The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has called on the Nigerian Senate to immediately reject the nomination of Lauretta Onochie as national commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), saying her nomination is a slap on the nation’s democracy.
The opposition party urged the Ahmed Lawan-Senate to get ready for a civil action, in the event of failing to reject the nomination.

Addressing newsmen at the party’s secretariat, Wednesday, the national publicity secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan, tasked the Senate Committee Chairman on INEC, Kabiru Gaya, to stop further work on Onochie’s nomination, saying the partisan disposition of the nominee makes her membership of INEC untenable.
Africa Daily News, New York had earlier reported that President Muhammadu Buhari had forwarded the Onochie’s name to the national assembly to confirm her as a commissioner of the electoral body.
It is also pertinent to note that Onochie is the special assistant to the President on Social Media.
