From facts, the presidential election was held on the said date, the first since the 1983 military coup ended the country's Second Republic. This was a transitional process from military rule to civilian rule.
Security expert, Dr. Ona Ekhomu, has advised Nigerian politicians to imbibe the traits of servant leadership and selflessness that defined the life of Rear Admiral Ndubisi Kanu. Kanu was a former military administrator of Imo State from 1976 to 1977 and Lagos State from 1977 to 1978.
Ekhomu, national president of the Association of Industrial Security and Safety Operators of Nigeria (AISSON), described the passage of Admiral Kanu as a “great loss to the nation,” adding that Nigeria had lost a pillar of democracy. He further described Kanu as a committed and selfless leader who loved Nigeria without mental reservation and worked to enthrone democratic governance.
