BUSTED: Deleted Tweet Exposes INEC Boss Joash Amupitan As Bonafide Card Carrying Member Of APC
A resurfaced tweet, now deleted, has exposed the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Joash Amupitan, as a card carrying member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The tweet, which is currently circulating on social media, is being interpreted by some users as evidence of political affiliation with the ruling party, raising concerns about the neutrality and independence of the electoral body.
The posts, originally made in March 2023 via the handle @Sundayvibe00 on X, included statements like “Victory is sure” while celebrating APC performance during gubernatorial polling.
The tone of the tweets was openly partisan, projecting strong allegiance to the ruling party at the time. As the screenshots went viral on X, the account was abruptly altered. The handle was changed to @Sundayvibe00, the profile was locked, and it now carries a “Parody Account” label, a move widely seen as a clear attempt to distance from the exposed posts.
Nigerians are now demanding his immediate removal, insisting that such visible political bias disqualifies him from overseeing a neutral and credible electoral process ahead of 2027.
The backlash has intensified nationwide, with growing calls that the integrity of Nigeria’s electoral system cannot be entrusted to someone with a documented history of partisan advocacy.
