News Investigators/ The Amalgamated Arewa Youths Group (AAYG), has commended President Bola Tinubu for the nomination and subsequent confirmation of Joash Amupitan as the new Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
In a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Victor Duniya on Monday in Kaduna, the group described the president’s nomination as “a masterstroke” that reflected his “visionary and patriotic commitment to democratic consolidation.
“The nomination of Prof. Amupitan demonstrates the president’s resolve to appoint individuals of proven integrity and competence to lead critical national institutions.”
The group also lauded the National Council of State for approving the nomination, saying that the endorsement further validated the credibility of the selection process.
AAYG described Amupitan as “a man of towering intellect, impeccable virtue, and a beacon of integrity,” expressing confidence in his ability to lead INEC with transparency and uphold the sanctity of Nigeria’s electoral system.
The group also praised the Senate of the Federal Republic, under the leadership of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, for confirming the nomination “without resistance or partisan bottlenecks.
“Our lawmakers have acted in line with the will of the people, and we commend their responsiveness to the voice of their constituents.$
AAYG further called on Nigerians, regardless of political or regional affiliations, to support the newly confirmed INEC Chairman in his efforts to reform and strengthen the electoral process.
“We strongly believe Prof. Amiputan will be a non-partisan arbiter who can reduce post-election litigations and restore full public trust in our elections,” the group added.
The group extended congratulations and pledged full cooperation, promising to mobilise Northern youths in support of his electoral reforms.
Duniya said, “We urge you to discharge your duties with the fear of God, fairness to all, and full allegiance to the Constitution.
“The future of our democracy rests heavily on your leadership.”
The News Agency of Nigeria(NAN) reports that AAYG is an umbrella body representing youths organisations across the 19 Northern states and the Federal Capital Territory.
