CAC disowns group seeking Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s recall

The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has disclaimed the Kogi Central Political Frontier, a group that petitioned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recall Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

The CAC stated that the group is not registered with the commission and does not exist in its records.

The controversy began when the Kogi Central Political Frontier submitted a petition to INEC on March 25, claiming that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan had failed to adequately represent her constituents and had not engaged with them.

However, the CAC’s declaration has cast doubt on the legitimacy of the group behind the recall effort.

The CAC Registrar-General, Mainunat Hamu Modi, clarified that the commission does not register political bodies or pressure groups, invalidating the group’s claim of being a duly recognized entity.

The statement read: “Kindly be informed that the exact name, Kogi Central Political Frontier, is not available on record as a registered entity with the Commission.”

This development raises questions about the credibility of the recall petition, as it was initiated by an unregistered entity.

The implications of the CAC’s declaration are likely to impact any further actions taken by INEC regarding the recall process.

As the controversy unfolds, attention is focused on INEC and other relevant authorities to determine the next course of action concerning the recall bid against Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan.
