Amupitan, an academic at the University of Jos, was recently nominated by the Council of State to preside over the electoral body for the next five years.The Council is headed by President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking at a press conference ahead of the 36th anniversary celebration of Rehoboth Cathedral, themed “The Glory of the Latter House”, Adelakun, who also serves as Chancellor of Dominion University, Ibadan, charged Amupitan on fairness and fearlessness.
Adelakun said: “The new INEC Chairman must be fearless and fair. The true umpire must never be biased. My prayer is that he will succeed and that integrity will guide his tenure.”
The press conference was part of activities leading up to the 36th anniversary of Rehoboth Cathedral, taking place from October 16 to 19, 2025, at Wonder Hall, Rehoboth Cathedral, Wonder City, Ibadan. The four-day event will feature what Bishop Adelakun described as “four days of fearful praise and two mornings of appreciation,” culminating in the foundation-laying of a 16,000-capacity mega cathedral , which he vowed would be completed within a year. Adelakun also highlighted his ministry’s contributions to education and youth development, including the establishment of Dominion University, Victory Christian College, and Victory Christian Academy. He explained that these institutions were founded out of a deep conviction that education remains the most effective tool for national transformation.
