Abacha used his power and was adopted as the presidential standard flag bearer of all the political parties then, does that make him the choice of the masses? same thing is applicable to Abiola

Infoman51: Senator mumu

Maxymilliano: But how do you see the June 12 election in terms of electoral conduct and fairness?

The June 12 election because it was an open ballot and had only two parties which cut across tribal lines was one of the fairest elections ever held in this country. June 12 showed what a good government can do in an election. If IBB and Aikhomu wanted to tamper with the election, they could have tampered with the election, but they didn’t.
It was a free and fair election but what I am telling you is that the annulment that came later was the hand of Esau and the voice of Jacob. /

Afam4eva:
You said it yourself that he was adopted by the political parties and not the masses. MKO on the other hand was voted by the masses. The best case you guys can use against Abiola is that the election was rigged but every verifiable source proves otherwise.

Infoman51: Senator mumu

misterh: Abeg shey na true say MKO sank a shipload of bibles?

aremed: Everybody has history,mko might av done somtin bad,but he was generous to nigerians...wat has dis useless man done....stupid talk....bastard

Afrocatalyst: The truth is a lot of us Nigerians were inexperienced in d workings of a democratic govt as at that time. We only wanted a ray of hope that we were starting somtin beta dan militarian style of govt. Abiola was nt a clean man,dat we know,even then bt we had a choice to make as a nation,which had nt happened prior to dat time. And we made it. That's d point here,WE MADE A CHOICE. Show me an innocent man and I'll show you Jesus. No man is innocent and as such,karma catches up wit us all depending on how long enuff we live to experience it. Pls senator,let the dead have peace. We mark dis day nt because of the man nor his character as a man which was highly questionable,bt we mark dis day becos it was d first time we,as a nation, made a choice that we could say was fair to our votes. It was d day our votes counted, it was d day WE MADE A CHOICE.

Paspane: afam, are u trying to be on seun's good book: what's with this defending of yoruba this days. This man was worse than babangida and aboila combined yet you're extolling him. He wielded such an evil power even though he was not in office. Abiola's death was the best thing to have happened since rice and beans.

Afam4eva: Whether it was a payment of his evil deeds does not distort the fact that [b]he won the election and ought to be crowned. [/b]If the Nigerian populace decide to vote in satan as their president, who are we argue otherwise. We're in a democracy.

The same people who collected bribe from Abacha to kill June 12 and deny Abiola from becoming president, and the same people who protested against Abiola being immortalized with the University of Lagos, is still the same people coming out here today to rant about celebrating June 12 and honouring Abiola.
Where exactly do these people stand??
