Members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have stormed the Senate on Wednesday, 30th June 2021 to protest against the nomination of Lauretta Onochie’s appointment as a National Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to represent Delta State.
Recall that TheNewsBeam reported that President Muhammadu Buhari sometimes in November, 2020 asked the Senate to confirm the appointment of Lauretta, who is the Special Assistant to the President on Social Media as an INEC official.
However, the process was halted because of protests among the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members in the red chamber accusing Onochie of unnecessarily casting aspersions on their party.
They also faulted the idea of making Onochie, a card-carrying member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as an INEC Commissioner to represent Delta State on the board of the commission.
