12 June 2019
Whenever l feel l should join other well meaning Nigerians to show my utter dismay over the annulment of June12, the death of Dele Giwa, Maman Vatsa, and the ceaseless murder of other journalists that characterized the IBB junta; l quickly think about the number of people who commit suicide, those who die of hunger on a daily basis, victims of Herdsmen clashes, Boko Haram under Buhari or the number of people who died of insurgents’ attacks and grapevine corruption under GEJ, the souls that were lost to the Odi & Zaki Biam massacre in Bayelsa & Benue states, victims of numerous plane crashes under OBJ, the endless fleecing & racketeering of the CBN by Abacha & his boys you will realize that all of them have stains of blood & affliction on them except Yar'Adua.
There is no child born in the late 1980s or early 90s and upwards who hasn't been told about the June 12 annulment by IBB and his cohorts. No matter how angry l become, l remember that IBB started & completed the Jibia Dam & Water Irrigation Projects, monumental infrastructure such as the Aso Rock Villa, National Assembly Complex, ICC, 3rd Mainland bridge, National Secretariat Structures, life enhancements programs such as FADAMA & the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP) amongst others he put in place for Nigeria I conclude his worst was the annulment and his best is critical infrastructural development of Nigeria.
No man is without sin. The Nigerian state & families of some of the people affected must forgive IBB and pray for repose of President MKO Abiola's Soul.
