The National Secretary of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, Sunday Ogini, has accused the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof Joash Amupitan, of incompetence.
Ogini made the claim on Wednesday while fielding questions on News Central Television.
He said that INEC’s chairman’s legal interpretations reveal incompetence in managing court rulings.
“Amupitan is not competent as a professor of law. The incompetence of Amupitan will cost us this democracy if we keep quiet.
“This leadership tussle in the NNPP, we were able to secure valid court judgment that affirmed the leadership of the Bito Abu-led executive, which I am the secretary.
“We got that judgment at the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, and the Appeal Court in Owerri also confirmed us. Do you need to go to Harvard University to know that you, as the unbiased umpire, must obey court order and valid judgment?
“Amupitan is incompetent. I am telling you here. I met him one on one. We discussed on this matter. I want Nigerians to know the incompetence of Amupitan today,” he said.
