Nigeria’s 109 Senators and 360 Reps: Why the Silence on INEC Chair’s Removal?

Ibrahim Shehu Giwa highlights that citizens, religious bodies and scholars are united against the planned removal of INEC Chairman Joash Amupitan. Yet our 109 senators and 360 representatives remain silent. These lawmakers were elected to defend the will of the people, not ignore widespread concerns over trust and fairness in our electoral commission. From Jama’atu Nasril Islam to MURIC and the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, calls for accountability are loud and clear. This debate isn’t about religion but about national confidence in our institutions. Our representatives should rise now, before they return seeking votes with folded hands. They were chosen to check power, not bow to it.

I agree, their silence is puzzling given how many Nigerians oppose that move.

Are we sure there's a unified public stance on this? Some voices may support accountability procedures.

It's odd that those elected to protect citizens' interests would ignore unified voices from scholars, religious bodies, and community leaders.

But suppose they weigh legal or party pressures more heavily; no be only negligence, maybe they see other priorities.

Perhaps constituents should directly petition representatives or amplify concerns through town halls until lawmakers address the INEC chair removal debate.
