"So, Prof. Maduebibisi Iwe, who is the leader of the Scripture Union Nigeria, every situation produces a hero. To an extent he is a hero, but he could have gone further; he should have gone further.
“If he were forced to announce something that was not in consonance with his belief, he should have opted out, maybe his courage failed him but at least he tried.
“This their ‘go to court, go to court’, which has become the mantra of electoral robbers in Nigeria, would have happened two days earlier if not for him, though it eventually happened.
