National Honours: President Buhari's Action Smacks of Desperation, Hypocrisy

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the national honour proposed to be conferred on the acclaimed winner of June 12, 1993, Chief MKO Abiola, by President Muhammadu Buhari, smacks of hypocrisy and political desperation ahead of 2019 presidential election.

PDP declares that President Buhari's action merely sought to use the name and person of Chief Abiola to gain a political capital and not out of genuine reverence and recognition for him.

The party recalls that President Buhari, who was serving in the military administration of General Sani Abacha during the travails of Chief MKO Abiola, did not associate either by words or actions with the late winner of June 12 election.

The party further stated that history did not record President Buhari as sympathetic to the Abiola's family when his wife, Kudirat, was gruesomely murdered by the agents of a government which President Buhari served.

It is therefore a sign of political desperation for President Buhari to seek to use Chief Abiola's name as a tool to sway Nigerians in less than twelve months to an election where he, (President Buhari) is seeking a second term.

It is also shocking that the respectable grave of Abiola can be dishonoured by granting a posthumous award on him along with someone who denounced the June 12 mandate and preferred the company of his (Abiola's) traducers.

Even those who now masquerade as change agents were opposed to the naming of University of Lagos after Chief Abiola.

If President Buhari genuinely wants to honour Chief Abiola, he should do so by ending all anti-democratic proclivities of his administration and allow for the rule of law and respect for our constitution.

The PDP therefore urges President Buhari to shed his desperate actions in his quest to win the 2019 presidential election as Nigerians can no longer be deceived by such antics.

You people in PDP should hide your face in shame cos If your party had done the right thing by recognizing June 12 for those years you were in power, this card will not be available for Buhari to play, now he played it and we love it.....

This is another Joker from Buhari to PDP

THIS IS NIGERIA, ANOTHER GOV CAN ENTER THERE AND RETURN DEMOCRACY DAY BACK TO 29TH MAY.

I KNOW SENTIMENT WILL NOT HELP U TO COMPREHEND THAT SIMPLE FACT.

FURTHER, DEMOCRACY DAY IS NOT ABIOLA DAY.

IS ABIOLA THE FIRST MAN DISPLACED BY MILITARY IN NIGERIA OR DEMOCRACY DISPLACED BY MILITARY?

ASK BUHARI TO CALL IT ABIOLA DAY.

OTHERWISE, HAUSA GO THEY LAUGH YORUBA ON JUNE 12, WEN ABACHA BECAME PRESIDENT AND POWER WENT NORTH.




Again, Buhari lauds Sani Abacha

Buhari was in the government that killed Abiola and today he says he honours Abiola just because he wants to get re-election, my people are not fools.

It all about politics, Buhari just want to subtile the heart of Yoruba's

Politics is the bane of Nigeria's development !

We play politics with the wrong thing, at the wrong time, in a wrong approach all because we want to score cheap political point ..


The same man you honor is the same man your mentor killed!

Where's your integrity ?


I just hope the SW folks are nod fooled by this dirty politics ..

The SW folks should Accept the honor
But reject the motive behind it ..

Thanks

I KNOW say the decision pain PDP, even if Buhari was in Abacha's government, Buhari did NOT annul June 12 election, neither was he responsible for Abiola's incarceration.
Now answer this question, what stopped PDP government from honouring MKO through out their 16 years in government?, I'm sure Buhari stopped them too.
Our people said " ti iro ba lo fun ogun odun, ojo kan SOSO ni ododo ma ba, " meaning if a LIE takes the lead in a RACE for twenty years, the TRUTH will ARISE IN ONE DAY to make nonsense of the so called lead.
May 29 is NOT the democracy day, June 12 is.
Some losers sat their sorry ass down to LOOT the country under the CLOAK of the same democracy that was WON on the BLOOD of MKO and his brothers, without any remorse whatsoever.
"Omo olomo laa ran ni ise de t'oru t'oru, " it shall NEVER be well with anyone who is NOT happy with this decision.
May they end up the way MKO, his wife and others who died in the struggle.
It shall NEVER be well with the wicked.

We must also remember that it was this same indisciplined Buhari that planned the coup which Truncated democracy in 1983 triggering all the events that will lead to a clamour for June 12 eventually... Buhari is not a democrat and is only trying to play a fast one on the South west

I'm not perturbed by the pettiness you have employed as defence ..

It goes to show how shallow your IQ is when debating ..

Good you have exposed yourself on a world wide platform..

Next time equip yourself with facts before rushing to engage people ..

I'm on my way to go play with sand , don't forget plants and flowers goes hand in hand..

Cheers

PDP have no moral right to criticize PMB on this

They are just pained that the President will gain a lot of political mileage from this decision that will jeopardize their own chances

Whether he is playing a fast one, a slow one, a snail one, that is your business. I’m only interested in how this news is received by the family of the main man involved

Pain me you say?
Nah!!
I just see the honor as a cheap political point to get aggrieved SW votes come 2019..

Good award from buhari to MKO / Gani
Bad intentions to get votes..

That's just the summary ..

Hope you are cleared on the angle I'm coming from..?

Cheers ..

Be good

We have all received it well and even advised that the govt go further by inaugurating Abiola post humouslly but that doesn't change the fact that Buhari has under performed and must be kicked out

You are entitled to your opinion just like millions are entitled to their own opinion that the president will be re elected till serve another term till 2023.

Politics is a game of interest, a potent statement you Ibos ignore but think politics is all about settling old scores

Guy, I’m not interested in any back and forth with you..Buhari just scored a very important goal with one of his main support plank, you can either cry or accept reality
