Senator Adams Oshiomhole has knocked the former Chairman of the defunct National Electoral Commission (NEC), Humphrey Nwosu, for his role in the June 12, 1993 presidential election.
The election, said to be one of the freest and fairest in the annals of the nation’s history, is believed to have been won by the late businessman and industrialist, Moshood Abiola, of the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
32 years later, Oshiomhole, who represents Edo North in the National Assembly, faulted Nwosu for not declaring the result of the election he presided over.
He argued that heaven would not have fallen if Nwosu made the move, stressing that in the worst case scenario, the military junta of General Ibrahim Babangida (rtd) would have imprisoned or killed him. (Channels)
