INEC boss Prof Joash Amupitan huddled Friday with rival PDP camps in Abuja—summoning Tanimu Turaki’s NWC/BoT crew (Sen Adolphus Wabara, ex-Gov Babangida Aliyu) and acting chair Abdulrahaman Mohammed’s squad (Sen Samuel Anyanwu, Capt Umar Bature)—to hash out conflicting letters ahead of Feb 2026 FCT area polls, June Ekiti gov race and July Osun showdown.
Amupitan stressed INEC’s ironclad tripod of Constitution, Electoral Act and regs demands unity to dodge drama, issuing timelines for seamless votes while urging frank family chats in closed-door huddle—proving proactive fence-mending keeps democracy’s rails steady amid party civil wars.
This pre-poll powwow spotlights INEC’s referee role in Nigeria’s fractious politics, betting dialogue trumps discord to deliver credible ballots and douse faction fires before ballots drop.
