Let us address the red flag that first defined your public profile, your vocal support for the narrative of Christian Genocide in Nigeria. While you possess the right to hold personal views, once you step into the political arena as a public servant, you must be held accountable for positions that fly in the face of objective reality. The widespread killing of Nigerians regardless of faith or ethnicity at the hands of bandits is a national tragedy that requires a balanced perspective.
By leaning into a divisive global campaign, you have signaled a deep-seated bias. Muslim organizations are right to question your impartiality; if your lens is clouded by such sentiment, how can you possibly oversee an electoral umpire that demands absolute neutrality?
You are once again in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. It appears you have become a tool for your masters’ bidding, proving that you lack the fortitude to stand against injustice. This is a dangerous trajectory: those who refuse to stand firm are inevitably used, dumped, and shamed.
The most recent display of this moral deficit is the legal abuse regarding the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC). To treat a stay of execution order as a final judgment or worse, as a preemptive directive to the courts is a perversion of the law you are meant to profess. Delisting substantive leadership in favor of a faction is not just a clownish act; it is a calculated assault on public trust.
If your subconscious does not signal the danger of dining with the devil, then you have become a risk to yourself and the future of Nigeria. You occupy one of the most sensitive positions in the land, the very office where the leadership fate of this country is decided. If you cannot uphold the true values and characteristics required to lead INEC, you have no business presiding over our democracy.
History is watching, and it will not be kind to those who sold their country for a seat at the table.
Respect the office, if not yourself.
A Call to Conscience.
Prof. Amupitan, do not be deceived, Nigeria is a tinderbox, and you cannot set this nation ablaze by silencing the legitimate voice of the ADC simply to satisfy backroom political dealings. These behind-the-scenes maneuvers may feel like a scripted movie where secrets are kept in the shadows, but in the light of history, every actor’s true face is eventually revealed.
Speak to your subconscious for a moment. Ask yourself: Is the job you have been given worth the permanent ruin of the career you spent decades building? You are currently walking a path that leads to global exposure and personal infamy. There is no amount of patronage that can buy back a shattered reputation once the world sees you as the man who traded a nation’s stability for a master’s favor.
Save yourself and the country the impending turmoil. Do the following immediately:
1. Revert the delisting.
Restore the substantive names of the legitimate ADC leadership without further delay or legal gymnastics.
2. Tender your resignation.
Recognize that your position is now compromised. Walk away from the INEC building with what remains of your dignity.
3. Sever the ties.
Walk away from those paying you to perform dirty jobs under the guise of public service.
If you continue to dine with the devil, do not be surprised when you find yourself on the menu. The choice is yours, be remembered as a Professor of Law who upheld the truth, or a cautionary tale of how power can hollow out a man’s soul.
The eyes of 200 million people—and the archives of history are fixed upon you.
Comrade, IG Wala
A member of ADC.
