 Otti Slams Julius Abure Over Continued Sale of Labour Party Nomination Forms Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, has strongly criticised the former National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Julius Abure, for proceeding with the sale of governorship nomination forms despite opposition from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and subsisting court rulings. The criticism follows a viral photograph showing Abure presenting a Labour Party nomination form to a former National Vice Chairman of the party, Ceekay Igara, in the company of other party members. Reacting through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Ukoha Ukoha, Governor Otti questioned Abure’s continued claim to leadership of the party.  Ukoha insisted that both judicial pronouncements and INEC’s position have effectively sidelined Abure, describing his actions as being in contempt of court. “I think Abure is in a better position to explain the grounds on which he is still parading himself after a Federal High...

SENATE REJECTS PROPOSAL TO RENAME INEC HEADQUARTERS AFTER HUMPHREY NWOSU. (PHOTO).


 

The Nigerian Senate has rejected a motion to rename the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) headquarters after the late Prof. Humphrey Nwosu, the former chairman of the defunct National Electoral Commission (NEC). Nwosu oversaw the June 12, 1993, presidential election, a pivotal moment in Nigeria's democratic history.


Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe re-sponsored the motion on Thursday, calling for posthumous national honors to be conferred on Nwosu. However, the proposal sparked intense debate among lawmakers, with opinions sharply divided on Nwosu's legacy.


Some senators, like Osita Ngwu and Austin Akobundu, defended Nwosu's contributions, arguing that he operated under a restrictive military regime and deserved recognition for his role in Nigeria's democratic evolution. Ngwu noted that Nwosu's inability to announce the election results was due to the circumstances, saying, "There was no way he would have announced the results with a gun to his head."


On the other hand, senators like Jimoh Ibrahim, Cyril Fasuyi, and Sunday Karimi opposed the motion, questioning Nwosu's courage and decision-making during the election. Fasuyi argued that "history does not reward efforts, only results," emphasizing that Nwosu's failure to announce the results outweighed his efforts.


After intense deliberation, the majority of senators rejected the motion through a voice vote. However, they agreed to honor Nwosu with a one-minute silence and extend condolences to his family, effectively dismissing the other prayers to immortalize him.
