President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has sent Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan (SAN) name to the national assembly on Tuesday for the Senate to screen and confirm his nomination and appointment as the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The President’s request was contained in a letter read by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, during plenary.
Recall that the Council of State had last week confirmed Amupitan for appointment as INEC chairman to replace Professor Mahmood Yakubu, whose two-term tenure had elapsed.
After reading the letter in plenary, the Senate President referred it to the Committee of the Whole for further legislative action.
