High Chief Lekan Alabi, the Maiye Olubadan of Ibadan Land, participated at an event in Lagos last Wednesday to mark Nigeria’s Democracy Day and the 31st anniversary of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, which was annulled by the military regime of Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (retd).
High Chief Lekan Alabi, the Maiye Olubadan of Ibadan Land, participated at an event in Lagos last Wednesday to mark Nigeria’s Democracy Day and the 31st anniversary of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, which was annulled by the military regime of Gen. Ibrahim Babangida .
So, our main objective was to appeal to Nigerians, politicians and voters, to keep calm and abide by the changing rules and regulations of Babangida’s military government. Lo and behold, Saturday, June 12, 1993 came and Nigerians had a peaceful election; the fairest. Nigerians on their own free will voted massively for the Social Democratic Party candidate, the late Bashorun MKO Abiola.
As we celebrate the 31st anniversary of the June 12, 1993 election, Nigeria is still in the lurch. That’s my answer.Looking at the struggle that ensued to get the military to relinquish power, which according to you, cost some people their lives, does the democracy we are practicing today meet your expectations?
Would you say that Nigerians are really enjoying what they envisaged when they were struggling for democracy to be restored by the military? Are there areas in our current democracy you think can be reformed to ensure better governance in the country and possibly make those wishing for the return of the military to power to have a change of mind?
