‘Victory Is Sure’ Tweet Resurfaces: Amupitan Locks and Renames X Account Amid Resignation Demands
A 2023 post from an X account linked to INEC chairman Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan saying “Victory is sure” under an APC figure’s tweet has reignited a storm of controversy. Within hours of the screenshot going viral, the handle was changed to @Sundayvibe00, locked to protect its content and relabelled as a parody account, while earlier posts were deleted. Critics argue these swift actions deepen doubts over Amupitan’s neutrality just months before the 2027 election. The hashtag #AmupitanMustGo has trended as Nigerians across political lines demand his resignation and question whether he can credibly oversee a fair poll. The incident raises urgent questions about INEC’s independence. Despite Amupitan’s public insistence on non-partisanship, the resurfaced tweet and rapid account overhaul have eroded public confidence, driving fresh calls for oversight from opposition parties, civil society and the National Assembly.
