In addition to applauding President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for recognising Prof. Humphrey Nwosu posthumously, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has called for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Headquarters to bear his name..CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
This view was stated by Dr. Ezechi Chukwu, National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, in response to President Tinubu’s June 12 speech in which he presented the late Nwosu with a national honour.
Prof. Nwosu oversaw the historic June 12, 1993, presidential election, which is generally considered to be Nigeria’s most free and fair and was won by Chief Moshood Abiola, according to Vanguard, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN). President Tinubu presented Prof. Nwosu with the Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON) award during his Democracy Day speech on Thursday. Dr. Chukwu said the acknowledgement, which acknowledged Nwosu’s bravery and sacrifice in upholding Abiola’s democratic mandate, was praiseworthy but long overdue. “We are grateful that Prof. Nwosu has finally received recognition from the Federal Government.
However, in honour of his crucial contribution to Nigeria’s democratic struggle under military control, we demand that INEC Headquarters be named after him,” Chukwu stated. He also emphasised the nation’s persistent economic difficulties, pointing out that Nigerians are still beset by high living expenses, inflation, and fluctuating exchange rates. He asserts that the burden on citizens has not yet been lessened by federal government changes. Citing the little authority state governors have over the security sector, Dr. Chukwu emphasised the necessity of fundamental restructuring to solve both economic and security challenges. He maintained that devolution of power, resource control, and true federalism would promote healthy state rivalry and boost national development.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
