2027 Polls Must Be Free, Fair – INEC Chairman, Amupitan Insists by treesun(op): 2:03pm On Jan 09
National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof. Joash Amupitan, has reaffirmed the commission’s readiness to organise an election that is free, transparent and beyond reproach in the forthcoming 2027 general elections.

Speaking on Friday during INEC’s Induction and Strategic Retreat for its national commissioners, secretary to the commission, resident electoral commissioners, administrative secretaries and directors of the commission in Lagos, the INEC boss said, “The eyes of over 200 million Nigerians and the entire continent are upon us. The work ahead is demanding, the hours will be long and the scrutiny will be intense.

“The 2027 general election must be free and fair and be a watershed moment in Nigeria’s history. But we must even aim higher.

“I want us to build an institution that is globally recognised, let it be that under our watch, INEC became the best election management body in Africa- a beacon of integrity, a model of technological efficiency and a fortress of democratic values.”

He charged the commission’s staff that INEC can indeed conduct a world-class, technologically driven and transparent election that is beyond reproach.

“Our success in 2027 must be more than a national victory. It must be a continental standard, a proof-of-concept that demonstrates that INEC can indeed conduct a world-class technology-driven and transparent election that is beyond reproach,” said Amupitan.

He stressed that there will be no room for misconduct, whether by omission or commission.

In a free and fair election, Tinubu cannot win councilorship election. That's a fact.

Nigerians don’t trust INEC, they see these as EMPTY words just like previous corrupt people said, so INEC must be held accountable and watched globally from point A to point Z.
Re: 2027 Polls Must Be Free, Fair – INEC Chairman, Amupitan Insists by Eriokanmi:
The US government has fired a shot already. The onus is on tinubu and amupitan to behave themselves. There must be no repeat of 2023.

Doubting thomases should read the warning as published inside the Nigerian tribune a few days ago(below).

Free and fair election is only in Abuja it happens.The remaining 36 states hustle for yourself.

No be by mouth. Na by action. Infact I'm already beginning to doubt this guy. If he really wanted free and fair elections, he should device plans that will make the election watertight and keep his plans to himself until time of execution.

How dare him say such?

Tinubu and his SW supporter don't use ear hear anything free and Fair.

How can Tinubu face Atiku and Obi combo if election holds free and fair ni?

Anyway we know who appointed you and who you will always choose to please or work for, but 2027 will not be funny.

PBAT knows within his heart of heart and the inner-most chamber of his heart that he cannot be victorious in the Presidential Elections in year 2027.

Asides from the economy and the international diplomatic embarrassments from Burkina Faso & the US, President Tinubu has proven a new level of unassertiveness through Nyesom Wike.

Imagine a sitting Minister leaving his duty post in the FCT and for the second time in eighteen (18 months) has shown he is above the law and the president keeping mute because he helped you garner less than 1m votes.

Haba !
