JUNE 12: THE DREAM FULFILLED.HIP HIP HIP HURRAY!!!

On the faithful day of June 12, 1993. Millions of Nigerians are on the march again looking for Mr. President, with full hope and optimistic exodus hope of wrestle power from Military junta the evil genius General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida who had promised heaven and earth that his two party system of government is the hope of every Nigerian and alternative to military rule which had taken Nigerians hostage for over two decade after the abortion of first republic.
Nigerian are highly elated to elect a new leader that will lead us to the promise land.The hope was high, the future was bright and the aspiration was great.
The hope was in a man the most popular Nigerian, a philanthropy, business mogul, most generous man without tribal or religion sentiment.
The man was no other person but the richest black man on the surface of the earth Bashorun, Aare Onakakanfo of Yoruba Empire, MOSHOOD KASIMAWO OLAWALE (MKO) ABIOLA.
June 12 was the day of destine changing for the country which has suffered bitterly in the hand of Military junta. The stage was set, the joyful people went out to vote for their choice and hope for new Nigeria. After the election celebration every where. The chant of MKO! MKO!! MKO!!!rented the air as the NEC released the result of the election. Abiola was leading with wide margin from South/south to South/East, from South/West to far North against his opponent from NRC BASHIR TOFFA, everywhere was charged with joy, hope and happiness that the dream finally comes true. But alas! the hope was cut short with the sudden announcement from the evil genius and the commander in chief of Arm forces the then Military head of state GEN. IBRAHIM BADAMOSI BABANGIDA who declare the best and the most peaceful election in the history of Nigeria as non and void and thereby annulled.
The announcement was a turning point in the political history of Nigeria, sadness everywhere, the hope of a new Nigeria was slaughtered in the slab of injustice. First time in the history of Nigeria after civil war Nigerian was throwing into pandemonium, civilian resistance against the tyrannical Military junta came into action. Protest and riot all over the land, people faced soldier gun, youth matched out with full force to defend their vote and called for reversal of the annulment, things fell apart and the center can no longer hold. Killing and Mayhem of masses everywhere, bodies of rioters littered the street of lagos, most of pro June 12 activists were arrested, imprison or killed and the expectation of unity of Nigeria that the June 12 election connoted turned into bloodshed, hatred and disunity. The country was divided on tribal and religion line. Pan Yoruba resistance group OPC was formed to fight for their son and coalition of activist groups under the edge of NADECO was born all aiming to wrestled power from Military. Songs of war everywhere. In the process IBB resigned and the interim government was installed which does not last before another coup was announced and ushered in another most tyrannical military rule of GEN. SANNI ABACHA who was a ruthless trigger loved General. He ordered the killing and imprisonment of any perceived enemy or pro June 12 activists. Many were jailed and many were hacked to dead in the name of fighting for actualization of June 12 mandate.
ABACHA ordered the arrest of MKO and he was detained in prison till his death on 7th of July 1998. While ABACHA died a month earlier.
Since the annulment of June 12, Nigeria had failed to unite as a single indivisible country and all those who united against the masses of Nigeria and truncated June 12 were the first beneficiary of democracy. Majority of them join PDP and oppressively ruled over the people for 16 years the like of PRESIDENT OLUSEGUN OBASANJO who was reported to have said "ABIOLA is not the Messiah Nigeria is looking for". BRIG.GEN. DAVID MARK who was part of the Military Junta who threaten to kill ABIOLA if IBB should dare to announce him as the winner of the election. He is in the senate since 1999 and served as the Senate President for 12 years and many more.
The demand of Pro June 12 activists after the demised of MKO ABIOLA is to recognize him and announce him as the winner of the June 12 election and recognize him as the late President and also to recognize June 12 as a democratic day. This request was turned down by all the democratically elected President since 1999 under PDP lead government. But to the great suprise of all human right and pro June 12 community on June 6th 2018 President Muhammad Buhari took the bull in the horn and announce June 12 as a democratic day against the hypocritical May 29 recognized by Obasanjo, Yaradua and Jonathan PDP 16 years administration.
The victory is dedicated to Chief Gani Fawehinmi, Alfred Rewani, Abraham Adesanya, Beko Ransom Kuti, Alex Ibru, Sulyat Adedeji, Lam Adesina, Kudirat Abiola and others who had paid the supreme price. And those who are alive to witness the victory are:Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Pro. Wole Soyinka, Femi Falana, Femi Aborisade, Balarabe Musa, Sheu Sanni, Amitolu Shittu, Waheed Lawal, Obayuwan, Segun Sango, Small Pikin, Shina Odugemi, Sohetan, Debo Adeniran, Lanre Suraj, Segun Mayegun, Omoyele Sowore, Adam Adeniyi, Sulaiman Adeniyi,Adeoti Kamaru, Abu Jihad Waheed Saka, Charles Adeyemi and others.
Today is a day of achievement and fulfillment of long awaited dream realization for all activist who fought for June 12 both dead or alive
Today is a day of victory against Military Junta and their hypocritical supporters
Today is a day of Justice, hope and opportunity
Today is the day of Brotherhood and nationalist
Today is the day of victory for the oppressed masses of Nigeria
Today is dedicated to all heroes of democracy.
HIP! HIP!! HIP!!! HURRAY.

this a victory to democracy, June 12 really our democracy day. MKO abiola brought us this democracy we are all enjoying now. No matter what the wailers and the opposition said about this I think no sane Nigerian will said that what the president do was not the best for this country of ours. May the soul of MKO abiola rest in peace with that of Gani Fawehinmi with all those that suffered in the hands of the military all in the name of June 12.God bless Nigeria our dear country.

Glory be to the Almighty and kudos to President buhari for remembering June 12 and making it historical in Nigeria democracy

am happy that this came through when nobody expected it,this is a great achievement on the part of Buhari,this alone has made me respect this man the more,wowwww imagine what a party cannot achieve in 16years,someone achieved that in less than 3years,i voted APC in 2015 and am not dissapointed,walahi am going to cast my vote for APC come 2019,Insha allah APC till 2023

President MUHAMMADU BUHARI has taken a very good and bold step and taken all glory by conferring GCFR honour on MKO ABIOLA and declaring JUNE 12 as Nigeria democracy day which are well deserved. history will never forget BUHARI because his right step has won the heart of so many NIGERIANS with their right senses. if we see anybody criticising what BUHARI did that person brain need to be examined at next available psychiatric hospital

Thanks to the President for this wonderful step. June 12 is the real democracy day, a day of hope and justice for us. This is a great fulfillment and achievement of long waited dream that comes to actualization. This is highly and greatly commendable and appreciated.

its so sad that we celebrate those who do not deserve to be celebrated,pdp was in power for good 16years and couldn't recognise chief MKO Abiola,even with a president from a yoruba land and took someone from daura 3years to do the needful....i think president Buhari deserve some accolades...MKO was/is a hero........am really happy for the yorubas

Finally,our own MKO the acclaimed winner of JUNE 12 1993 election has been declared the winner by PMB.thank you PMB,am sure there is a great joy in heaven for finally we got the victory.this is a giant and bold step taking by the president

This honor giving to MKO at this time really speaks great meaning to the History of Nigeria and help those who as bin asking what June12 is all about and it will also help people to know the past History n know where we are getting wrong we cant but appreciate this present Administration for doing this right thing at the right time

WAO !!! the celebration is ongoing everywhere now ...In fact ,Buhari has made a new history in this administration...Obasanjo in his time has the opportunity to recognised this fact but he refused,,,,It is not too much if Abiola's is named after a university or a stadium in the country..Kudos to PMB...

History will never forget itself, the dream of many years, the hope of many, expectation fulfill. infact President Buhari has really break the yolk of this chain, and history will never forget you sir. Now am seen some people will begin to develop heart attack now, the corps they once buried is beginning to leak out, the suffocation might kill them.

The news came like a flash of a thunderstorm as it was unexpected, it was a great masterstroke from President Buhari and it shows no matter how long it may be justice can only be delay but can never be denied, it shows Nigeria is worth dying for afterwards as against some people's believe that the country is not worth dying for. It's only the people of the new generation that can never see the importance of this declaration, those who died for this cause will be happy in heaven that they didn't die in vain with this declaration, rest on oh beloved M.K.O ABIOLA......#ForeverInOurHeart #MKOLivesForever

Woah this is really wonderful. Kudos to Mr President

June 12 an historical day that will not be forgotten in our history. Good for democracy, good for Nigerians and good for MKO.

This is a great achievement towards democracy in the country. The Buhari led administration has indeed shown a positive body language towards making democracy work.

Is this the end of Odua republic then
Yoruba been looking for a way to shout one nigeria cause they want to feed fat on Niger Delta oil

About the democracy we enjoy
Shagari time was what?
Who finance the military coup of 1983 same thief Abiola

I still cant believe this happened in our days,we are alive to see this prophecy fulfilled,june 12 a day that speaks volume,a date that nigerian will always remember their sweats and cries i am happy and also thank the president PMB for this .....long live nigeria

Though the recognition of the date was a good idea, by Mr President, He expressed suspicion that it was meant to garner votes from a section of the country, and that it negated the spirit behind it. But while some criticize the move, I commend Buhari, it is altogether a welcome development.

This move is highly commendable. Better late than never. MKO was a man who died on what he believed. Few men do that. But I hope that the family of MKO will benefit maximally from this move?

At last. What a former lousy leader could not do to even his kinsman as a mark of honor. Congrats Abiola Family, congrats Kingibe family and congrats Fawehinmi family. Thanks to the stateman and leader of modern Nigeria, PMB.

The Yoruba people are proud of Mr president.... Shame on I.B.B who annulled the most freest,fairest and credible election in our history,shame on obj for not declaring June 12 as democracy day all the years he served.
