JUNE TWELVE IN NIGERIA

June twelve, a remarkable day
Nineteen ninety-three,everyone had a say
It was indeed our true democracy
Everyone voted even the aristocracy
MKO won,this is not fancy


It was the first in our history
Later annulled after his victory
IBB had betrayed the citizens
This was done for no reason
MKO,threatened with prison


Shonekan was made interim president
Until IBB returns as resident
Abacha,who came from behind
Ruled the nation without his mind
Detaining people, even the hinds


MKO refused to quit for no reason
Abacha charged him for treason
After the death of Abacha in June
Everyone thought MKO would rule
Few weeks later we had the blues


Alas! MKO finally bit the dust
A philanthropist everyone would trust
All over the nation, there was unrest
Especially in Lagos, no one could rest
July seven massacre all over the west


The whole tragedies based on June twelve
Nigerian libraries were furnished with shelve
Our democracy, no longer may
June twelve is indeed our freedom day
Great Nigerians, let us pray.
