INEC Chairman Amupitan Faces Criticism Over APC Meeting

Social media activist VeryDarkMan has criticized Professor Joash Amupitan, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), for meeting Tunde Doherty, the United Kingdom chapter chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), during an official engagement abroad. This criticism arose amid reports that Amupitan wore an APC-branded cap during his visit to the UK.

However, VeryDarkMan clarified that he watched the footage and did not see Amupitan wearing the cap, stating that it was actually Doherty who appeared in the video with the APC-branded headwear. Despite this clarification, VeryDarkMan raised concerns about the appropriateness of the INEC chairman meeting with a ruling party chieftain while on official duty, arguing that such interactions could undermine the perceived neutrality of the electoral commission.

He emphasized that the public's concerns were valid and that the issue extended beyond the cap to the integrity of the electoral body.
