Embattled Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has claimed that those who recently petitioned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for her recall are members of the All-Progressives Congress (APC.
The suspended lawmaker, who was elected under the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP, is being recalled by her constituents.
INEC recently acknowledged the receipt of the petition but pointed out some missing information about the petitioners.
In a subsequent statement, the electoral umpire said the missing information which includes addresses and phone numbers of the petitioners have been received.
Addressing a mammoth crowd, who gave her a rousing welcome during her homecoming on Tuesday, the lawmaker accused INEC of aiding and guiding the petitioners to enable them to perfect their “illicit acts”.
She said, “From my perspective, what I see INEC doing is aiding and guiding petitioners on how to perfect their illicit acts.
“The first time the petition was submitted, they didn’t have addresses, phone numbers and all of that, but INEC is out to guide them on how to submit information that will perfect the petition.
“The petitioners, who were from the other party, the APC, now submitted a letterhead with an address that does not exist.”
