Action Alliance's Udeze Critiques INEC's Amupitan Speech

Kenneth Udeze, the National Chairman of the Action Alliance (AA), publicly criticized Prof Joash Amupitan, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), following Amupitan's world press conference. Udeze described Amupitan's address as "technologically rich but legally bankrupt," arguing that one cannot claim to train judges for pre and post-election matters while simultaneously disobeying their judgments.

Udeze emphasized that despite INEC's logistical preparations, including the acquisition of 57,000 new BVAS and mobilization of vehicles and boats, the failure to comply with a Court of Appeal judgment undermines the credibility of elections. He stated that Amupitan's speech lacked legal grounding, credibility, and neutrality, asserting that elections are fundamentally about law, justice, and neutrality, areas where he believes INEC has failed.
