Former  Chairman of INEC Abel Guobadia is dead.He died today in his Benin home at the age of 79. .Guobadia retired into a quiet life, but once in a while   he delivered lectures on elections  in Nigeria.

The late INEC boss was succeeded by the now infamous Professor Maurice Iwu.All criticisms of the Guobadia era paled into insignificance following the barefaced outlawry which characterised elections especially in 2007 during the era of Iwu.

May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
