Unilag as a monument could have been a more befitting legacy,GCFR is just title but sectional politics and hatred for GEJ blinded those now hailing this phantom award.

ademoladeji:


Let's not heat the polity.

UNILAG remains one of the best institutions in this land. It wasn't a bad try to name it after MKO. We have OAU for Awo, UNN for Zik, ABU after AB, ATBU for Tafawa Balewa. Why can't be have MAULAG after MKO? Is the name UNILAG too sacred to be changed?

How could anyone possibly compare the renaming of a renown physical brand (UNILAG) to the ceremonial adjustment of a public holiday?

Reuben Abati has written many words but glossed over the most important.

Buhari is just being cynical and political in acknowledging Abiola as a political hero. We refuse to accept Buhari as an arbiter of progressive political judgement in Nigeria. Where was he in 1993 and since then ? He should go and declare a national day for Abacha his friend 'who never stole'

This pronouncement is meant to achieve three things:

1. Cast the annulment of June 12 in bad light (we already know it was a blunder) and gain political advantage

2. Throw a shade at Obj who steadfastly refused to honor Abiola and the legacy of June 12

3. Ingratiate his government with progressives ahead of 2019

Buhari is no democrat and we don't need his nonsense holiday - oh, I forget, there is no holiday, it just mere recognition. Buhari harbors in his government, Babagana Kingibe who abandoned his mandate in 1993 and has metamorphosed into a skillful looter in 2018. I would not be surprised if he had a hand in this charade.
Tinubu and his friends should hide their heads in shame. In their quest for political power they have baptised Buhari and declared him a sinner no more. Indeed, he is now a saint. The guardian angel of Nigerian democracy.

All hail the redeemer, the Whitewalker, the progressive Buhari.

Rubbish. We are waiting for you in 2019 sir.

You better start saving for handkerchiefs that you will use to wipe MORE of your soappy tears.

IamaNigerianGuy:

[s]RADA RADA, how old are you? even the OMO ITA did a better job of democracy struggles than mere NOISE MAKERS like you.
Go to Yaba, Ikorodu road, Mushin, Lagos Island, and other hotbeds of June 12 struggle with a placard, just write " BLEEP MKO, BLEEP JUNE 12 " and see if your parents will NOT buy a coffin[/s].
