President Bola Tinubu has asked the Senate for approval to sack the suspended Residents Electoral Commissioners, REC, for Sokoto, Adamawa, and Abia states.
President Tinubu’s request was contained in a letter he addressed to the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio.

The affected Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, RECs are Ike Uzochukwu (Abia), Hudu Yunusa-Ari (Adamawa), and Nura Ali (Sokoto). They were accused of misconduct during the 2023 general election.

In the letter, read by Senator Akpabio during a plenary session on Wednesday, President Tinubu explained that the RECs were suspended by INEC before he assumed office.

The letter read: “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.

“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.”

Budget
Meanwhile, President Tinubu also wrote the Senate, requesting an increase in the 2025 budget from N49.7 trillion to N54.2 trillion.
