The chair of Nigeria’s electoral commission, Prof. Joash Amupitan, denies claims that he owned or operated an X (formerly Twitter) account used to express support for President Bola Tinubu and the APC. He says the allegation is being handled through formal channels after reporting it to security and law-enforcement agencies.
Across the reports, outlets focus on Amupitan’s denial and his statement that the matter has been referred to the Department of State Services (DSS) and the police. One outlet also frames the issue as part of broader concerns about his neutrality, mentioning additional allegations beyond the X account itself.
While all sources center on the same controversy, their emphasis differs: coverage ranges from the direct denial and referrals to authorities, to a wider set of claims discussed in the context of future-election concerns. The overall picture is that Amupitan addresses alleged social-media involvement while seeking to reject implied bias.
