The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has raised concerns over President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's appointment of Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan, SAN, as the new Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
HURIWA alleges that the move is
politically motivated and aimed at influencing the 2027 general elections.
The appointment of Prof. Amupitan, a senior law scholar from Kogi State, signalled an attempt by the President to consolidate control over the nation's electoral process.
