LunagisthubBreaking News: Kogi Constituents Seek Senator Natasha’s Recall with 250,000 Signatures
In a dramatic turn of events, a group of constituents from Kogi Central has submitted a petition to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) seeking the recall of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. The petition, which was submitted on Monday, March 24, 2025, allegedly carries the signatures of over 250,000 registered voters from the senatorial district ¹.
According to a resident who participated in submitting the petition, the recall effort is driven by concerned Kogi youths and women who feel that Senator Natasha is no longer representing their interests. The resident emphasized that the petition is not being bankrolled by any external forces, but rather is a genuine effort by the constituents to take control of their representation ¹.
The petitioners claim that they have met the requirements set by INEC for a recall petition, which includes gathering signatures from more than 50% of registered voters in the senatorial district. If verified, this would pave the way for a referendum to determine whether Senator Natasha should be recalled
It’s worth noting that Senator Natasha is currently suspended from the Senate for six months due to allegations of gross misconduct. The suspension has sparked controversy, with some arguing that it is politically motivated
As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen whether the recall petition will be successful and what implications this will have for Senator Natasha’s future in the Senate. One thing is certain, however: the people of Kogi Central are making their voices heard and demanding better representation.
