Controversial Ms Lauretta Onochie’s dream of landing the plum job of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Commissioner has been killed on Tuesday by the Senate with an overwhelming “NO’ votes.
The Senate rejected the presidential aide’s nomination of as a National Commissioner after series of petitions against her nomination.
The Senate also stepped down the nomination of Professor Sani Mohammad Adam (North Central) to allow for further legislative action.
This followed the consideration of the report of Senate Committee on INEC, presented by the Chairman of the Committee, Senator Kabiru Gaya.
Gaya said the Committee rejected the nomination of Onochie because there is already a National Commissioner of INEC, Mrs May Agbamuche, representing Delta State in the Commission.
