The activist’s reaction comes amid public criticism of Amupitan following reports that he wore an APC-branded cap during his UK visit.

However, VeryDarkMan said he had watched the video circulating online and did not see the INEC chairman wearing the cap. He clarified that Doherty, who appeared alongside Amupitan, was the person wearing the party-branded headwear.

Despite clearing up the claim about the cap, the activist questioned why the head of the electoral commission would meet with a ruling party official while on official duty.
He argued that such interactions could raise concerns about INEC’s neutrality and affect public confidence in the commission’s ability to conduct impartial elections.
VeryDarkMan maintained that the controversy went beyond whether Amupitan wore an APC cap, saying attention should also be paid to whether the electoral chairman’s conduct could create doubts about the independence of the electoral body.
