Rt. Hon. Deacon Chike Okafor, Ph.D, Member of the House of Representatives for Okigwe South Federal Constituency, has expressed deep sorrow over the loss of Prof. Humphrey Nwosu.

In a heartfelt tribute, Hon. Okafor described the deceased as a visionary leader whose work profoundly shaped Nigeria’s democracy. 

Prof. Nwosu, renowned for his role as chairman of the National Electoral Commission, led the historic June 12, 1993, presidential election, widely celebrated as Nigeria’s freest and fairest electoral process.

In his message, Hon. Okafor lauded Prof. Nwosu’s contributions to the electoral landscape, notably his introduction of the Option A4 voting system and the open ballot method, which established standards for transparency and fairness in the democratic process.

“Prof. Nwosu’s commitment to a credible electoral system set a benchmark that continues to inspire our nation,” Hon. Okafor said, emphasizing the enduring impact of Nwosu’s legacy.

Beyond electoral reform, Prof. Nwosu’s legacy extended into academia, where his tenure at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, inspired many and enhanced political science scholarship. 

His work there, Hon. Okafor noted, will continue to resonate among future generations and serve as a beacon of hope for a democratic Nigeria.

Hon. Okafor offered his condolences to Nwosu’s family and all who had the privilege of knowing him, conveying the shared sense of loss felt across Okigwe South.

“May his soul rest in peace, and may his legacy endure,” he added.

This statement signifies the widespread admiration for Prof. Nwosu’s contributions to Nigeria, both in public service and academia, and honors his commitment to advancing democracy and good governance.
