In a significant political development, Mr. Etekamba Udo Umoren, the former Chief of Staff to Senator Godswill Akpabio, has been appointed as the new Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Delta State. His appointment comes at a time of increased political activity within the state.
According to reports, Mr. Umoren was present at the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM yesterday, overseeing and facilitating the recall process of Senator Natasha H. Akpoti. The senator’s recall has been a highly anticipated and contentious matter in Nigerian politics, with significant attention being given to the procedural and legal steps involved.
The former Chief of Staff’s appointment as REC is seen as a strategic move by Akpabio, who has directed Mr. Umoren to report to INEC on a daily basis until the completion of the recall process. This move further strengthens Akpabio’s influence within the political landscape of the state, particularly in the context of ongoing electoral proceedings.
The appointment of Mr. Umoren has generated significant interest, and many are closely watching the developments surrounding the recall of Senator Akpoti, as it could have substantial political ramifications for Delta State.
Further details on the unfolding events are expected to be released in the coming days as the situation develops.
