Don Aza is a super analyst on social media. Don Aza did a very good analysis on the INEC chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan.
There was the concept of game theory he explained. I belong to a WhatsApp group of prominent Nigerians in the United States elites, intellectuals and I first read about game theory there. But when he explained it, I really understood it.
Now, he explained the situation around Joash Amupitan.
So, there was an allegation that Joash Amupitan is a supporter of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and therefore cannot be an impartial referee in the forthcoming elections.
They defended him when a Muslim body said he should be removed because he once wrote about Christian genocide. What he wrote is true, but now there are questions being raised.
There was a discussion he allegedly had on X (Twitter) that was screenshotted. His name and details were visible. He reportedly said “victory is sure” and mentioned “Jagaban.” Then suddenly, that page was scrubbed, renamed, and locked.
Social media is very dangerous. Be careful what you post—it can be used against you.
Just as Bwalamnesia and Bwalabeque have taken place, just like Bola Ahmed Tinubu said that if he doesn’t provide electricity, we should not vote for him. A promise is a promise. He said you will have electricity and you won’t have estimated billing. If I don’t do that, don’t vote for me in 2027—those words are there.
You can’t deny them if you are a man of integrity Even though the page was scrubbed, people later traced the phone number and email allegedly linked to him. Then AI tools like Grok were used. That was the first time I heard that name—I had to call my son to explain it to me.
Grok reportedly indicated that the original owner of the page was Joash Amupitan and that changes were made recently due to allegations. Another person asked if it was false accusation, and the AI responded that it was not.
Now, the big question:
If a professor can allegedly deny his page, scrub it, rename it, and lock it—can such a person be trusted to conduct free and fair elections?
The simple answer: No.
We saw what happened under Prof. Mahmood Yakubu—glitches, irregularities, and results announced at odd hours. Now you want Nigerians to trust again?
There are also allegations from a WhatsApp group—someone who claimed to be his colleague made serious accusations about academic misconduct. These have not been challenged.
How come it is now the APC defending him?
