Senate President Godswill Akpabio further asked whether the INEC chairman-nominee had served as part of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) or Labour Party (LP) legal teams, to which he also responded in the negative.
“I was not a member of any team,” Amupitan, who is the Deputy Vice-Chancellor of University of Jos (UniJos) in Plateau State, said.
Amupitan’s nomination as INEC chairman has generated public interest, with some political observers questioning his neutrality ahead of his confirmation.
