Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan, SAN, a law professor from University of Jos, was nominated by President Bola Tinubu on Oct 9, 2025, confirmed by Senate Oct 16, and sworn in as INEC Chairman on Oct 23, 2025, succeeding Mahmood Yakubu.
INEC's April 10, 2026 statement by Chief Press Secretary Adedayo Oketola explicitly denies the Chairman owns or operates any X account, calling claims "baseless" and citing impersonators.
The joashamupitan account, created 2022, links to Amupitan's Yahoo email (est. 2006), phone numbers (registered 2009-2011 under his name), UNIJOS email for 2FA, WhatsApp, and OPay account—all matching his verified identity per public digital records and archives.
Fact-based conclusion: The account's two-decade digital footprint aligns precisely with Amupitan's personal details, contradicting the official denial.
After our widows and orphans empowerment program yesterday, this poor widow ALILONU CHINASA HARRIETA pulled me aside. With tears in her eyes, she said she might not be alive to attend the next one. She sees no way out of her situation except if God comes for her.
She lifted her blouse and showed me the lump. She has cancer. She has spent the little she had on several tests, but some results she hasn’t even been able to collect because she lacks money to pay for them. The doctor says she needs urgent surgery and treatment, which will cost ₦2.8 million and above.
This woman is a widow with three young daughters. She lost her husband years ago. Her husband’s family has abandoned her because she has only girls. She was the only surviving child of her late parents, so she has no one else to turn to.
Please, if this touches your soul, let us come together and save her life. She has no other hope.

Update on the Jerseys Giveaway
Good evening everyone,
As of this morning, I have successfully dispatched 10 out of the 15 jerseys courtesy of @victorosimhen9.
This is because @_abdulakeem_ has so far shared the list of 10 winners with me since Thursday. The remaining 5 will be sent out immediately once he provides the full details.
Out of the 10 dispatched:
- 4 recipients are in Lagos.
- I have confirmed safe delivery for 3 of them.
- The 4th recipient wasn’t available at the time of delivery, so I personally connected him with the rider over a call to arrange pickup.
All deliveries are being handled with care across Lagos and different cities according to the location of whoever he picks.
On the feedback about the fabric: These are the official Player Version jerseys — the lighter, more breathable material designed for on-pitch performance (same grade used by professionals). They are not the heavier fan/replica versions. one of the winner have expressed dissatisfaction on the preference saying they want thicker style but these are the jerseys I won’t put fake out there. The jersey’s been delivered are sold at that price as I did not add or deduct neither did I change the quality
I’m committed to makingsure every winner receives exactly what meets their expectations.
I appreciate everyone’s understanding as we wrap this up smoothly.
I’ll keep you updated on the final 5.
