The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has lauded President Bola Tinubu for recognising and honouring Prof. Humphrey Nwosu, requesting him to name the Independent National Electoral Commission Headquarters after him
The National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Dr Ezechi Chukwu, stated this while reacting to Tinubu’s June 12 speech and conferment of posthumous honours to late Nwosu
Tinubu on Thursday conferred the Commander of the Order of the Niger award on Nwosu. Chukwu described the gesture as a welcome development, saying the Federal Government had done the needful by honouring Nwosu,
”The idea of honouring him is welcomed, though it is late, but at least we appreciate the fact that he has been honoured”
“It is also our desire that INEC Headquarters should be named after Prof Humphrey Nwosu for the virtue of his role in Nigeria’s democracy during the military,”
Chukwu said the request should be granted by FG because Nwosu made a generational sacrifice with real courage by upholding the mandate of Abiola.
