Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

The former Governor of Ogun State and Director General of the Atiku Presidential Campaign Organization (APCO), Otunba Gbenga Daniel has stated that the t sacrifices of Late Chief MKO Abiola and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in 1993 metamorphosed into the current stable democracy Nigeria enjoys.

Otunba Daniel made this assertion while delivering the keynote address at the City People Magazine’s 22nd anniversary lecture in Lagos on Sunday tagged “Nigeria: the bumpy road to 2019”

While chronicling the journey of Nigeria from the pre and post colonial era, the former governor stated that the episode of the annulled June 12 election in 1993 ushered in the return to civilian rule in 1999 as the military realized that the only way to console Nigerians and bring back the confidence in the federation after the uprising that emanated from the June 12 annulment was to return power to the people.

“We cannot talk about the June 12 election and the mandate of Late Chief MKO Abiola without talking about the role Atiku Abubakar played in achieving that mandate. It is on record that for the first time in the history of Nigeria’s democracy, a contending aspirant of Northern extraction at that level and time, decided to step down, not for a fellow Northerner but for a Southerner to actualize a collective dream of a better Nigeria.

“The overwhelming strength of that singular event produced a chain of events which brought us back to democracy in 1999. The ghost of June 12 was unyielding until it found full expression in the return to Democracy six years later. The resolve and the power of that cycle of events launched Nigeria into a prosperous and lively people cohabiting together, gradually yielding towards the near Utopia- the ideal state or nation.

Speaking on the candidacy of Atiku Abubakar, Otunba Daniel reiterated the need to achieve unity for Nigeria as that is the only way to development.

“That spirit of one Nigeria in 1993 which is blind to ethnicity or religion is what we should aim to achieve in 2019, it is what Atiku Abubakar represents".

Abiola is the most overrated Nigerian politician.

They said one lifeless man will lead from the front. He came and granted amnesty to Book Haram.

The rest is the story now. Even to send condolence to slain soldiers. No way.

True

Overrated in what way? Or the most popular politician in Nigeria whose name can never be forgotten

I forgot his name already.

Lie lie. Afonjas are their worst enemy. Even Atiku a Fulani appreciates the man's political style

Gbenga Daniel is vomiting rubbish. Very soon he will tell us Atikulooter is bigger than his family.

Spirit of truncated destiny.

WE DON'T NEED THAT IN NIGERIA EVER AGAIN!

Oloriburuku! Atiku wey no fight for June 12

Atiku is a thief and the only way he can be mentioned in the same sentence with Abiola is when talking about something being stolen.

Like Abiola's stolen mandate.

Story story.
I'm not for Buhari anyway.

Spirit ko osu ni

June 12 is a fiction.
It is a scam and it is an illusion.
M.K.O was just a victim of circumstance not meriting the status of a hero.

Someone rightly said Abiola is overrated.
The truth is; in saner climes, Abiola can't even be rated.
A coupist who was also convicted for treason deserves no such recognition.

It's sad that with the declaration of June 12 as the new democracy day, Buhari has won the of all the SouthWest states.

Well.
Surely and definitely, June 12 will be what it is, any other day.

A man always has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason.

Abiola did what no politician living or dead from your area has ever done: He won a Presidentai election.

Ojukwu led 3 million Igbos to get killed in a foolish war. Thereafter, the coward ran away dressed like Bobrisky leaving his soldiers to surrender.

The bearded coward came back to collect Federal Government pension without his soldiers collecting a single kobo.

It is funny that you like most Igbos have continued to attack Yorubas for their choices when the person whose foolishness got 3M Igbos killed is an hero to you.

I don't blame you though. Igbos generally have a natural disability in choosing good leaders.

Oni gbo sharapp



This is what too much weed can cause

grandeur of delusion

The Southwest always gets emotional whenever June 12 is mentioned

Hence, politicians are using it to toss them about.

Like Buhari
Like OGD

Not Yoruba

Afonjas Thank you for Making Nigeria proud. Our brothers are developing the nation with weed and cocaine business but custom seize Oguchukwu and Emeka cintainers of Tramadol n lagos.


Tell them to release it or we will tell Mazi Nnadu kanu to fire catapult from Israel and destroy Nigeria .

MUMU Ex Governor, vouching for a thief.
See Thieves regrouping to steal again.

Birds of same feather....
They both have brain touch

Just like how a jobless drunkard fooled the entire Igboland with Biafran scam.

Mention Biafra and you have them by the balls.

Coming from someone who's sisters can't inherit their father's property cos they're females and they discriminate against fellow Igbos calling fellow Igbos Wawa or Osu Igbos, I'm not surprised.
