This title is not original.

On his first day as the Chief Executive Officer, he recalled, he arrived the office, ready to begin work from his assigned office.

10 days after the vote and with final results still to be announced, Babangida’s second-in-command, Augustus Aikhomu, sent out a hand-written release by his press secretary, Nduka Irabor, announcing the nullification of the election.

So, the ING was unconstitutional.
