In a short statement on Thursday, the electoral commission said the petition to recall Senator Natasha did not meet constitutional requirements.

“The petition for the recall of the Senator representing the Kogi Central Senatorial District has not met the requirement of Section 69(a) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended),” INEC wrote on its X handle.

In an updated statement, INEC cited Section 69(a) of the Constitution, which stipulates that a petition to recall a senator needs the signatures of more than one-half of the registered voters in the lawmaker’s constituency.

“The total number of registered voters in the Kogi Central Senatorial District is 474,554. More than one-half of this figure (i.e. 50%+1) is 237,277+1, which is at least 237,278 voters,” the statement issued by INEC’s National Commissioner and Chairman, Information & Voter Education Committee Sam Olumekun read in part.

“Across the 902 Polling Units in 57 Registration Areas and five Local Government Areas that make up the Senatorial District, the Commission ascertained 208,132 signatures/thumbprints from the submission made by the petitioners.”

When leaders careless of their people's security and safety such are not leaders but rulers.
A leader must see himself as a servant and should always feel his people's pains.
The governor of Benue state seems to be lacking in this afformentioned therefore he's not a leader but a ruler until he act like one.
Governor we want to see proactive actions and not words.
What are you efforts to stop the ongoing massacre?Have you met the president for help?if yes what's his response to your request?If no what's your next line of action Sir?
I love you but I love Benue people and the defenseless more.
