Nigerian Senate to Screen INEC Chair Nominee Amidst Political Support

The Nigerian Senate is set to screen Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan, the nominee for the INEC Chairmanship position, on Thursday.

The nomination by President Bola Tinubu is expected to attract national interest due to the crucial role of INEC in Nigeria's democratic process. Former Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Henri Seriake Dickson, has pledged support for Amupitan during the screening process.

The ongoing wave of defections in the PDP is also highlighted, with key figures emphasizing the need to preserve Nigeria's democracy amidst party conflicts.
