The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has again demanded the sack of the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Joash Amupitan.‎


‎MURIC’s grouse with INEC chairman is the 80-page legal brief authored by the professor which was one of the major documents used by the United States of America to indict Nigeria on the highly controversial and volatile issue of Christian genocide.

In a statement on Sunday, ‎MURIC said: ‎”We are highly disappointed with both the Federal Government (FG) and Professor Joash Amupitan for their graveyard silence over the demand of the Nigerian Muslim Community that the INEC boss should be removed for penning the toxic 80-page legal brief which was one of the major documents used by the United States of America to indict Nigeria on the highly controversial and volatile issue of Christian genocide.
‎
‎”We are especially disappointed that FG has elected to ignore calls to sack the INEC boss made by several Islamic organizations in the country. It is lack of sensitivity.
‎
‎”As far as Nigerian Muslims are concerned, Joash Amupitan has become persona non grata to our own vision of the Nigerian electoral architecture. Even the PVC revalidation exercise being planned by him is seen by us as a trap where prospective Muslim voters will be massively disenfranchised.
‎
‎”Amupitan has become an electoral burden to INEC, a human landmine and the personification of existential threat to Nigerian Muslim voters

‎
‎”He sold Nigeria once. He will sell Nigeria again. Anyone who invites imperialists into the internal affairs of his country deserves treason-related scrutiny. We hereby declare a vote of no confidence in the current INEC boss. FG should replace him with a tolerant Christian. To us, Amupitan is a live wire, highly combustible.
‎
‎”Even if FG did not act, he is expected to have voluntarily resigned with the gravity of the allegation leveled against him. That would have been integrity activated. But Amupitan continues to hang on to a loose string from a spider’s web in spite of the grave allegation staring him in the face.
‎
‎”Nigeria cannot advance in any notable field if people like Amupitan continue to revel in the infamous sit-tight syndrome. The INEC boss should know when the party is over. He should know very well that he could not have been appointed to that sensitive office if his pathological hatred for Muslims had been known earlier, particularly his ignoble role in pushing the false, misleading and malicious Christian genocide narrative.
‎
‎”Amupitan should have resigned honourably after the lid was blown off the entire thing. But he held on, desperately. The most interesting aspect of all these is that our INEC boss has not denied involvement to date. Observers are miffed by his silence because it is only in Nigeria that such impunity thrives. People resign from office in other climes over such scandals and misdeeds.
‎
‎”The list of those who resigned from public offices over scandals in more civilised environments include Rep. Jim Wright (House Speaker 1989), Rep. Bob Livingston (Speaker 1998), British Prime Minister Boris Johnson (over the ‘Pincher scandal’ and ‘Partygate’ 2022) and more recently, in January 2025, Treasury Minister Tulip Siddiq resigned over questions regarding her financial ties to the ousted Bangladeshi leader.
‎
‎”But never in Nigeria where sit-tight syndrome is the order of the day. Perhaps the INEC boss thinks we would soon get tired of the matter. How wrong can he be! On the contrary, we are just starting. Aluta continua, victoria acerta. We welcome Professor Joash Amupitan to ‘genocidegate’.
‎
‎”Nigeria has never had a worse umpire at the helm of our electoral affairs. He is a living embodiment of Muslim-Christian dichotomy. He is therefore a potent threat to religious harmony. It is hard for Muslims to contemplate forgiveness with Amupitan as the electoral umpire. Amupitan must go!”

Who is Muric?
MURIC is a one man Squad.

Even if I do not like Amupitan, the fact that the MURIC person wants Amupitan sacked is an enough reason to like him

MURIC has been supporting christians genocide for many years and it is time world or US do something about him

In Shaa Allah this man must go if there are genuine evidences on all these allegations but this was a man a once loved for this post but crumbled involved openly involving himself in ADC matter too much.


Taking side.

They strongly feel he shouldn’t hold that exalted position simply because he is a Christian.
Shameless

If only they can apply same energy on the issues disturbing the peace of our dear country I think the presidency will think twice and acts otherwise

This corrupt inec chairman must go.He is too bias.Tulumbu is using him to silence opposition..He and his pay master tulumbu will be disgraced by the Grace of God

this your comment is senseless,so you want the incompetent and corrupt Tulumbu to continue ruling us?.. NEVER

Wetin concern MURIC with politics gan an?

Tinubu changing Amupitan at this moment, is a quasi defeat for his re-election in few months time.

So he must go because he exposed you people? No way! I prefer to be in the hands of Amupitan than in the hands of any terrorist. Anything that makes Muric unhappy is what I'll support

Drank mumuric acid as usual

So he has to go because of his religious beliefs and not because he is not competent. MURIC, you are madt sir. Are xtains not being massacred daily? Those killings in Kaduna, Kwara, plateau, and even the most recent one of yesterday- Benue are Easter friendly visits abi? You wake up healthy, going about your daily businesses, laughing with your family, no sickness, no accident, and someone would be looking at you from afar , and inside him, you are already dead in few hours. And boom , hours later, you are their target. On festive time oo.
What can be more evil than that? Instead to call their evil brothers to order, they are more concerned about a letter that demand for justice.

Fix the issues of killing, if there's NO killing, no one would say a set of people are killed. How about bandits must go, or kidnappers must go? Talk to your followers, not to people hurting or feeling hurt.
If a person said his people are being killed, that doesn't disqualify him from service to the government and country. Instead, show him how/if he's wrong if he's willing to reason or listen. Again, more importantly, talk to your fellow muslims killing human beings in whatever reason or name.

Poor understanding of simple comprehension.
The passage you are responding to clearly stated that he has written a religious based petitions among which label Nigeria country of particular concerned.

Little did many know that right or wrong that MURIC is campaigning , even unknowningly, for removal of this corrupt lawyer for lawing TINUBU, T-Pain continuation on us come 2027, especially with his co-operation with Aso Rock on clandestine disorganization, decimation and decapitation of opposition, PDP already and ADC now.

Taking side.

Is he representing Christians? Are Christians and Muslims in contention? Was it a Christian president that appointed him? Una way be Muslim una thinking na the same from Iran to Northern Nigeria to South West Nigeria

Where is the voice of MURIC in all these Christian massacres going on in the north?

MURIC + HYPOCRISY= 1!

For the first time in my life, I have to agree with MURIC.
That Toad must go.

Amotolongbo:

Is that the danger of a single story aka halo effect that you are demonstrating?

Why should your opinion on Amupitan be shaped by the single story of MURIC
