Social media activist VeryDarkMan has challenged the propriety of a meeting between the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Joash Amupitan, and the United Kingdom chapter chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Tunde Doherty, during an official engagement abroad.
His criticism followed public concerns over reports that Amupitan wore an APC-branded cap during his UK visit.
However, VeryDarkMan said his review of the video showed that it was Doherty, rather than the INEC chairman, who wore the party-branded cap.
“I watched the video carefully and I didn’t see where the INEC chairman was wearing APC cap,” he said.
Despite clarifying the identity of the person wearing the cap, the activist questioned why the head of Nigeria’s electoral body would meet a prominent figure of the ruling party while on official duty.
He argued that such an engagement could create doubts about INEC’s independence and impartiality, particularly as the country approaches the 2027 general elections.
VeryDarkMan maintained that the controversy went beyond whether Amupitan wore the APC cap, stressing that the chairman’s conduct should not undermine public confidence in the electoral commission.
