Lawmaker representing Igboetiti/Uzo Uwani Constituency in the House of Representatives, Dr. Martins Oke, has dismissed a recall petition against him as an “academic exercise”, describing the allegations leveled against him as false and misleading.
Four constituents—Chizoba Ugwuagbo, Clinton Ogbonna, Amah Sabinus, and Onyekachi Okenwa Stephen—had petitioned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), citing non-performance, lack of constituency engagement, incompetence, and negligence as reasons for their action.
Reacting in a statement by his media aide, Solomon Gwiyi, Dr. Oke dismissed the claims, labeling them “a tissue of lies, inaccurate reports, and deliberate misinformation.”
