ADEYANJU COMMENDS PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU ON APPOINTMENT OF NEW INEC CHAIR

I wish to commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for nominating Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan, SAN, as the new Chairman of the Independent

National Electoral Commission (INEC). This appointment reflects the President’s recognition of competence, as Professor Amupitan is the first

indigene from Kogi State’s minority Ijumu community, representing the North-Central region, to be appointed to this office.

Professor Amupitan’s record of scholarship and service, as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and Professor of Law, makes him a deserving choice to lead the

Commission at this time in our democracy. I must admit that I had expected the President to appoint someone from his immediate circle or from Osun

State, but this decision comes as a pleasant surprise.
