The former Governor for Ekiti State Ayodele Fayose has applauded Nigerian Senate for rejecting Lauretta Onochie’s nomination as a commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission.
This comes after the Upper legislative chamber on Tuesday 13th July 2021 stepped down the nomination of Onochie on the basis of upholding of Federal Character Principle.
Reacting to the development in a tweet, Fayose wrote; On rejection of Lauretta Onochie’s nomination as INEC Commissioner, I commend the Senate for listening to Nigerians. This portends great hope for democracy & I hope the NASS can go further by subjecting itself more to what represents the interest of Nigerians. Congrats Nigerians!
