The Chatham House Group, a coalition of young professionals from Kogi State, has commended INEC for its impartiality and commitment to constitutional principles following the dismissal of a petition to recall Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

In a statement signed by its convener, Abdulrahman Zulqarnien Ozovehe, the group praised INEC’s decision as a “victory for democracy” and a reflection of the Commission’s adherence to Section 69(a) of the 1999 Constitution.

The group warned against destabilizing efforts by unnamed actors pushing for a renewed recall process and urged stakeholders to uphold democratic values.

They also cited Akpoti-Uduaghan’s recent warm reception in her constituency as evidence of continued public support and called for a focus on constructive engagement rather than divisive politics.
