His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, CON, joined other distinguished Igbo leaders and prominent Nigerians to bid farewell to the late Prof. Humphrey Nwobu Nwosu at Orumba North Local Government Area, Anambra State.
Prof. Nwosu, a former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), conducted the historic June 12, 1993, election, widely regarded as one of the most credible in Nigeria’s history. He was laid to rest in his hometown, Ajalli, Orumba North LGA.
The funeral service, held at St. Mark’s Anglican Church, Ajalli, was attended by an array of distinguished personalities, including the President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who was represented by the Minister of Works and former Governor of Ebonyi State, Engr. Dave Umahi, the Host and Governor of Anambra State, H.E. Prof. Charles Soludo, Governor of Abia State, H.E. Dr. Alex Otti, the 2023 Labour Party Presidential Candidate and former Governor of Anambra State, H.E. Mr. Peter Obi, former Deputy Speaker of House of Representatives and former Governor of Imo State, H.E. Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, Chief Emmanuel Okewulonu (Ikeoha); Nze Charles Onwunali, and several other notable figures.
The gathering was a testament to Prof. Nwosu’s enduring legacy in Nigeria’s electoral history and his contributions to democratic governance.
Sadly, the Senate of the Federal Republic turned down a motion to honour Professor Nwosu.
