The Presidency has said the Interim National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, David Mark, National Secretary, Rauf Aregbesola and the party’s spokesman, Bolaji Abdullahi can’t teach the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Joash Amupitan his duties.
President Bola Tinubu’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Temitope Ajayi, said Amupitan is at the top of his career academically and professionally.
This comes as Mark and chieftains of the ADC had charged Amupitan to resign from his position during a press conference yesterday in Abuja.
Mark had charged Tinubu to sack Amupitan because he has shown that he can’t conduct elections in Nigeria.
However, posting on X, Ajayi wrote: “We all can at least agree that the INEC chairman is at the top of his career academically and professionally – a teacher of law, Professor of law and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria.
“What this means is he sure knows what “status quo ante bellum” means.
“Senator David Mark, Mr. Peter Obi, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola and Mr. Bolaji Abdullahi, certainly, can’t teach him what that latin legal maxim means.
“It is bad politics for ADC people to make their own internal crisis of choice a problem of Professor Amupitan, that of President Tinubu and APC.”
