Former Director of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ayo Olowonihi, has expressed optimism that the newly appointed Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Professor Joash Ojo-Amupitan, would ensure Nigerians truly elect their leaders through credible and transparent elections.
Olowonihi expressed this optimism on Thursday, while responding to questions in an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television.

According to him, the nominee possesses the courage, integrity, and dedication needed to strengthen Nigeria’s democratic process.

“Amupitan is the INEC chairman who will let Nigerians elect their leaders. He’s not going to be the kind of chairman who tells people to ‘go to court.’ He’s a hard worker, a man of character and integrity, and the tougher the job gets, the harder he’ll work,” he said.

The retired EFCC director further stated that Amupitan’s long career in academia and law has prepared him to lead INEC with fairness and resolve.
