The Viewers Corner News team will continue to applaud Professor Nnenna Oti of the Federal University of Owerri in Imo State, Nigeria, who was the Independent National Electoral Commission Chairperson years back in Abia State. She played a significant role in making sure she upheld the truth after the governorship election that brought Governor Alex Otti to power.
Despite various attempts by some corrupt politicians in Nigeria to bribe her so that she could change the election result to favour their candidate who did not win the election, she stood her ground as a great woman of integrity. She rejected every bribe and threat and went ahead to announce the governorship election result as people voted.
That singular act, till today, is the reason Abia State has become one of the best states in Nigeria, because the man who won the governorship election was not a corrupt man. This means that the promises Dr. Alex Otti made to the people of Abia State during his election campaign to make the state great were real.
Today, Abia State is thriving, and the people are happy with the progress they are seeing from their governor, Dr. Alex Otti. Again, thanks to Professor Nnenna Oti, who made it possible for the people of Abia State by announcing the election result correctly.
Nigeria would be great if Professor Nnenna Oti, or someone like her, is made the Independent National Electoral Commission Chairperson. We say this because getting it right in Nigeria must begin with the Independent National Electoral Commission, where free and fair elections are conducted, and the results are announced as Nigerians voted.
