President Bola Tinubu has charged the new Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Chairman, Joash Amupitan to protect the integrity of Nigeria’s electoral system.
Tinubu gave the charge during the swearing in of Amupitan as the substantive INEC Chairman at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
He urged the new INEC Chairman to safeguard the integrity of Nigeria elections and electoral system.
The president said, “For our democracy to flourish, the integrity of our electoral system must be beyond reproach.
“No electoral process is flawless; it is essential to continue strengthening the electoral institutions.
“I therefore charge you to protect the integrity of our elections and electoral system.”
Amupitan took over the reigns of INEC’s leadership following the tenure expiration of former Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu.
