Recent calls to immortalise Chairman of defunct National Electoral Commission, Prof Humphrey Nwosu has elicited a lot of reactions. While some believe he deserve a posthumous national honour as one of the heroes of June 12, 1993 presidential poll, others think otherwise. AdedayoAkinwale reports.
While so many things have been written concerning the June 12, 1993 presidential election — as the freest and most transparent in recent history of the country — most stories often center around the presumed winner of the election, late Chief MKO Abiola.
Ironically, Chairman of the defunct National Electoral Commission (NEC), late Humphrey Nwosu, whose ingenuity and his adoption of Open Ballot System popularly referred to as Option A4 in which voters queued up behind the symbol of the party of their choice to vote and to be physically counted, produced the undisputed election in the country.
