Akpabio Defends Tweet Linked To Amupitan by treesun(op): 6:11pm On Apr 14
Akpabio admits Amupitan have X handle, he only said Victory is Sure.



Tweet linked to Amupitan neutral, Akpabio defends INEC chairman

The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has defended the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Joash Amupitan, over allegations of partisan bias linked to a controversial social media post.

Speaking on Tuesday during the inauguration of the corporate headquarters of the National Revenue Service in Abuja, Akpabio dismissed claims that a resurfaced tweet suggested political alignment by the INEC chairman, insisting the statement attributed to him was neutral.

“Then they changed and said, okay, let us attack the people going to do the election. And they brought out a tweet where they said, the chairman of INEC said victory is sure. But he didn’t say victory is sure for APC. He did not say victory is sure for PDP. He just said victory is sure,” he said.

Akpabio added that the context of the statement had been misrepresented, noting that the alleged post dated back to a period before the individual assumed office.

"And the man said that it’s manipulated. Nobody wants to hear. But for me, whether it is manipulated or not, he said victory is sure. He was not chairman of INEC. He was just a mere lecturer. Anybody can support anybody who he wishes to,” he stated.

He, however, stressed that public office holders must remain impartial once entrusted with national responsibilities.

“But when you are on a seat, you have to think of the entire country and all the populace. And that’s what they are doing,” he added.

See how the most uselessly loquacious rubber-stamped SP ever seen in the history of Nigeria just affirmed the solemn truth that is an open secret? You must be incredibly stupid and senseless to defend anything APC

Baba Mr President, you are the confused and wicked person. Imagine you wanting to be the Robert Mugabe of Nigeria. Mr president, you and your devilish party members have weaponized poverty and impoverished Nigerians.

Posterity will judge you.

ON YOUR MANDATE YOU FALL

For them to deny it in the first place is enough ground to sack that Prof who uses chatgpt for his tweets. Shame.

I've not read the article, but what is there to defend in how Amu has conducted himself so far in this matter? His past tweets are defensible since we don't have standards like that (you can say he wasn't heading INEC then), but denying his accounts and lying blatantly to the public? A whole professor? An SAN? These people have no shame. I will not step out to vote if Mr Amupitan is in charge of the electoral body. I know they will still hold the election, but I won't be part of it.

Executive is speaking about it.

Legislature is speaking about it.

E remain judiciary.

There is no smoke without fire. The honorable thing to have done was keep quiet SP. These young people have time on their hands and they are digitally native. You still use analog and you are digitally naive. They will show you receipts.

cheesy

Akpabio is a mad man

Same tweet amupitan denied
Like Tinubu, like Akpabio, a rubber-stamp Senate President. Just give them a microphone, they would talk without reasoning, and would expose their hidden atrocities. Nigerian politics has a way of turning a learned individual into a laughingstock.

Re: Akpabio Defends Tweet Linked To Amupitan by Blunt99: 9:24pm On Apr 14
And finally agreed that the account belongs to the INEC chairman, by trying to disagree.


There is a very thin line between Akpabio and Opkebolo, the Edo State governor.

They always sound like illiterates.
