An open letter circulating on social media sighted by our correspondent shows how some people, believed to be opposition are aggrieved over the outcome of the election. The open letter read thus :
Open Letter to OYSIEC Chairman Aare Isiaka Abiola Olagunju SAN!
Why did you compromise your integrity and hereafter with what will vanish?
Why did you not insist and tenaciously stick to the rule of law and due process?
You have lost all spiritual goodness and moral right to criticise any judgement of any court in Nigeria.
You have lost all moral authority to challenge any election in this country.
You can’t be a guest on radio to be asked to comment on good governance in this country.
Imagine if you had resigned and refused to bow to any pressures to announce the results of elections you yourself knew did not hold or marred with irregularities that were so manifest such that no reasonable electoral umpire would accept the results.
Why did you not remember your family? Why didn’t you think of tomorrow of your children?
Imagine if you had summoned courage to say you are a Muslim and you would not abandon Islamic injunction on justice and fairness.
Imagine if you had said you would not compromise your hereafter for wordly gains.
Let me ask you, are you poor? If you had resigned, would anger kill you?
You lost a very big opportunity to write your name in gold.
If you had refused to announce the results of that elections, your name would entered the Guinness Book of Records.
If you had resigned , you would have made history as an electrical umpire who refused to compromise.
If you had resigned , the international jobs would have come after you.
If you had resigned, you would have bagged national merit awards.
If you had done the right thing by resigning the federal government would have given you a national assignment..But you thought chairmanship of OYSIEC is the best and highest public office as a SAN.
You lack principles, you lack integrity and you rubbish your honour.
Shame on you.
