Why would Buhari confer something good on Igbos or other Nigerians whom are not Fulanis or Yourbas. If you are not part of the "owners of Nigeria," which are the Fulanis and Yorubas, you're not included in anything in this country.

It is very clear that Prof Nwosu risks his life to do his job. But surprisingly he is not mentioned. You cannot mention Buhari's election win without mentioning Prof Jega. Is it because Prof Nwosu is Igbo?

Buhari has given an award and benefits to Kingibe who even supported the annulment of the election, disregarding others who played a role because they don't belong the the right ethnic group, whih is Fulani or Yoruba.

Perhaps, Nigerians will soon ask Alhaji Bashir Tofa to go to court to stop the conferment of this award because the election was inconclusive. Mr. Kingibe at the time said he and Abiola did not win the election so what has changed 25 years later?

It appears Mr. Tofa was clearly rigged out in that election, which is why IBB cancelled the election in the first place, so he should not be afraid of approaching the courts.

Well it's normal for Buhari to ignore igbos but like it or not, the Nigerian story cannot be told without the igbos.

Nobody wants to tell the story of Nigeria without Igbos in it but it is time lgbos starts act like a real stakeholder in the country rather than some outsiders from Israel.

Babagana Kingibe also supported the annulment of the election. He said the election was inconclusive and that he and Abiola did not win. So, why is he being honored by Buhari? Is it because Kingibe is a fulani man?


CilicMarin:
Buhari doesn't recognize cowards. Prof Nwosu chickened out when it mattered. He refused to announce the remaining results, even when he was advised to relocate to the American embassy and do the needful.

So how do you expect a coward like him to be honored?

This June 12 thing is actually an image laundering thing for Buhari. He has been accused of undemocratic behaviour and this would only go on to make him look like a supporter of democracy which we know he is not. Buhari hated Abiola's gut. Please let us separate facts from sentiments:

First I read somewhere that it was meant to spite OBJ. No it was meant to spite IBB, it was IBB that annulled the election not OBJ so how does become the subject of spite. Buhari and IBB are still not friends. Buhari refused to shake IBB when they met at ASO rock immediately Abacha died. Abacha, David Mark and other high ranking soldiers threatened IBB not to handover to Abiola, Abiola and IBB were great friends and I see no reason why he wouldn't hand over to him. Abacha kept Abiola in captivity for almost five years, he hounded his family members and killed his wife. Abiola was denied good healthcare and was tortured till he was very ill and almost blind. Do you think IBB would have treated his bossom friend like this. Abacha even had him filmed while making love to his wife in incarceration. OBJ on the other hand didnt chose May 29 as democracy day, it was Abdulsalami that handed over to OBJ on May 29 and it has been the norm afterwards. OBJ had no say over the date.

The election was free and fair not because Prof. Nwosu was clinical but because Abiola was popular in the entire country hence there was no need for any friction. There was no violence nor fighting nor ballot snatching, it was a seamless exercise. It was only in the East that he didnt get enough votes (which is expected because he was Yoruba and automatically an outcast), even at that he still had a close margin to his opponent in that region. It had nothing to do with Nwosu's courage or wisdom. It was visible to the blind and audible to the deaf that Abiola was the winner.

I like your submission however wish to disagree with your last paragraph. The election was free and fair because Prof Nwosu took a clinical approach to the election. He was insistent and was determined to get the process through. No body could doubt Abiola’s popularity. He had invested in charity across the nation and beyond.
In the east, the voting pattern was not because “he was Yoruba and automatically an outcast”. No! It was because they had their own son as Vice President running in NRC. It’s was natural they voted for their own. Just like you admitted, the margin was close which means more Igbos voted for Abiola as well.
The entire event had something to do with courage. It had to do with integrity, it had to do with insisting on doing the right thing in the face of threat and intimidation. Prof Nwosu stood path and maintained that Abiola won the election.
The whole award is not about Buhari’s love for Abiola, democracy or the Yorubas. After all he worked for Abacha and worship him till date. A man that was a terror to the Yoruba and the nation. It’s about exploiting the political capital therein. To Prof Nwosu, he has no electoral value and so no need for honor. To kingibe, PMB must always live up to his nepotistic passion despite not meriting it.
This honor is going to blow a lot of thing out of Buhari control as more connecting demands would be made from it. As a whole, the Yorubas remain the winners. grin angry

I wonder why this this ppl are yet to realize that the Igbos are not in Buhari agenda. Check out the number of police recruited all over Nigeria according to geopolitical zone.
I amazed that plenty Igbos are still willing to vote him because he said he will hand over government to them after his tenure. They think some one that can't trust them with any political appointment can entrust the country to them.
You look at the Hausa and call him ewu, not knowing that he is laughing at the fact that the Igbo man is the most gullible in Nigeria.
As far as he is concerned if he can please the Yotubas and they vote him, the Igbos are useless to him.
So Nwosu can go to hell

If was/he is brave, he would have gone ahead and announce the result of the election. Despite threats by Goatluck's errand boy Orubebe, Attairu Jega still went ahead and completed the announcement of the election result and added that any party aggrieved should go to Court. If Humprey Nwosu was a honourable man, he would have announced the result of the election. But he was/is a coward, so he chickened out. For this reason, he deserved to be whipped at the market square.

Abiola didn't win much of southeast, it because he was an outcast as you claimed, but because An Igbo, SYLVESTER UGOH was a running mate to Tofa of NRC.
