Maverick politician, Senator Arthur Nzeribe, who played a major role in the abortion of the Third Republic is dead, says a report in The Nation quoting a family source.
According to the source, the family is preparing a statement to announce the death.
Nzeribe reportedly died last night, 36 days to the 29th anniversary of the June 12, 1993 election which he worked with the military to annul.
Reports say he had been on life support for a long time.
Nzeribe worked to perpetuate the military government of Gen. Ibrahim Babangida in power. He formed a group called the Association for Better Nigeria (ABN) in June 1993 canvassing for four more years for Babangida after the Junta abolished all political parties and created the two national parties, the National Republican Convention (NRC) and the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in 1991.
