‎Apetition to recall Hon. Martins Oke, the lawmaker representing Igbo-Etiti/Uzo-Uwani Federal Constituency in Enugu State, has been submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). ‎ ‎The petition, dated March 27, 2025, was addressed to the INEC Chairman and signed by representatives, including Mr. Ugwuagbo Emmanuel Chizoba, Mr. Clinton Ogbonna, Mr. Sabinus Amah, and Mr. Stephen Okenwa. ‎ ‎“This is his 3rd term in the Federal House of Representatives. There’s no popular bill or motion to his name,” the petitioners stated. ‎ ‎“There are no visible constituency projects to his name, and we don’t see or hear him during the NASS sittings. He contributes NOTHING to local, State or national discourse. He isn’t representing us at all.” ‎ ‎The petitioners alleged that Oke was not duly elected by the constituents, claiming he was imposed on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) “against the wishes of the party.” ‎ ‎According to them, “the lawmaker lost the general election by a wide margin, but the Appeal Court declared him winner based on technicalities. We want to take back our mandate that he snatched through the courts.” ‎ ‎They also accused him of failing to engage with his constituents. ‎ ‎“He has never held a town hall meeting to interact with his constituents and remains completely disconnected from the people,” they said. ‎ ‎“We don’t see him at home, we don’t see him on TV, and we still don’t see him on the seat during NASS Sessions. ‎ ‎“He has shown a lack of commitment to the welfare of his constituents, failing to address pressing issues affecting the people of Igbo-Etiti/Uzo-Uwani Federal Constituency,” they added. ‎ ‎The petition stated that at least 50% of registered voters in the constituency had signed in support of the recall, fulfilling the constitutional requirements for the process. ‎ ‎Despite Oke's efforts to provide some form of support, such as distributing fertilizers to farmers and food items to constituents, his constituents remain unimpressed.
