti's Recall by KenOne:
You see why when Nigerians move abroad and become a citizen of that country they start bashing Nigeria and saying negative things about Nigeria as a country. See what is happening in Rivers state and Natasha Akpoti.

Tinubu, Wike, Akpabio, Gbajabiamila, Remi Tinubu, Seyi Tinubu, all Yoruba's in government, and all APC members see what they're doing to Nigeria.

I have noticed one thing most Yorubas speak against nepotism, not abiding to rule of law when it's against them. But support the same when they're the ones committing it and becomes beneficiary of it. Watch how they'll start speaking evil against Wike and Akpabio tomorrow they're supporting today because they're doing their bidding, before the 2023 election El Rufai was their most beautiful bride to get Northern votes when Tinubu went to Chatham house in London he went with El Rufai so that El Rufai will answer some economic questions thrown at him Tinubu

Let me see anyone that will insult Kemi Badenoch again. Tomorrow if Natasha Akpoti becomes a citizen of any Western country and start saying things like Nigeria from the people, the executive, Legislature and Judiciary are corrupt like what Kemi Badenoch use to say.

Nigerians have never witnessed this kind of hunger, inflation, evil regime in its history, but occupy Nigerians are saying Tinubu is the best president, now no space to occupy again just like during Goodluck Jonathan, all juicy appointments and positions, from security to revenue generating agencies are occupied by Yorubas, you guys should continue max 8 years when you guys start wailing we'll remind you of today.

Nigeria is a funny country with funnier citizens...!

All the Senators that have been messing up all these years, like the intimacy gadget thug of a senator that assaulted a sales girl, yet not once has any attempt been made to recall them.

A woman calls out Senate President for improper conduct and sexual advances, and suddenly Nigerians remember or realize that a Senator can be recalled...!

This is coming after several idiotic rallies were held in support of the Senate president along with other image laundering charades.
