Social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has criticised INEC Chairman Professor Joash Amupitan for meeting the All Progressives Congress (APC) United Kingdom chapter chairman, Tunde Doherty, during an official trip abroad.
The comments came amid online criticism of Amupitan following reports that the electoral chief wore an APC-branded cap during his UK visit. VeryDarkMan said he carefully reviewed the video and did not see Amupitan wearing the cap. He clarified that it was Doherty who appeared in the footage wearing the APC headwear.“I watched the video carefully and I didn’t see where the INEC chairman was wearing APC cap,” he said.
Despite clearing up the cap controversy, VeryDarkMan questioned why the head of Nigeria’s electoral commission would meet a chieftain of the ruling party while on official duty. He argued that such an association could raise legitimate doubts about the commission’s neutrality.
The activist maintained that public concerns were understandable, stressing that the real issue was not simply whether Amupitan wore the party cap, but whether his conduct risked undermining confidence in the electoral body.
It's annoying that Nigerian Eye is even posting about Verydarkman... Do they know about Chatham House? Is it not open to the public? Was the INEC Chairman supposed to ask for a list of those who would be in attendance at the event before accepting them to attend? Those idiots who waited outside for the INEC Chairman could have been inside to listen to whatever he had to say, but then, we all know how idiotic those guys from that tribe are... Real idiots
