The late Prof Humphrey Nwosu was a man of integrity, honour and character whose position as the chairman of the defunct National Electoral Commission (NEC) was defined by patriotism, sacrifice and commitment to Nigeria’s democratic and political development.
His introduction of Option A4 was novel and a defining moment in Nigeria’s electoral history as it promoted transparency.
At the annulment of June 12 and its attendant logjam, Nwosu remained a crusader for national integration and social justice even at the risk of his life.
At 83 years he died a national hero and shall be so remembered by all Nigerians of good conscience.
I pray God give his immediate family and loved ones the strength to bear this huge loss. May his soul rest in peace.
