A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) under the leadership of Tanimu Turaki has accused the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Joash Amupitan, of partisanship, urging him to resign from office.
CityNews reports that the faction said the alleged bias of the electoral umpire could undermine the credibility of the 2027 general elections.
The National Publicity Secretary of the faction, Comrade Ini Ememobong, made the allegation in an interview with Daily Trust, insisting that the INEC chairman had failed to demonstrate neutrality.
According to him, Amupitan’s conduct had raised concerns about the commission’s ability to conduct free and fair elections.
“The INEC chairman has been very unpretentious in his partisanship. We have said so severally and can reiterate same,” Ememobong said.
He warned that the alleged partisanship had become a major obstacle to credible elections.
