He said the honesty and integrity of Ms. Onochie to serve as INEC official is questionable as she has been very partisan in the last five years.

He said, “Item F, paragraph 14 of the third schedule of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria (as amended) prohibits a person with questionable integrity from serving as a member of INEC

“EVAPWD calls on the Nigerian Senate to reject her nomination to avoid contamination of the successes recorded so far by INEC and protect the election management body from political party influences.”
