Dele Alake put up a super brilliant historical account of events that happened in the pre, during and post events of June 12 struggle.

His delivery was 95% and reminded us of his days as the DG Media & Communication campaign team of the BAT team during the last Presidential Campaign.

I personally think Dele Alake should be re-assigned to the ministry of information or else he will live to regret because PBAT will never get a second term with these set of opportunistic media aides that surround PBAT presently.

There is a big difference between Bayo Onanuga's written response and Dele Alake's interview which had more depth, demagogy and was eloquently delivered.

Indeed PBAT was the Head, Guerilla wing of NADECO most military men of the Officer cadre who served during the Abacha Regime knew Tinubu as a very stubborn and intelligent conman.

If Atiku, Tinubu, Lamido and alake are in the politics as of then, they supposed to step aside and let young ones lead the country because they fail and they are out dated

Did any old person step aside for them back then or they fought for their ow space?

Why can't you do likewise if you are interested in shaping our country

How much of your own money, time, talents and other resources have you donated to the political and governance process so far?

“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events.

He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics.

The slowpoke doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”

― Bertolt Brecht

Did Buhari that also honoured MKO make it about himself and his cronies?. Or you expect Tinubu to honor Elrufai the butcher of Kaduna?

Buhari did that in 2018 to secure Yoruba votes for his reelection the following year despite his clueless performance that now looks brillian in comparison with ebilokan's two years of self assessed failures.

May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu

According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”

On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.

Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.

If it was true, MKO's children would not have accepted working in Tinubu's Government. When they obviously distanced themselves from OBJ. Tells you they know the primary roles Asiwaju played in fighting for the mandate of their late father.

-Kiss the truth!

You dey trust tinubu... Omooo I trust wike pass tinubu because if wike want fight you him no go hide... But you see tinubu that you are supporting fight obj, fight Johnathan but him reach buhari turn way bad in leadership, tinubu no talk anything and you still dey trust ham....
He worked with the North to collect power from the south, na him break the relationship in the south all for his greed

I will accept anything said against balablu, but I will not accept the lies that he was among those who orchestrated the annulment of MKO's mandate.

Baba has nothing to gain working with Abacha, IBB etc to deny MKO his mandate

He fought abacha and co until he had to go on exile for his own safety .

Lamido is a chronic liar and a desperate attention seeker

zero8zero:
So, why are Abiola's children working with Tinubu?

How does Abiola children working for Tinubu change the historical fact that Tinubu betrayed Abiola?

Bobloco:
Of course, Tinubu played the role of a betrayer as told by kola Abiola

Here's another report on this,

Shouldn't the link's words count as part of the 40 words required on some topics?
At this juncture, ayam not understanding again

Lol... everyone is looking for food to chop. Whose talking about integrity and principles here? If Abacha were still de alive and offers Abiola's kids some juicy job, do you think that they won't take it?

To you, everybody is hungry, even those who can comfortably feed you, you call them hungry but una dey on Twitter dey beg.

And which appointment did Tinubu collect from Abacha like Obi did?

Maxymilliano:
Flurry of reactions from Tinubu's camp only indicates an iota of truth in what Lamido said

So if someone lied on your head, you will keep quiet. All this bitter people from across the Niger self.

Bobloco:

Which historical fact support your claims aside from newspaper headlines from disgruntled elements?. when, how & where did he betray Abiola?Unless you know more than Abiola's children working with him. You are looking for join body with Obi that served under Abacha

[quote author=zero8zero post=135853343][/quote]When facts hit too close to home, all you people have left is ethnic slurs and lazy deflections.

This isn’t about IPOB, Asia, or prisons, it’s about a sitting president with a verified drug-related forfeiture in U.S. court records, commonwealth thievery, political crimes, total existential dishonesty and a bottomless appetite for propaganda, and a presidency running on lies falsehood and and propaganda.

You can scream "IPOB!" till your lungs give out, but it won’t scrub the court documents, the bullion vans, the over two decades and counting of siphoning of the entire common wealth of Lagosians or the deafening silence in the face of real governance.

If Bola Tinubu’s record had even a whiff of dignity, you wouldn’t need to hide behind insults to defend it.

FoxyBlueSKy:
Trying every means people to defend, and safe face

Children wey dem never born when Tinubu dey fight for democracy talk say “Tinubu no be Democrat in any shape or form” That is the beauty of democracy 🙌🏿🙌🏿

Sule Ladmido made mention of Tunubu's Mother organising Market Women in Lagos to go to Abuja to support Abacha. In all this write up, the writer didn't clarified that. If truly that was true, hence Tunubu was indirectly supporting Abacha, he can't be working in cross road with his mother.

AMINDA:
Why has Tinubu been hellbent on making June 12 about himself and cronies instead of about MKO Abiola? Buhari has done more to immortalise Abiola than Tinubu himself. On the first June 12 of Tinubu's tenure, he seized the opportunity to unveil the largest portrait on earth at Eagle Square. It was a portrait of himself! He has since continued in that trajectory of self-immortalization by renaming every new and existing National Monument after himself.

In the second year, he cancelled Presidential live broadcast in favor of addressing a joint session of the national assembly. Instead of speaking about democracy, he used the opportunity to gloat about party politics and how happy he was to see all opposition in disarray. The megalomania is disgusting and it doesn't portray the behaviour of someone who truly fought for democracy as peddled.

Democracy Day is June 12. Its Abiola day. And no other president has given a more relevant speech befitting June 12 than Tinubu's speech. What exactly on democracy, were you expecting him to speak about?
I don't know why Obidients are always full of complains?/

Please make una leave June 12 to rest,Abiola won or not won the truth is that Abiola is dead Tufia is dead therefore, allow the sleeping dog to lie

TimeManager:
It's so funny how vultures and hyenas are coming all out to concoct all kinds of lies and propaganda just for the aim of grabbing power. Does Sule Lamido expect President Tinubu to announce his name among the heros of Democracy and confer on him an award following his ignoble role during June 12 annulment?. That would amount to pissing on the graves of the heros of Democracy. Does Lamido think history can be revised or rewritten?, unfortunately, he will have to live and die with the memories of his actions dinning with the devil.

It is funny how opposition are saying all sorts thinking that's the only way to curry public sympathy for votes. It's funny hearing Obi say Nigeria economy is crumbling yet Fidelity Bank which he owns 10% equity is declaring humongous amount of billions, Obi as we speak is one of the largest single importer of consumer goods in Nigeria yet he claims the economy is crumbling. In another instances, he claimed democracy is dead yet he criticizes everything and goes scot free, the kind of statements he can never utter in Niger Republic or Burkina Faso and get away with it.

Ameachi says he is hungry after 24 years in the corridor of power but he is presently collecting retirement benefits as an ex speaker and former Governor, even being a former minister, he still enjoys certain privileges than an average Nigerian.

However, one surest thing is the FACT that all the gang ups, coalition and frivolities cannot stop Asiwaju as the annoited man. He has been there before, seen it, done it. All these are nothing but child's play. There's a popular saying that Tinubu no be GEJ, let that sink in.



-Kiss the truth!

what do you mean by "heroes of democracy"?

who are these "heroes of democracy"?

what makes them "heroes of democracy"?

what did tinubu say in his speech on June 12 that made it the most relevant speech befitting June 12?

Truth is beginning to come out. When Atiku said he dropped his ambition then for Abiola some e-rat insulted him. Now it's coming out gradually.

Putindbutt:

Is Kola Abiola amongst those you described as disgruntled elements?

he asked a valid question.

Arostar2023:

all you should have answered was simple yes or no.

what did the likes of Kingibe, Ebenezer Babatope and Olu Onagoruwa do when Abacha became Head of STate?

were they hungry men?

Bobloco:

This is the effect of lack of history in our schools

Thrasher2024:
Vultures and backstabbing betrayers coming to expose themselves, just they way IBB denied his involvement with Abacha. Only MKO can really say what happened, unfortunately the dead can’t speak

lexy2014:
what did tinubu say in his speech on June 12 that made it the most relevant speech befitting June 12?

He took the nation down memory lane about military annulment of an election, which was later awarded to the winner posthumous. Awarding openly all those who played a role in the saga with national honors.

You are a joke. Most politicians that betrayed themselves politics bring them together. In politics they are no enemies. Even if he betrayed their father then that will not make them to hate him for ever. Those days are past and now they have to forge a future for themselves and children unborn and if that future they can get it from Tinubu today tell me why should they fight the president.

No truth to kiss in your words.

https://thenationonlineng.net/how-lamido-traded-off-abiolas-mandate-by-alake/

That's a succinct response you gave to that uninformed poster who definitely wasn't alive during the early 1990s when we physically witnessed the chain of events in the transition to the democratic space from June 12, 1993

It's obvious from reading 'Dele Alake's STRONG response that Sule Lamido is experiencing some mental amnesia which comes with age due to the lose of the stem cells in the brain nerve centers. Sule Lamido just got things muddled up historically which are signs of a failing memory.

Thrasher2024:
Vultures and backstabbing betrayers coming to expose themselves, just they way IBB denied his involvement with Abacha. Only MKO can really say what happened, unfortunately the dead can’t speak

Even MKO ran away when push came to shove, and even supported the Abacha coup

Sheuns:
Dele Alake cleverly tried to make it look that the emergence of MKO Abiola as the SDP candidate was the handwork of Tinubu. (Always trying to make him look like one kingmaker)

Also, he said the SDP was formed by two groups. Some people believe the SDP and NRC were two political parties created by the IBB regime.

It will be very difficult for people to believe these guys because they have been known to be economical with the truth.

All they do is sing praises of Tinubu as one demigod or messiah of some sort.

SDP was formed by IBB, but both the PSP and the pdm were the main groups in the SDP.

i recall both groups very well. PSP was part of the 13 or so parties that tried to register early on in IBB's stalled transistion project, before IBB formed the two parties..a little to the left, a little to the right, in 1989. PSP along with PDM then entered SDP.

Good old Nigerian history.

Bobloco:
When there’s an avalanche and flurry of reactions from Tinubu’s media lackeys, MÁGÁ dógs, and senior and junior domestic servants, rest assured that whatever they’re reacting against is the truth. They hate the truth.

😐🙄 😒 wen elder talk,younger ones listen. How old are u in 1992 to 94. Yes 94? U people should ask elderly ones around 45,50..... up to tell u history not jumping up/down

Everything Lamodo said is truth. Peanit crew defending the undefendable.

You think if Abiola wanted anything to do with Abacha, he wouldn't get it ?. If Obi who's a nobody could get an appointment with Abacha, will Tinubu not get what he wanted?
