The Obidient Movement says it is demanding clarification from Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over the whereabouts of INEC chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan. The group raises concerns after a commissioner reportedly acts in his place.
The outlets link the issue to Amupitan’s absence from an engagement in Abuja involving an African Union (AU) electoral delegation. Vanguard reports the demand is specifically tied to his failure to attend that AU-related engagement and asks for details of his official whereabouts and engagements. The Punch similarly frames the matter as a call for INEC to explain where the chairman is and what has happened to his official schedule. Both accounts present the dispute as a request for information rather than an allegation of a specific wrongdoing.
Overall, the reports reflect the same core claim: the movement wants INEC to account for Amupitan’s absence and the circumstances under which another official took his place.
