“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,” he stated.
Adeyanju described the appointment as a pleasant surprise, noting that many Nigerians had expected Tinubu to choose someone from his political base or immediate circle.
“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,” he added.
He further praised Professor Amupitan’s professional pedigree, saying his track record as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and Professor of Law positioned him as a credible reformer capable of strengthening Nigeria’s electoral processes.
“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,” Adeyanju said.
Professor Amupitan, a respected legal scholar and advocate for electoral reforms, hails from Ijumu in Kogi State. His nomination to lead INEC has been widely viewed as a strategic effort to restore public confidence in the Commission, particularly as Nigeria prepares for future off-cycle and general elections.
