The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Joash Amupitan, has come under heavy fire over the controversy surrounding the Court of Appeal ruling on the leadership of the African Democratic Party (ADC).
Speaking via his X handle on Friday, actor-turned-politician Kenneth Okonkwo berated Amupitan, calling him the most incompetent INEC chairman in Nigeria’s history.
Okonkwo shared that after watching an interview featuring Amupitan on Arise TV’s Morning Show, his conclusion is that the INEC boss is irresponsible and dishonest.
The thespian, who is also a lawyer, said he was shocked to find out that Amupitan learned about the judgment of the Court of Appeal from social media.
“After listening to Prof Joash Ojo Amupitan, the INEC Chairman of Nigeria, on Arise TV, Morning Show, on the 3 March 2026, at about 9:30 am, I have come to the inevitable conclusion that the INEC Chairman is not only the most incompetent INEC Chairman in Nigeria history, but he is an irresponsible, dishonest person.

“First, I was shocked to hear from the incompetent Chairman that he learnt about the judgement of the Court of Appeal from the social media.
“This is a case that INEC is a party to and represented by a Counsel, yet the head of INEC heard about the judgement in the social media. I wish he had even said main media. What an indescribable level of incompetence!
“What this means is that what we have is a social media chairman who takes decisions based on social media comments rather than pure legal principles.
“Little wonder the quality of his decisions are at the same level with some social media miscreants and street urchins whose main aim is to attract traffic to their blog rather than making any sense in their scripts…,” Okonkwo penned.
