Nigerians owe President Buhari a debt of gratitude for eventually recognizing June 12 as Nigeria’s ‘Democracy Day’. But, beyond the watershed which the experience has provided, Nigerians must also realize that June 12 is the harbinger of the democracy...
– Nigerians went to the polls to elect a president. Unfortunately, the election, won by the late Moshood Abiola, was annulled by Ibrahim Babangida, then, Nigeria’s military president.
Abiola, the owner of the mandate, has paid the supreme sacrifice. Babangida, the evil genius, who brought the trouble upon the country, has limited influence in Nigeria’s current political space while Sani Abacha, who arrogantly inherited the mess and made it even messier, has reportedly become a victim of an uncanny apple fruit and vanished forever. Abdulsalami Abubakar, who feigned the ‘good man’, is also no longer relevant in the national equation.
There was a time in this country when the destiny of premium motor spirit, pms, was surrendered to the whims and caprices of the marketers. Not too long after, it had to change when the marketers allegedly bastardized that awesome privilege; and the society suffered for it.
Let us come to the issue of the National Youth Service Corps .
