Nigerians Demand Resignation of INEC Chair Amupitan Over Alleged Bias

As preparations for the 2027 elections intensify, Professor Joash Amupitan faces growing calls to resign as INEC chair. His critics allege a pro-APC bias after a tweet linked to him surfaced. I do not pity him, but this controversy highlights how fraught public office can be. Attempts to paint the tweet as parody have failed amid clear digital footprints. Nigerians worry that an electoral umpire perceived as partisan could undermine trust in the vote. The uproar has also sparked debate over the presidential power to appoint the INEC boss. If these trust issues persist, the 2027 polls could face fresh legal challenges and further erode confidence in the process.
