On October 14, 2025, political activist Dele Farotimi commented on President Bola Tinubu’s nomination of Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan as the new INEC Chairman.
Farotimi’s statement, “Tinubu is not Jona, and you can take it for granted that he is convinced about his nominee,” reflects a critical perspective on the nomination process.
This remark contrasts Tinubu’s approach with that of former President Goodluck Jonathan, suggesting a difference in handling electoral integrity.

Baloye’s plea underscores the significance of the INEC chairman’s role, especially given past controversies.
Farotimi’s use of “dogo turenci,” a Hausa term for addressing a prominent figure, adds a regional flavor to the discourse, highlighting skepticism about the nomination’s integrity.
As Nigeria navigates this critical appointment, the debate continues to shape public perception of electoral fairness and governance.
The coming months will be crucial in determining whether this nomination restores or further erodes confidence in the electoral system.
