He Lied To Nigerians” — Ex-Presidential Candidate Calls For Amupitan’s Sack

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television, Adebayo said the issue goes beyond the content of the posts and touches on trust, credibility, and truth in public office.

He noted that concerns arising from the matter relate to the reliability of statements made by public officials, particularly those occupying sensitive positions like the head of the electoral body.

Adebayo explained that the National Assembly has the constitutional authority to summon the INEC chairman to appear before lawmakers and give testimony under oath regarding the allegations.

According to him, if such testimony is later proven false through proper investigations, including forensic analysis, it could carry serious consequences.

He stressed that in such a case, the issue would not be about the alleged posts themselves, but about dishonesty to the public.

Adebayo added that the office of the INEC chairman requires a high level of integrity and transparency due to its critical role in overseeing elections in the country.

He said, “The National Assembly can invite him to testify under oath. If he maintains his position and a forensic review later proves otherwise, he could be removed—not for the post itself, but for misleading the public. The INEC chairmanship demands integrity.”
