INEC: Fayose, others commend Senate on Onochie's rejection - Punch Newspapers

Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose has commended the Senate for rejecting the nomination of Lauretta Onochie as a National Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission.

“I commend the Senate for dropping Lauretta Onochie. I did not want to say anything while the process was ongoing, but by nominating such an odious and pedestrian person, Buhari showed that even the little tolerance we have for him is wasted. The man has no honour,” said former Presidential aide, Reno Omokri.

Another tweep, @FS_Yusuf_, tweeted, “Rejection of Lauretta Onochie for INEC commissioner position, is a win for our democracy. But in the first place, she shouldn’t have been nominated but it’s Buhari na. Anything undemocratic goes.” “Shameless and partisan Lauretta Onochie rejected by the Senate. All hope is not lost after all. Our shouting is always important,” @adeyanjudeji said.

@chiomachuka tweeted, “So the Senate has rejected the nomination of Lauretta Onochie for appointment as National Commissioner for INEC. A big well done to citizens for speaking up against what would have been an aberration. Let us never forget however, that this nomination was made in the first place.”
