In a dramatic turn of events, INEC has declared the petition against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan incompetent and hence the recall move has failed. This is great victory for Senator Natasha Akopti-Uduaghan, even more than it is a total defeat for Senator Akpabio and his team. It is a disgrace to Governor Ododo and Yahaya Bello, whose political weight in Kogi State has been greatly diminished by this development.

This will reverberate in the Senate and probably precipitate the end of Senator Akpabio as the leader of the Senate. He has only a little time to save himself. He should recall Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan immediately and smoothen up the creases in the Senate. Otherwise, he will become a former President of the Senate in no time.

This outcome is also a resounding victory for the movement for women empowerment in Africa, which Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan now personifies.

More to come. This is a developing story.
