How Divine Assurance Led Amupitan to Accept INEC Chairmanship
Prof. Joash Amupitan said he accepted the INEC chairmanship only after receiving a clear divine message: “Fear not; do not be dismayed. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you.” He added that this conviction has sustained his leadership through every electoral challenge. He urged Nigerians to pray for the commission and for a successful 2027 election, expressing confidence that no storm is beyond God’s power to calm. Reflecting on public service, he warned against taking roles without purpose. “If God does not send you somewhere, do not go there,” he said. Appointed by President Tinubu in October 2025, Amupitan’s remarks come amid debates over electoral integrity and his impartiality ahead of the next polls.
