Chief Solomon Ojuekaiye lauds President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR on the appointment of Prof. Joash Amupitan as INEC Chairman

With profound respect and heartfelt admiration, I, Chief Solomon Ojuekaiye, wish to sincerely commend His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his visionary leadership and commitment to deepening democratic values through the appointment of Prof. Joash Amupitan as the new Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
This appointment is yet another demonstration of President Tinubu’s unmatched ability to identify men and women of competence, integrity, and proven track record in national service. It underscores his determination to reposition key institutions for excellence, transparency, and accountability hallmarks of a thriving democracy.
Prof. Joash Amupitan is widely respected as a man of character, intellect, and fairness, whose career in academia and public service has inspired many. His appointment is both timely and reassuring, as Nigeria continues its march toward credible, peaceful, and transparent electoral processes.
I have no doubt that under his leadership, INEC will experience renewed vigor, reform-driven focus, and an unshakable commitment to free and fair elections that truly reflect the will of the people. His wealth of experience, deep knowledge of law and governance, and patriotic disposition will surely bring fresh perspectives to electoral administration in Nigeria.
To President Tinubu, this singular act further affirms your resolve to build strong institutions rather than strong individuals. Your wisdom in placing capable hands in sensitive national positions continues to strengthen public confidence in your Renewed Hope agenda.
May God grant you the strength, wisdom, and courage to succeed in this new role.
Once again, I warmly congratulate Prof. Joash Amupitan on this well-deserved honor and commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his visionary leadership and unrelenting commitment to national progress.
– Chief Solomon Ojuekaiye
