• ACF, Ohanaeze, MBF, PANDEF, PDP, CSOs hail decision Nseobong Okon-Ekong in Lagos, Deji Elumoye, Chuks Okocha in Abuja, Chris Isiguzo in Enugu, John Shiklam in Kaduna and Seriki Adinoyi in Jos The Senate yesterday caved in to pressure from the public as it rejected the nomination of a presidential aide, Ms. Lauretta Onochie, as national commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Its decision drew plaudit from the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Middle Belt Forum (MBF), Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and civil society organisations. A cross-section of Nigerians had in the last few weeks opposed the nomination of Onochie on the basis that she is a card-carrying member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in her home state, Delta and, therefore, called on the Senate to reject her nomination.
