ADC Calls for INEC Chairman Amupitan's Resignation

The African Democratic Congress (ADC), under the leadership of interim national chairman David Mark, has called for the resignation of Joash Amupitan, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). During a press conference held in Abuja, Mark urged President Bola Tinubu to remove Amupitan, alleging that he lacks the capacity to conduct elections in Nigeria.

In response, Temitop Ajayi, a Senior Special Assistant to President Tinubu, defended Amupitan, describing him as a highly accomplished professional with a peak academic and legal career. Ajayi emphasized that Amupitan's credentials as a law professor and senior advocate of Nigeria affirm his capability in his role.

He criticized the ADC's leadership, suggesting that their internal crises are the source of their grievances against Amupitan. The exchange highlights ongoing tensions regarding electoral management in Nigeria.
