The appointment of Ms Onochie as INEC REC by President Muhammadu Buhari in October last year, drew outrage from some Nigerians.

The Senate is set to commence screening of presidential aide, Lauretta Onochie, who was appointed as a commissioner for the Independent National Electoral Commission .

The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, on Wednesday, directed the Senate Committee on INEC to commence screening. Ms Onochie was appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari in October 2020 as an INEC resident electoral commissioner to represent Delta State.announced the appointment and sought the lawmakers’ confirmation.

Although Ms Onochie was appointed alongside three other nominees, her appointment generated outrage, with some Nigerians describing it as unconstitutional. Both individuals and civic groups have since called on the president to withdraw the nomination on grounds that Ms Onochie is partisan and so it would be undemocratic for her to be appointed into such an office.PREMIUM TIMES
