Dino Melaye's Lawyer Expected to Lead INEC as New Chairman

President Bola Tinubu is expected to nominate Joash Amupitan, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, as the new chairman of INEC following Mahmood Yakubu's imminent departure. Amupitan, a legal scholar with extensive experience, is set to succeed Yakubu as the head of the Independent National Electoral Commission.

Tinubu reportedly convened a meeting to finalize Amupitan's appointment, signaling a significant change in INEC's leadership. Amupitan's background in law and academia, along with his ties to Senator Dino Melaye, adds a layer of interest to his potential role as the new chairman of INEC.
