Aisha Yesufu Questions INEC Chairman's Credibility

Aisha Yesufu, a prominent activist, has publicly criticized Joash Amupitan, the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), asserting that he cannot be trusted to oversee credible elections. This statement follows INEC's recent clarification regarding allegations of a fake social media account purportedly linked to Amupitan.

Yesufu raised concerns about the integrity of INEC, suggesting that Amupitan's involvement could jeopardize the credibility of future elections. She made these remarks in a post on Tuesday, emphasizing that Amupitan's denial of the allegations is insufficient given the circumstances.

INEC had previously released a statement on Monday, detailing a forensic investigation that found no connection between Amupitan and the viral posts attributed to him. The commission is working with cybersecurity experts to address the situation and maintain its independence amidst ongoing public debate about its credibility.
