According to him, “In 2016, we confirmed a national commissioner from Delta state, Mrs. May Agbamuche, and confirming Onochie from the same Delta will violate the federal character.”
The Senate went ahead to confirm Muhammad Kallah, Kunle Ajayi, Saidu Ahmed, Baba Bila, and Abdullahi Zuru as INEC commissioners.
