Buhari, your desperation to retain power is so strong.
One thing is certain, you might succeed in deceiving yoryuba Muslimns, but you can't deceive Yoruba Christians.
We Christian Yorubas will not vote for you in 2019.
We won't vote for someone who is busy killing our Christian brothers in north central because we all know that once you are done with northern Christians, you will face southern Christians, Yoruba Christians included during your second tenure.
God forbids.!

If Abiola is so special in Yoruba land as you want to paint it, why did my people reject renaming Unilag after him ?
Abiola has come and gone, we have our way of mourning and remembering him.

Terrorist Buhari, your antics is dead on arrival .

Is this a Yoruba or simply a Christian from East? grin

At all she doesn't sound like an omoluabi. She's just pained about the development and reason she cannot say anything reasonable aside Yoruba Muslim and Christian.

Pataricatering:
Lol ! Ijeoma is obviously not Yoruba ! She doesn’t even sound like an omoluabi!

Congrats to Abiola but this desperation is ill to the nation. How many Democracy day are we going to have? Is June 12 now a public holiday?

More importantly, why criminalise the remembrance of those that died in Biafra war fighting for their right while celebrate a man that died pursuing his dream?

...what is noble about mko?

June 12 is about Democratic franchise.

The people chose a man in national election, to lead them as their president. He won but the election was cancelled.

That the federal government finally recognizes that national victory and the democratic struggle that ensued and culminated in the 1999 return to democracy, is a thing to be celebrated by all Nigerians who cherish democratic franchise.

Abiola as the winner of that election, represented the will of the Nigerian people to make their own choice.

We do not know if he would have been a great or useless president, but the choice of the people was rejected by a few who had the power to trample on the rights of the majority.

Whether Abiola was a saint or not, the people chose him, and the people have a right to choose who would lead them.

The noble action that Obasanjo refused to take, was to recognize that day for its significance, and to formally acknowledge Abiola as winner of that election, even if not releasing the results officially. But he was too egoistic to do anything that would take away his own glory.

Once again, shame on IBB.

It is usual for pigidiotic IPod Osus and Ojukwus to be mad over this good news, as evident in the thread trail.

20years after we got what we have always been clamouring for. Masterstroke from PMB.

Obasanjo see your life. You should be ashamed of yourself. You failed to recognise June 12, you failed to construct Lagos Abeokuta road. Right under your nose, PMB is doing all that.

Sai.Baba till 2023. If you are pissed, consult the nearest 500KVA transformer.

When people say moronic things like Nigeria will not know peace I wonder if they live in space.. Smh
Paperwhite:
Yet the easterners set aside a day to honour its own heros that sacrificed to correct a national imbalance skewed mostly to the advantage of the core north & the government termed them terrorists
An attempt to pacified the Yorubas as 2019 comes close right? Nigeria will not know peace.

I hope this so not a move to get more vote from the SW in the next upcoming presidential election in 2019 ?
Even if it is, its a better gesture than the ineffectual Buffoon cum the Hero of Ogogoro renaming UNILAG to MAULAG to win Southwest votes grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin
This move also sends a backhand political slap to ObJ who had the opportunity to do this but failed

lol.
Anything for the votes.

I doubt it would change much.

Those that will vote for him will, those that won't will not.

I don't think a human being with functional brain cells will change his mind about buhari because of a mere holiday .

The good thing is that the man knows his catchment area and is doing his best to appeal to their sentiments.

He should not come and disturb us who despise him for votes in 2019. It is too late for anything to change.

He would do well to focus his electoral machinery in the South West .
