The senate has rejected the nomination of Lauretta Onochie, presidential aide, as a commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The upper legislative chamber rejected her appointment after Kabiru Gaya, chairman of the INEC committee, presented a report in plenary.

Onochie was nominated for the job by President Muhammadu Buhari in October 2020.

Her nomination sparked outrage over concerns that she is a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), but the presidential aide said she resigned her hip of the ruling party in 2019.

TheCable found Onochie’s claim to be false.

There have been demonstrations against Onochie’s nomination by different civil society organisations.

While presenting the report on Thursday, Gaya said Onochie was disqualified on federal character principles, adding that there is currently a serving commissioner from Delta state, where Onochie hails from.

After furthering soiling her name, I hope the old woman can return to the beer parlour where she belongs.

She'll do better as a commissioner there.

That is what I want to hear

This is the best news I've heard all week. Let God continue to scatter their satanic plans to rule Nigeria forever

Good for the Traitor and Betrayal Onochie Sabo

She has finally been disgraced.

Very good!!

She can go back being Buhari’s political side chick.


Useless woman

Kudos to the Senate for allowing common sense to prevail over sentiments and politics.
It would have been very stupid and the height of impunity for the Lawan led senate to accept her.

Case closed


This Buhari & Senate mumu sha, she was not rejected based on her partisanship but because there is no vacancy in her state quota.



These politicians are taking Nigerians for granted

Heay yeaH!

So she lied

Very good one,Buhari can make her his second wife I don't care.

Staged to give the Rubber Stamp Senate some credibility.

let her go back to her olohoe business

Good development. she should go back to her palm wine t.


Imagine the Impunity of this istration!

Good

Buhari trying to act like he really love the Igbo people
He knew she will be rejected !

Why don't you Offer her other positions where she will not be rejected like the Ministerial portfolio

Nice script to display fake Nationalism

One good MOVE from the Rubber Stamp Assembly

She should return to servicing the Daura President in the oza room

These fools use their head for once.

Noted

What difference?

good one. first time the rubber stamp guys didn't let us down.

all apc political misfits, bmc online warriors and we south south crew will be in serious pains today.

For the first time, the over bloated goat Lawan acted like a human

This is the greatest achievement for the rubber stamp people..... At least, they used their senses this time.

Someone that bias should never have a business in INEC. You can't tell us you changed your ways within 1 to 2 years and getting nominated by Mr integrity.

Why was she ever considered sef?

Dey just like to make people AnGrY unnecessarily.

Buhari knows you can't fly, he just nominated you to test waters

Ghen ghen...e bi things

For the first time since inauguration, the rubber stamp senate used her senses. The drunk woman thought she was wise trying to deny the undeniable forgetting internet doesn't forget... she should go and contest for councilorship post in her ward under her beloved APC.

Mad oooooh

It was a very slippery test for "Rubber" Lawan
The 9th Senate has been ridiculed.
This alone won't change the perception of the senate been a Rubber stamp congress
