INEC Commissioner: I’m no longer APC member, Onochie says

Lauretta Onochie, an aide to President Muhammadu Buhari on Social Media has told the Senate Committee on the Independent National Electoral Commission that she is no longer a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress.

She made the denial on Thursday in Abuja while being screened by the committee on her nomination as a national commissioner for the INEC.

Onochie, meanwhile, admitted that she swore an oath at an Abuja Federal High Court that she was a member of the APC but said that she ceased being a member of the party immediately after the 2019 elections.

She told the Senate committee that a serving INEC National Commissioner from Delta State, Mrs May Agbamuche, is actually representing Cross River on the board of the electoral umpire.
