Very intelligent and fair man.

He would handle our future elections as an unbiased and driven umpire.

Congratulations.
If this man ever decides to make the election free and fair, that'll be the end of Tinubu's presidency. I'm sure you know this

They are angry because they want someone they can bully to support Mr Lamba but Tinubu shove them off and did what we want and whoever not happy can go to court.
people that when they controlled the government in the 1960s awarded 11 of of 22 schorlarships from germany meant for the whole country to their kinsmen from the east....not just from the eastern region as it was then but from his village. The same people that out of 608 federal schorlarships awarded 387 to their region, the same people that installed their own kinsmen as vice chancellors in all the universities at the time are complaining that a yoruba man is in power and appointed a yoruba man as InEc commisioner.

2023 WAS SHAMEFUL BUT THEY WAITED FOR 2027.



THAT WILL BE THE LAST BUS STOP FOR A PRESIDENT THAT COULD NOT WIN HIS STATE OF ORIGIN(LOSUN) OR STATE OF RESIDENCE(LAGOS)



HE DID NOT WIN FCT.


HARD OR SOFT LANDING, TINUBU WILL USE HIS HAND TO DECIDE.

Na GEJ mumu pass. During his time, he want and took one man like , that is totally an outsider to become his INEC chairman. He left everything to chance.
The Nigeria we know does not work like that.
But that same man Jonathan appointed conducted the 2011 election that gave Jonathan landslide victory.

Very competent man from kogi stage.

When are we going to have a Yoruba man inec chairman though?

This marginalization is too much.
Joash is a Yoruba man from Kogi state.

Tinubu why? Why are you marginalizing the Yoruba people.

No Yoruba man has been appointed INEC chairman ever. This is so sad.

He is Yoruba
Although i expected Tinubu to name a south south or a south east person.
Buhari used North, why can't Tinubu use a southern person
How can you expect him to na SS or SE person, u sabi the criteria wey dem dey use? If if he did as you expected, Would it make you love him?

Dude, he is from North Central. No be everything be tribe

He is a Kogi man

Hmmm so 2027 rigging program has official been activated. Amupitan is a yoruba man from Kogi state appointed by Tinubu the president another yoruba man, participating in the next presidential election.... exposed of submitting fraudulent documents in the last electon?
How Im wan take rig am?

All hands are on deck preparing and waiting and watching.

Aregbesola and his thousands of Agents are in the SouthWest countering and infiltrating the "ringing machinery" of Tinubu(That's why the Lagos NURTW chairman cried out recently)

El-Rufai,Atiku,Tambuwal,etc in the North are sending out thousands of Agents to mount sentry.

What about the OBIdients...

They are the first to start a fearsome anti-rigging programe; They are recruiting 15 "Vigilantes" in each polling units Nationwide...called the OBIdient Marshals...

..and Peter Obi has instructed every OBIdient to "Count" any INEC Staff or corper who dared to rig.

Tinubu can not successfully rig out the opposition this time.

Stop giving BATists false hope

AsgardKing:
The president is way smarter than imagined. Nigerians will experience a FREE and FAIR election hence why he is making very strong political moves. Now, his successors are being set up because they will not be able to undo the upcoming cleaner format that the 2027 election would be because the Tinubu reference would be strong.

The guest is, if IREV worked well, would Peter win? If IREV worked well, would Atiku win?

Now Tinubu has incumbency to win and doesn't need the INEC, be will bequeath a clean INEC election in 2031. The question then would be, would the politicians then be able to withstand FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS that Amupitan would oversee.
Don't bow to ignorance, Tinubu is not smart at all, if he was smart he would hahave ve solved at least one problem :
Insecurity
Poverty
Hunger
Unemployment
Tinubu is a terrible man, the more you look, the less you see.

Kikikikiki....

Very funny.

Don't delude yourself.

Aregbesola's boys in the SouthWest will counter any rigging plans....

The "OBIdient Marshals" are positioned at every single polling units Nationwide...(174,000 units or so) 15 "Vigilantes" per polling Units...

El-Rufai's Anti-rigging millitias are everywhere in the farthest North; same with Atiku's,etc.

Do not take joy in the secret hope of rigging!!

Opposition are not smiling.

Beware !!

Rest, she is retiring next year. Tinubu didnt force her to resume civil service 34years ago. If she started later, she would have remained there

Most of you dont know much about anything
There are people I engage in this forum not someone like you. Reading your comment even makes it laughable. If she's retiring next year, what stops him from waiting till early next year to appoint someone else? Mr. Too know.

I knew of all these history bro. Despite they are my people I don't support mediocre. I was told once upon a time half police, immigration and custom are from the East. I was told almost all govt parastarals my people dominated then nobody shout nepotism but now that God is reversing it all they started crying nepotism.

Researchers, over to you on the new appointee's profile.

I personally do not believe Tinubu won the last election giving Buhari/APC 's outing prior. However, Tinubu has proven to be a far better administrator than Buhari and in some respect, Jonathan (although he owes Jonathan an apology for the subsidy protest, having come to swallow his vomit on keeping subsidy).

Having said the above, regardless my support of Tinubu 's economic policy, it will take heavy politicking, and some rigging for Tinubu to win the coming election. This is not because Tinubu has been terrible, but because Nigerians are too poor, uneducated to appreciate the reforms. If we agree, the greater number are hungry illiterates with a need for immediate gratification, then you'd agree that the greater number won't want Tinubu back. Those that are literate enough as Sanusi, Iweala, to appreciate his policies, do not have the numbers. So see you see rigging.
Accordingly to you "Nigerian are too poor and uneducated to appreciate the reform" Meanwhile those you mentioned who are rich and well educated have also noted that the gains of the reforms have been stolen from the masses by the ruling class through corruption and unaccountability. You are not even ashamed in trying to blackmail members of this forum to agree with you that the greater number of Nigerian voters are "hungry illiterates", concluding that that accounts for why Tinubu will not win but will rig himself in.
I am sorry but I think you are a poor student of political science, sociology and even economics.
Firstly you blame the overwhelming poverty in Nigeria which is the direct function of bad governance riddled with corruption on illiteracy of the masses which in itself is an indictment on the government. Are you not aware that literacy is one of the indices of development?
If Tinubu lose the election in 2027 which is most likely barring rigging, it is not for any other reasons but because the gains his bold reforms have been hijacked by his corrupt government
