The Presidency said those united by the annulment of the 1993 presidential election are angry with President Muahmmadu Buhari for righting the wrong that nourished them.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, said this yesterday in an article titled “June 12 Tsunami and the Ones Who Won’t Forgive Buhari.”

He said among those people were men and women in the temple of justice, who used one subterfuge or the other to keep June 12 buried and its biggest symbol, the presumed winner of the election, MKO Abiola, in detention until his end was induced.

Shehu said those people were after what would happen to them since Buhari declared June 12 a national public holiday and honoured the heroes of the 1993 presidential election.

He said it was pretty obvious that the “unjust” annulment was a huge elite conspiracy, well beyond the schemes and machinations, for which the then Head of State, General Ibrahim Babangida, had established a formidable reputation.

The presidential spokesman said June 12 annulment was inspired and supported in spirit, cash and in kind by high-level citizens who saw an opportunity for themselves and cashed in upon it.

“Beyond the coterie of two dozen or so military officials whose names have been documented as literally having had a gun to the head of their Commander-in-Chief in trying to induce the annulment, there were tens, possibly hundreds of co-conspirators who either forced the annulment in one way or the other, or joined the sustenance of the injustice done to Abiola and Nigerian voters which, from then evolved into an industry of a kind, supplying incomes and conferring privileges of state upon those in the plot.

“Many have forgotten by now that an interim government was contemplated at that time and a number of retired army generals were on queue, having been invited to get ready to head it. There was the foremost social scientist of the Yoruba stock who prophesied to the then rulers, on the day the announcement of election results was suspended that “the Yoruba will not be angry with the Head of State if he will go ahead to annul the election,” Shehu said.

He said only Buhari could say whether or not there would be a probe of the annulment of the presidential election considered the fairest and freest in the nation’s history.

Na wA

APC don see us finish, see their new strategy to deceive Nigerians again, 2015 was CHANGE, 2019 is JUNE12 , i still can't understand why we de masses can not see beyond this mere political moves...

One day one lie, this people ve turn this country to comic and unserious country

Am afraid the south west will fall for this


APC is EVIL smart

As far as I am concerned Buhari is the principal actor and catalyst to events leading to June 12... If he had obeyed his military vows and the Nigerian constitution and not overthrown an elected constitutional govt of Shehu Shagari there would have been no June 12 in the first place ... While Buhari is contemplating whether to probe events leading to the annulment of June 12 elections he should also probe the events that led him to illegally overthrow a constitituted democratic govt when our constitution was clear on the legitimate ways a govt could be changed .

Whoever is angry on this must have Failed

papoudaupolos:

I can authoritatively tell you that no one is against June 12... You know how we love public holiday in this country... APC is just toying with the emotions of the people to get sympathy votes. . That's evil

The problem with a lot of you Igbos is that you are either completely naive or just pathetically foolish.

If the bunch of Igbo born throways never orchestrated the first coup on democratically elected government Buhari would never have learnt such skill so any one with a functional brain can understand if your complaint is about coup plotters, those that introduced it into the polity who happen to be led by some Igbo vagabond should be held accountable.

Yet unintelligent Igbos like you run your lousy large disgusting mouth everyday abusing those that only learnt from your evil and diabolical deeds.

Hmmm I wonder who served as Chairman PTF under Abacha after the June 12 debacle.

Tough question!

These men want to campaign 2019 on june 12

Buhari is simply using the June-12 debacle to score a cheap political point.

Buhari was among them. He was merely seeking for sympathy from the west.

Babangida nah. Shehu, please always call a spade a spade

the military vow was loyalty to Nigeria which he had demonstrated severally e.g the overcoming of maitasene sects but no sane patriot would sit by and watch while Shagari unleashed deliberate poverty on the nation caused by official brazen and unbridled stealing like the Umaru dikkos while the ordinary citizens are forced to bear the brunt of such recklessness in the name of austerity - an old word for recession. In few months, PMB stabilized the economy until drug barons who weren't happy about the orderliness PMB was bringing took over and plunged us to hell which reached a crescendo in 2014 when another recession visited us hence our plea for Dr Buhari to return to cure us of the recession maladies after 30 years of our first encounter with him. Like every good physician, though with some natural flaws unexpected of mortals ,PMB has been busy tackling the causes of these maladies .
If Buhari had not intervened ,shagari would have destroyed this nation and we would have been worse than Somalia. So we need to thank PMB .

They are mostly your fellow northerners na.

Blame game always

As if buhari wasn't one of those who worked against June 12

Shut up Mr Spin Dr......even the ghost of Abiola is angry with Buhari.... He never supported the June 12 struggle till now that he wants to score cheap political points with it


We will never forget the lives lost in Benue!
