Activist Aisha Yesufu has joined growing calls for the removal of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Joash Amupitan.
Yesufu, a member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), said it has become necessary for Amupitan to step down over what she described as his alleged partisan conduct.
She made the call in a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, noting that Nigerians are becoming increasingly active in demanding accountability.
“I love how active Nigerians have become! #ActiveCitizens. I always focus on the little wins. They snowball into the big wins,” she wrote.
The activist added that in previous years, such actions might have gone unchallenged.
“At this stage, it becomes mandatory that #AmupitanMustGo. My party is not here to play,” she stated.
Yesufu also disclosed that she would be absent from the ADC’s upcoming convention due to a prior commitment to attend a workshop in Brazil.
“The most painful part of all of this for me is that I will not be in the country for my first party convention. I accepted months ago to be at a workshop in Brazil,” she added.
