A delegation of the Body of Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) resident on the Plateau, led by Pius A. Akubo, SAN, paid a courtesy visit to the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Joash Amupitan, SAN, at the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja to congratulate him on his appointment.
Presenting a congratulatory card on behalf of the Plateau SANs, Akubo described Prof. Amupitan’s appointment as a “historic milestone” for the North-Central region and Nigeria’s democracy.
He prayed for God’s guidance and protection over the new INEC Chairman as he leads the nation’s electoral body.
Responding, Prof. Amupitan expressed deep appreciation for the visit, describing the Plateau SANs as family and recalling his professional roots with the vibrant legal community in Plateau State. He paid glowing tributes to the late senior advocates from the state whose passing, he said, was a painful loss to the legal profession.
The INEC Chairman also commended his National Commissioners, the Secretary to the Commission, directors and technical aides for their unwavering support, describing them as the “generals” behind the success of recent elections.
Looking ahead, Prof. Amupitan said INEC is focused on the forthcoming Osun State governorship election and preparations for future nationwide electoral activities.
He appealed to Nigerians, particularly members of the legal profession, to continue praying for and supporting the Commission as it carries out its constitutional mandate.
