ABUJA – The Senate, on Tuesday, rejected the confirmation of Lauretta Onochie as a National Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission.
Chairman of the Committee, Kabiru Gaya, in his report, said Onochie did not satisfy the provisions of the Federal Character Principles.
The Senate at the committee of the whole subsequently voted against her nomination.
Onochie has been one of President Muhammadu Buhari’s media aides and her nomination for the INEC position has drawn heated debates in the country with many interest groups advising the Senate to reject her nomination.
