NewsOnline Nigeria reports that President Bola Tinubu has officially nominated Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan (SAN) for appointment as the new Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The President’s request was conveyed in a letter read by Senate President Godswill Akpabio during Tuesday’s plenary session.
This nomination follows the expiration of the two-term tenure of the outgoing INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu. Last week, the Council of State had ratified Amupitan’s nomination for the top electoral position.
Following the reading of the letter, Akpabio referred the request to the Senate Committee of the Whole for immediate legislative consideration and screening.
