Activist Aisha Yesufu has added her voice to calls for the removal of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Joash Amupitan.
She argued that Amupitan should step down from his position, citing what she described as partisan conduct.
Yesufu, a member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), made her position known in a post shared on X. She stressed that the opposition party is serious about its mission and should not be taken lightly.
In her post, she wrote: “I love how active Nigerians have become! #ActiveCitizens
“I always focus on the little wins. They snowball into the big wins.
“Some years ago, Amupitan would have gotten away with what he tried to do.
“At this stage it becomes mandatory that #AmupitanMustGo. My party is not here to play!
“The most painful part of all of this for me is that I will not be in the country for my FIRST party convention.
“I have accepted months ago to be at a workshop in Brazil. ADC Arise.
Her comments come amid growing criticism from different quarters over the leadership of the electoral body.
The development reflects increasing political tension as opposition figures continue to question the neutrality of the commission ahead of future elections.
