My reflections on June 12 reveal united Nigerian spirit – Bamidele
Nigeria through the June 12, 1993 presidential poll confirmed that the bond of unity among Nigerians was strong and invincible.
Saluting the martyrs and victims of the presidential election in a statement on Friday commemorating the Democracy Day Celebration, Bamidele described the supposed winner of the botched election, Chief MKO Abiola and other pro-democracy Nigerians who lost their lives as the real pillars of the country’s democracy.“The June 12, 1993, was so symbolic in Nigeria’s political history.
“After the cancellation of the result by the then Military Junta, the people across South, West, East and Northwest, East and Central stood in unity to condemn the action, and they all called for the revalidation of the poll results.“The lesson from this was that, our leaders should stop misleading the masses through divisive tribal and ethnic politics.
