The suspended RECs are Ike Uzochukwu, (Abia), Hudu Yunusa-Ari, (Adamawa), and Nura Ali (Sokoto).

They were accused of misconduct during the 2023 general election.
The president said the RECs were suspended by INEC before he assumed office more than one year ago.

“The senate is invited to note that the three resident electoral commissioners have been suspended for misconduct since March 2022 before the advent of the current administration,” Tinubu’s letter read in part.

The president is expected to ask the red chambers to confirm nominees to fill the vacant offices in the coming days.
