EVAPWDS condemns nomination of Ms. Lauretta Onoiche as INEC commissioner

TQM report,

The Campaign for Equal Voting Access for persons with disabilities (EVAPWD) is worried over the nomination of Ms. Lauretta Onochie, a foot soldier and senior sympathizer of the ruling APC, and Senior Special Assistant to the President on Social Media as National Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) representing the South-South.

In a press release signed by the Chairman of the group, Mr. David Anyaele, they stated that the honesty and integrity of Ms. Onochie to serve as INEC official is questionable as she has been very partisan in the last 5 years. Hence, 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 called on the Nigeria 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.
