This post describes a statement made by Professor Nnenna Oti, who is the Vice Chancellor of the Federal University of Technology Owerri and also serves as an INEC Presiding Officer in Abia State, Nigeria. In her statement, she declares that the will of the Abia State voters shall stand, and she will uphold the principles of good governance. She also mentions her personal commitment to doing what is right for God and man, citing her role as a pastor and mother.
The surprising part of her statement is when she reveals that the INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, had personally given her directives on guidelines to follow in ensuring that the Abia governorship election results were collated based on certain criteria. However, despite this directive, she has decided to prioritize the will of the voters and ensure that their mandate is not subverted under her watch.
To further support her decision, she asks the Administrative Secretary to read the message she received from the INEC headquarters in Abuja. This suggests that she has evidence of the directives she received and may have been trying to expose any attempt to subvert the election.
Overall, this post highlights the importance of upholding democratic principles and the need for individuals in positions of power to prioritize the will of the people over external pressures or directives.
