The last may not have been heard about the peculiarities of the just-concluded 2023 General Elections.
While some people are still talking about the crisis and intimidations that characterised the elections in many parts of the country, there seems to be another news about happenings in Abia State, where the results of the governorship election was announced on Wednesday.
The news revolves around a businessman, who felt that a good act should be rewarded despite the negative reports that marred the elections in many states.
Steven Ukpabi, an Aba-based businessman, on Thursday, March 23, 2023 sprung a surprise as he gifted a brand new Prado jeep to INEC Returning Officer, Prof. Nnenna Oti, for her integrity, and refusal to compromise the Abia governorship election results.
He wrote, “For your outstanding service to the people of Abia, I hereby request for this Prado to be delivered to Mrs Nnenna Nnennaya Oti immediately.
Thank you for your service in Abia,” he stated.
But we were yet to be informed, as at the time of this report, if the woman accepted the gift as it might be seen to be a form of gratification, which is against the ethics of the job.
