President Goodluck Jonathan says late Justice Victor
Ovie-Whiskey Judge lived a very fulfilled life and left a
worthy legacy of commendable service to the nation.
Recalling late Justice Ovie-Whiskey's enormous
contributions to the nation as a judge and Chairman
of the Federal Electoral Commission, President
Jonathan believes his uprightness in managing the
Nigeria's electoral process in very challenging times
will stand to his eternal credit in the nation's history.
In his own message, Speaker of the House of
Representatives,Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal
described the death of Justice Victor Ovie-Whiskey,
as a great loss to the nation.
The Speaker said of particular interest to him is the
unassuming manner with which the deceased lived his
retirement life where he neither courted undue
publicity nor unwarranted controversy.
According to Tambuwal: "He was an icon of the legal
profession who served Nigeria selflessly as its Chief
Electoral Umpire. I remember him for his calm
disposition and mature contributions which helped
Nigeria's electoral process between 1980 and 1983
when the military took over power. "
