Senators under the aegis of south-east caucus led by Enyinnaya Abaribe, chairman of the caucus and senator representing Abia south, on Thursday, walked out of the chamber in anger, following the senate’s second rejection of a motion, to immortalise the late Humphrey Nwosu, the former chairman of the National Electoral Commission.
Addresing the press, the lawmakers asked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to honour Nwosu’s legacy.
Senator Abaribe said that he was surprised, that up to this moment, Humphrey Nwosu who conducted the fairest election in Nigeria’s history has not been recognised or honoured by the government of Nigeria.
The Lawmakers who rejected the motion to immortalize the late Humphrey Nwosu debated passionately on the motion on the floor of the Senate.
Solomon Adeola, the lawmaker representing Ogun West, said the late Humphrey Nwosu failed to salvage Nigeria’s democracy during the annulled election.
Adeola claimed that he lost his brother due to the events of June 12 and insisted that Nwosu did not deserve recognition.
Senator Adams Oshiomhole also rejected the motion to immortalize Humphrey Nwosu, he argued that Nwosu and the then military head of state, Ibrahim Babangida, deceived Nigerians by conducting the June 12 election, only for it to be annulled.
