Gen. Sani Abacha did the nation good by annuling the June 12 elections.
Imagine how M.K.O Abiola would have looted Nigeria if he had been sworn in as President.

Professor Humphry Nwosu was a foolish man who couldn't see the big picture from Abacha's perspective.

Abiola was poised to win.
But only a few knew, M.K.O Abiola being President would have been a monumental disaster.

How please?

You goofed: Abacha didn't annul that election, IBB did.

So are you telling us that the decision of those few guys who annulled the election was better than the collective decision of all Nigerians that voted for MKO?

He is a Lilly livered cowardly pigidiotic Osu like the sissy bandit leader Ojukwu.


If it was Jega, he would have damned all consequences to release the result. That is bravery

Can't blame Abacha alone.
Some Yorubas were actively working against MKO's emergence as President because of what MKO did to Awolowo.
they were not working against him,they were working against Nigeria. all Nigeria voted for him period.they wasted our time n money

All these men were friends. Osibanjo's father-in-law said, Abiola selected some people to be in Abacha's cabinet. What made their friendship sour is power and greed.

The main actor in the June 12 debacle is MKO Abiola. Humphrey Nwosu was just an umpire.

Re: Professor Humphrey Nwosu's Account Of The Annulment Of The June 12 1993 Election by Tecno66: 1:54pm On Jun 08, 2018
But Nawa o. Nzeribe, Akpamgbo, Nwosu. All the main actors are.........
naptu2:
Professor Humphry Nwosu was the chairman of the National Electoral Commission (NEC) that conducted the June 12, 1993 elections. He is known for transforming Nigeria’s voting system by introducing the open ballot system and then the modified open ballot system (secret open ballot). Professor Nwosu succeeded Professor Eme Awa as chairman of NEC in 1989 and served until NEC was dissolved in 1993.


There were many rumours in the days after the election was annulled. Some people said that President Babangida had placed Professor Nwosu under house arrest to prevent him from releasing the results. Some others claimed that Professor Nwosu went into hiding and that soldiers were searching for him. Well, the best way to find out what happened is to hear from the horse’s mouth. Here is Professor Nwosu’s account of the events that occurred in June 1993.

Summary

1) His reaction when he heard about the court order that the election should not go ahead.

2) The military was divided into pro-Abacha and pro-election groups.

3) How he heard about a meeting of the National Defence and Security Council and gate crashed the meeting.

4) How the Abacha group tried to convince Babangida to cancel the election.

5) How he convinced Babangida that the election must go on.

6) The process of releasing the election results

7) How he heard about a court order that barred him from releasing the results.

8 ) General Abacha shouted at him and accused him of conducting the election despite the fact that there was a court order that the election should not hold.

9) How he heard that NEC had been disolved while he was preparing to challenge the court order.

that is a blatant lie, a thousand Jegas would not have dare the military regime in power. maybe u did not understand d write up, all the result had been announced, remaining just a state. before the court hearing that would have adjudicate and declare the winner of the election NEC was dissolved. please cogitate before calling Nwosu a coward cos he did well.
