The Digest:
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has threatened civil disobedience until INEC Chairman Joash Amupitan resigns, following fresh allegations of pro-APC bias from old tweets. US-based scholar Farooq Kperogi published a column alleging archived posts from an X account bearing Amupitan's name showed support for President Tinubu. ADC spokesman Bolaji Abdullahi said: "The referee cannot be running around in the shirt of one of the teams he's supposed to officiate." INEC has denied the claims, attributing them to impersonators.
Key Points:
- ADC says Amupitan has "fallen far below the standard expected of an electoral umpire."
- The party will update petitions to foreign governments and the NBA.
- INEC's spokesman warned of cybercriminals using fake identities to spread misinformation.
- The alleged tweets have divided public opinion on social media.
- ADC vows to "renew and escalate" civil disobedience action.
