he should have followed his boss IBB instructions and not declared the results . The problem with the Igbo is always trying to do the right thing in Nigerian politics when everyone is doing the wrong one. When you are in Rome behave like the Romans. Humphrey Nwosu case should be a lesson and eye opener for every igbo person including the ones that never learnt any lesson from Ironsi foolery

Alexis11:
Lol like Maurice Iwu?

😂 😂 😂

hatchy:
Cowardice you say, just like Awolowo who drank "Otapiapia" to end it all instead of standing to fight on for what he believes in.
In Nigeria we know the tribe who are cowards.

Spit on your forefathers grave.

Alexis11:
Lol people knew the figures of all the results received from different states because it was more like an headcount because people had the figures announced through different media houses. Nwosu was not the reason why people had those figures. He failed to do the most important thing; declare the winner! And Babangida confirmed that was entirely his decision.

Tjra:
Sure he did.

His wrong decision alone is a great lesson for every leader, on how to live and die for the truth.

His life taught us how not to live a life of cowardice.

Nwosu received all the vote casted across the country, saw that Abiola was a clear winner, yet refused to declare Abiola the winner of that election because according to him, "some persons are after my life".

That's cowardice in it's pure form.

rinzaugustine:
If Nwosu had obeyed his boss IBB instructions and not released any results of that election by now nobody would ever mention Abiola won because if you do you are committing treason already. Humphrey Nwosu risked his life for nothing including almost being totured to death by soldiers at dodan barracks for disobeying Babangida over nothing . IBB could have comfortably announced tofa his fellow northerner as president and handed over power to him if not for what Nwosu did by announcing 2/3 of 26 states which showed Nigerians Abiola won those states

Spybradd:
One can stand up today and say that the South west people are the most despicable in Nigeria today...

They now heap June 12 and everything all of a sudden on the late Humphrey Nwosu and nothing to the northern generals...talk about real cowardice!
Same way they heap it all on Peter Obi as if he's the president...what a people!!!!


People know you guys hate the Igbos and I don't think they give a damm

Tjra:
Name all your children after him.

Or erect statues of him all over Alaigbo, na una sabi.

You've always been on the wrong side of history so this isn't new.

Eyyah, I'm a full blooded Hausa/Fulani, to your biggest dismay.

SonofElElyonRet:
It is exactly people like you who alienated Yorubas (Obi defeated Tinubu during presidential election in Lagos!) from Obi. Such comments including others like "Lagos is no man's land and belongs to no one" or "Lagos is smelling" or horrible personal attacks on Yoruba elders will make it almost impossible for Obi to win any future presidential election. You guys are just dividing opposition votes.

Tjra:
Sure he did.

SonofElElyonRet:
You can't exactly blame him for not announcing the results. He feared for his life. Life meant nothing under military governments

Oga stop ranting, go and look for food to eat before hunger ravaging your region finish you and your family.

If Mahmood Yakubu refused to declare Tinubu winner after having all the figures in 2023 according to the power the constitution confirmed on him, it's very likely that Tinubu will not be the president today. The PDP and LP supporters drama prior to formal declaration was to stop that final declaration because it's the most important aspect of the electoral process.

Imagine Yakubu refused to declare Tinubu winner of that election citing pressure from presidency/Buhari and Tinubu decided to declare himself the winner after few days, you already know what would have happened.

Nwosu refused to do the most important aspect of the assignment and many people still think it was deliberate.



Now you are talking. This is why Nwosu only deserved verbal recognition and one minute silence and nothing more.

OfoIgbo:
After Nzeogwu, no Igbo man in his right mind will stick out a neck for the Yoruba, after we experienced first hand, how Awolowo starved more than two million of the relatives of those that tried to install him as the president.

We thank God for the bravery of Prof. Nwosu, and profusely thank Nwosu for just following the constitution. If he had announced the winner like a tout, the same Abiola would have joined the north in blaming Igbos for the fracas that would have ensued.

Pazienza

kids of nowadays smh you probably thought he was announcing results from an IPHONE and have the liberty to start and stop anytime he wants…smh so if you were appointed INEC chief and your boss told you not to announce results you would have sneaked into NEC federal building in Lagos on a weekend and start announcing results like Nwosu did and when the soldiers heard the news on tv , rushed into the building, caught you with some journalists and ordered you to stop announcements of results with rifles cocked at you , so you would have continued? Doesn’t sound like common sense to me at all. What you mentioned in the first paragraph is exactly what happened to Abiola .He was equally more foolish than Humphrey Nwosu by going to announce himself president under Abacha and paid dearly with his life for his foolishness. If not for Nwosu announcement the only thing Abiola would have been remembered for today is being a man that committed treasonable felony and deservedly died for it
