The senator representing Kaduna Central at the Senate, Shehu Sani, has warned that the outcomes of the 2019 general elections are enough reasons why university lecturers should no longer agree to be election umpires in the country.In the light of the new revelations,University lecturers should pull out from participating in the conduct of national elections to save the reputation & protect the moral sanctity of the academia.The Ivory tower shouldn’t be smeared with political feaces.
Prof. Eme Awa, a professor of Political Science at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, was chairman of the National Electoral Commission of Nigeria , and was appointed by military President Ibrahim Babangida. He held office from 1987 to 1989, when he resigned due to a disagreement with Babangida. Prof. Okon Edet Uya was briefly chairman of the NECON, also appointed by Babangida after the presidential elections of June 12, 1993 had been annulled and his predecessor, Humphrey Nwosu, had been dismissed. A professor of History at the University of Calabar, Uya was appointed to conduct a new presidential poll after the annulment of the June 12, 1993 election.
His successor, Attahiru Jega, is a Nigerian academic and former Vice-Chancellor of Bayero University, Kano. On June 8, 2010, he was nominated by then President Goodluck Jonathan as the new chairman of INEC as a replacement for Prof. Iwu who vacated the post on April 28, 2010. Jega went on to oversee two Nigerian General Elections and remains the only INEC chairman to do so so far.
