Arewa youths hail Tinubu, Senate over confirmation of Amupitan as INEC chairman

The Amalgamated Arewa Youths Group has commended President Bola Tinubu for the nomination and subsequent confirmation of Joash Amupitan as the new Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission.
In a statement on Monday, the group said, “The nomination of Prof Amupitan demonstrates the president’s resolve to appoint individuals of proven integrity and competence to lead critical national institutions.”
The group also lauded the National Council of State for approving the nomination, saying that the endorsement further validated the credibility of the selection process.
AAYG described Mr Amupitan as “a man of towering intellect, impeccable virtue, and a beacon of integrity”, expressing confidence in his ability to lead INEC with transparency and uphold the sanctity of Nigeria’s electoral system.
The group also praised the Senate for confirming the nomination “without resistance or partisan bottlenecks”.
“Our lawmakers have acted in line with the will of the people, and we commend their responsiveness to the voice of their constituents,” it stated.
AAYG further called on Nigerians, regardless of political or regional affiliations, to support the newly confirmed INEC Chairman in his efforts to reform and strengthen the electoral process.
“We strongly believe Prof. Amiputan will be a non-partisan arbiter who can reduce post-election litigations and restore full public trust in our elections,” the group added. “We urge you to discharge your duties with the fear of God, fairness to all, and full allegiance to the Constitution. The future of our democracy rests heavily on your leadership.”
