Ahmad
This week, the Nigerian people savoured the sweet taste of victory with the confirmation of Adams Oshiomhole as the governor of Edo State. It was a fitting riposte to the delusions which issue forth regularly from Maurice Iwu, the electoral czar, who refuses to accept that he superintended over the worst elections in the nation’s history. The Court of Appeal upheld the judgment of the Edo State electoral panel. The Nigerian people can rightly celebrate, because Adam’s victory is one which truly belongs to the people. It is the story of a man of very humble background who devoted a lifetime to working for the common people. It is the combination of origin and effort, which also explain why expectations will also be sky-high! I have reproduced today, are-edited version my piece of March 27, 2008, which was in response to the original judgment.
