In Prof Nwosu, A True Democrat Exits.

I have just received the sad news of the death of the former Chairman of the National Electoral Commission, NEC, Prof Humphrey Nwosu.

Prof Nwosu was a true Democrat, an outstanding academician whose love for democracy and its values was copiously demonstrated in the way and manner he carried out his responsibilities as an electoral umpire between 1989 to 1993.

His courageous defense of democratic principles, even under a non-democratic government, put him out as a man who was ready even to sacrifice his life for the sake of democracy and good governance.

For his pivotal role in holding and upholding the 1993 presidential elections, Prof Nwosu’s name will remain indelible in the history of Nigerian democracy. He stood for the truth In Nigeria for standing for the truth and the best tenets of democracy when it was delicate and even dangerous to do so.

It’s, however, disheartening to note that what Prof Nwosu did when the nation’s electoral commission was not even legally independent and when billions of taxpayers' money were not deployed as it is today with an accompanying updated technology could not be repeated in contemporary times in a supposed full democratic system.

As an academic, Prof Nwosu brought to bear all the principles he taught in the classroom as an erudite professor of Political Science, unlike these days when professors are procured to aid electoral malpractices, including announcing results of elections they did not verify.

For the new Nigeria we desire, the country needs more of Professor Nwosu, who will risk their lives for democracy.

I pray God to forgive his shortcomings while on earth, grant his soul eternal repose, and his family and all lovers of democracy who mourn him the gratitude to bear the huge loss.

May God Almighty grant Nigeria the likes of Professor Humphrey Nwosu in her future elections.

A new Nigeria is indeed POssible. -PO

Peter Obi

This man defied the military Junta having the likes of IBB, Abacha, David Mark, and other desperate military hawks of the inglorious military era( even @ the threat of his life) to start announcing the results of the watershed June 1993 presidential election that MKO Abiola clearly won.

Even if the same election was truncated by the then military with the likes of Arthur Nzeribe, and the infamous Daniel Kanu( Youth Earnestly Asked for Abacha-YEAA), It took the determination of Igbos like the legendary R.Adr Ebitu Ukiwe, R.Adr Ndubuisi Kanu and their non-military democrats to fought courageously for the actualization of the June-12 mandate while the like of Walter Ofonagoro, Ebenezer Babatope, Wole Oyelesi and others were the betrayers therein.

Peter Obi and his theatrics

Because he is an Igbo man, those who claim to hold "June 12th" so dear will never celebrate the man

Yet without the man, there would be no June 12th today

This man fought to ensure that the main fulcrum or pivot democracy stands upon - free, fair and credible election- June 12 1993 election was enforced to the letter. He staked his life against the Babangida's government to start announcing the results. This is what your heroin drug lord have destroyed today.

[quote author=NLCreator post=126854133]Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, has defended the purchase of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for members of the national assembly.

There have been reports that the leadership of the 10th national assembly has bought SUVs for all lawmakers.

Each SUV is said to be valued at N160 million.

The LP had asked members of the party in the national assembly to kick against “wastage”.

While responding to questions during a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the former governor of Anambra said the SUVs are not personal cars of the lawmakers, noting that they are for official use.

“Let me start with the issue of Labour Party members in the house. I have actually discussed this issue with them,” Obi said.

“Surprisingly, I can tell you I heard that these vehicles are official cars. They have to use it. It is meant for office.

“So it is not as if it is their vehicle. They said it is official cars and you are meant to use it while you are in the senate.”

Obi also hinted at contesting for the country’s number one position in 2027, adding that Nigeria deserves dedicated and visionary leaders who will lead the country towards a brighter future.
