The Senate has confirmed the nomination of Chukwuemeka Chukwu as Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) representing Abia State in the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The confirmation of the nominee followed consideration of a report of the screening exercise conducted by the Senate Committee on INEC.

Chairman of the Committee, Senator Kabiru Gaya (APC – Kano South) in his presentation recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari’s request for seeking Chukwu’s confirmation was made pursuant to the provision of section 154(1) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended).

According to him, the Committee found the nominee suitable for the position of REC having made findings that no petition or incriminating reports were received against him.

“Having studied the nominee’s curriculum vitae and other relevant documents in addition to exhaustive interaction and deliberations, the committee members were unanimously satisfied with the nominee considering his wealth of experiences, exposure, performances, qualifications, competence and integrity as required by the Constitution, and found him suitable for appointment as Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC),” Gaya said.

He added that the nominee was not affiliated to any political party or participated in any political rally or campaign.
