‘INEC CHAIR NOMINEE AMUPITAN IS SQUARE PEG IN SQUARE HOLE,' SAYS GADZAMA


NEWS RELEASE

* URGES SENATE TO CONFIRM HIS APPOINTMENT

The appointment of Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan, SAN, as Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is a case of a square peg in a square hole. He is a leader whose distinguished qualities, profound knowledge, and proven skills align perfectly with the demanding mandate of this critical office.

Professor Amupitan is an astute professional and a man of unwavering integrity. His laudable virtues of neutrality and an apolitical disposition are precisely what our electoral system requires to bolster public confidence and ensure impartiality.

His career is a testament to exemplary leadership, marked by courage and a principled dedication to duty. This progressive journey has been built on a foundation of diligence, persistence, and an uncompromising commitment to excellence — qualities he has demonstrated in numerous leadership roles.

Having worked closely with him on several complex, non-partisan litigations, I, Chief Joe-Kyari Gadzama SAN, can personally attest to his first-class character and formidable legal acumen. It is these commendable attributes that distinguish him as a patriotic leader, exceptionally well-suited to guide INEC with fairness and strength.

I therefore urge the distinguished members of the Senate to clear this outstanding nominee. Our collective prayer and hope is that Professor Amupitan will sustain these sterling qualities throughout his tenure at INEC and beyond, steering the commission towards a future of even greater credibility and public trust.
