    President Bola Tinubu has sought the approval of the senate to sack the suspended resident electoral commissioners (RECs) of Abia, Adamawa, and Sokoto states.

    The suspended RECs are Ike Uzochukwu, (Abia), Hudu Yunusa-Ari, (Adamawa), and Nura Ali (Sokoto).

    They were accused of misconduct during the 2023 general election.

    Tinubu’s request was contained in a letter read by Senate President Godswill Akpabio on the floor of upper legislative chamber on Wednesday.

    The president said the RECs were suspended by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) before he assumed office more than one year ago.

    “The senate is invited to note that the three resident electoral commissioners have been suspended for misconduct since March 2022 before the advent of the current administration,” Tinubu’s letter read in part.

    “While I trust that the senate will consider this request expeditiously, please accept distinguished senators and distinguished senate president, the assurances of my highest consideration.”

    The president is expected to ask the red chambers to confirm nominees to fill the vacant offices in the coming days.
