Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, praised INEC on Thursday for dismissing the recall effort against her, stating that the electoral body upheld constitutional justice and resisted pressure from “undemocratic elements” in Kogi and the Senate.
This statement followed INEC’s announcement that the recall petition did not meet constitutional requirements.
In a press release from her media team, Akpoti-Uduaghan thanked INEC for rejecting what she described as a “fake process” initiated by sponsored groups.

She also used the opportunity to criticize former Governor Yahaya Bello and others for their failed attempt to intimidate her.
She said, “God has put to shame anti-democratic forces plotting my recall from the Senate, including one of the most wanted persons by the EFCC, former governor Yahaya Bello. All along, I did not exercise any fear because I have a God that never fails, and I have people on my side.
“The decision to reject the recall process is a justice against injustice. INEC has proven to be truly independent, and history will never forget this justice. I commend the umpire for shaming the shameless agents of darkness and setting the record straight according to the laws of our land.
“To God be the glory, we have defeated them again. This development is another record-breaking against those who prefer coming from the backyard, the manipulators, election riggers, the violent merchants and their allies in Kogi Central and beyond. Bear in mind that your days are numbered in politics. I am out to bring justice to the oppressed and to ensure Nigeria is great again.”.
