*What if Humphrey Nwosu Rigged 1993 Presidential Election?*



Today, June 12 is our Democracy Day. As a young Nigerian, I voted for Chief MKO Abiola. And I witnessed the likes of Chief Olisa Agbakoba, SAN heavily brutalised by the Gen Sani Abacha's government for daring to stage a five-million-man-march in Lagos the same day the emperor was staging a two-million-man-march in Abuja that would have ushered in his transition from khaki to agbada leadership. Providence and divine intervention rescued a nation drifting away from sovereignty.

Today, we celebrate the efforts of resilient Nigerians, who stood up against injustice, insisting on a democracy Nigerians had desired by voting for a leader without caring about his ethnic and religious identity. Today, we celebrate that moment Nigerians desired for a truly united nation by choosing a philanthropist, who exhibited true nationalism without any sign of bigotry. Today, we celebrate the day Nigerians did not sell their votes but conscientiously stood in brotherhood despite the difference in tribe and tongue.

And today, we are celebrating because the man whose Option A4 was far more effective than BVAS engaged National Electoral Commission, NEC officials, who did not compromise because he NEVER compromised. Today, we have seemingly forgotten that hero, who insisted on announcing results state-by-state until the enemies of Nigeria brutally assaulted him and annulled June 12 election. And I ask, *_what if Prof Humphrey Nwosu, the NEC Chairman had rigged that election_ ;* what would today be remembered for? Somebody should ask Prof Mahmood Yakubu.
