In Prof Humphrey Nwosu’s book, Laying the Foundation for Nigeria’s Democracy: My Account of June 12, shocking details of how the best election in Nigeria was annulled, were revealed.
Although the National Commissioners by the end of May 1993 had concluded the tours of the various states within their zones and came back with favourable reports of our state of readiness for the election, I as the Chairman of the Commission, to ensure hitch-free elections, insisted that they must return to the field. Consequently, from June 7, 1993, all eight National Commissioners intensified the tours of the states in their respective zones. These tours were aimed at ensuring that all necessary preparations were in place for the election. They remained in the field from June 7, 1993, till a day or two after the election.

It is not in my habit to congratulate newly elected or appointed political officers, however, in the case of Enugu State, my attention was captured by the newly sworn-in executive governor, in the name of Governor Peter Mba, for his unprecedented bravery in becoming the first executive governors to issue an executive order at the very first day in office. Therefore l say a big congratulations to His Excellency and also to all citizens of Enugu State.
