Nigerians React to Approval of New INEC Chairman by Council of State

The Council of State has unanimously approved the nomination of Professor Joash Amupitan as the new Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), a position previously held by Bola Tinubu's nominee. The announcement has triggered varied reactions among Nigerians, with some welcoming the appointment while others fault it.

Notably, concerns have been raised about the fairness of the selection process, especially in the Southwest region. Additionally, President Buhari's refusal to sign two bills forwarded by the Senate, including one related to the establishment of the Nigerian Institute of Transport, has also been highlighted.
