MURIC Declares INEC Chairman Amupitan Persona Non Grata

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has officially declared Professor Joash Amupitan, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), persona non grata. This declaration follows a highly critical 80-page legal brief submitted to the United States, which accuses Nigeria of being involved in controversial and volatile issues, particularly concerning allegations of Christian genocide.

The organization expressed disappointment with the Federal Government for ignoring calls to remove Amupitan, citing a lack of sensitivity towards the concerns of the Nigerian Muslim community. They argue that Amupitan's continued leadership poses a significant threat to Muslim voters and could lead to massive disenfranchisement.

The brief also highlights Amupitan's perceived failure to address serious allegations against him and the detrimental impact of his role on religious harmony in Nigeria. The organization demands his resignation, stating that his presence in office is a burden and a potential danger to the electoral process.
