Today is June 12, a day that South-West states have celebrated since 1999 as their own Democracy Day, and the Federal Government has adopted for celebration as Democracy Day throughout Nigeria. This years marks the first time it will be celebrated nationwide.

The undisputed Hero and Icon of the day is the Millionaire Business Mogul and Presidential Candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Bashorun Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola. He had as his Running Mate, Ambassador Baba Gana Kingibe. Running on the ticket of the rival National Republic Convention (NRC) in the two horse-race was Kano Businessman, Alhaji Bashir Tofa, who has Dr. Sylvester Ugoh as his Running Mate.

In an election that local and international observers adjudge as the best ever in Nigeria, Abiola won with 8,341,309 (58.36%) votes to Tofa’s 5,952,087 (41.64%). However, General Ibrahim Babangida surprised the entire nation and the world by annulling this highly credible election.
In the fight for the revalidation of his mandate, Abiola was arrested and detained by General Sani Abacha, and he died in detention in 1998.

Who are your heroes and villains of the entire June 12 episode?

My personal list will read as follows:

HEROES

MKO Abiola
Kudirat Abiola
Alfred Rewane
NUPENG
Frank Kokori
Nigerian Masses
Nigerian Media
NADECO
OPC
Dan Suleiman
Colonel Umar Kangiwa
Frederick Fasehun
Wole Soyinka
Gani Fawehinmi
Ayo Opadokun
Adekunle Ajasin
Walter Carrington
Arthur Nwankwo
Chukwuemeka Ezeife
Sam Mbakwe
C.C. Onoh

VILLAINS

General Ibrahim Babangida
General Sani Abacha
Baba Gana Kingibe
Tony Anenih
Paschal Bafyau

Its wickedness for anybody that is enjoying the gain of this democracy today not to recgonize PROF. HUMPHREY NWOSU. He declared the June 12 election against all odds. If he had not announced the election results there wont be any June 12 for us to celebrate. He is the unsung HERO.

MKO was a great man but couldn't attain his self actualisation before death made him to become a lost spanner in the toolbox of life
Re: Happy Democracy Day: Who Are Your Heroes And Villains Of June 12? by pbet: 3:28pm On Jun 12, 2019

Though I am not a Hero

jaxxy:


If Buhari is a hero then obj can not be a villain because it was all about political interest for them and nothing more. Same type of people.

I agree with the others on ur list even tho u left out a lot of other people.

Also I think tinubu is more of a hero of Abiola rather than democracy which Abiola stood for. He has consistently raped our democracy.
What has tinubu done to rape democracy

This writeup was extracted from a newspaper page and you did not even reference the writer?

Would you be happy if it happened to you?

The Villains name are not completed according to the newspaper that has the article in it.

Ernest Shonekan and one other Yoruba leaders are among the villains.


Oga make amend and do the rightful

Thank you


May God deliver Nairalanders like you o! So you cannot generate an original copy of your own? Tufiakwa! No wonder you go looking for expo for your exams.

Okay, since you know the newspaper it was cited from, oya, send the link Mr. ITK.
