Democracy,memories...the Last Interview Of M.K.O Abiola by Bmark: 6:39pm On Dec 28, 2014
Memoroies of june 12… MKO’s Last
Interview

The Sacrificial Lamb Of Nigerian
Democracy…

MKO’s Last Interview
this is one one of the most touching
interviews i have read of the past..and
here it is from http://tunerwords.
a foremost political and social enlightenment blog.

……. This interview was
conducted via phone by BBC in June,
1994
and has been written out below in
transcript of the broadcast of bbc:


What is happening at your house? Are
you
being arrested?


MKO: I’m being arrested, I’m
just going out now with the police
(National
anthem being recited in the background
by
his supporters hence, a momentary
pause in
conversation) MKO (continues): There is a
large crowd here and I am being
escorted
out to detention by singing the national
anthem

BBC: Why are they arresting you?

MKO: They are arresting me on the
allegation
of felony and treason or something like
that
(his voice becomes low and he
continues) they are not doing anything
they
are just taking me away. Please let me go,
you
know I’m delaying them.

BBC: and so where
are you now? Are you in your car?


MKO: I’m in
my car now

BBC: is the police with you in
your car or are they escorting …..


(MKO
cuts in)
MKO: The commissioner of police is in the
car
with me and my senior wife (Kudirat
Abiola)
is in the car with me.


BBC: Why are they
letting you talk on the phone to the BBC
while
in the midst of arresting you?


MKO: (chuckles)
they’ve come to arrest me not to arrest
my
mouth


BBC: You sound very cheerful about it
chief Abiola


MKO: of course you know
(chuckles on) it is all part of democracy
here


BBC: And you are happy to go to the
police
and await whatever charges they’re
going to
file against you



MKO: I’m not in any way
disturbed by it, ANY SACRIFICE IS IN ORDER
if it
will bring democracy, peace and
prosperity to
Nigeria.


BBC: Is it possible to talk to the
commissioner of police who’s with you in
the
car



MKO: I don’t know if the commissioner of
police is authorised to talk, he cannot talk
to
the press.



BBC: what is your advice now to
your supporters many of them we heard
a
moment ago?


MKO: I told them before I left
home to just stay calm! It is very very
important that they stay calm



BBC: So you are
appealing for calm you don’t want them
to
take any direct action in your support


MKO:
No, no, no, no


BBC: You still say you’re the
president of Nigeria but it’s no much
good if
you’re going to be in jail


MKO: well, Mandela
was in jail for 27years, Kenyatta was in
jail. I
suppose that is one of the qualifications
you
need in this part of
the world, don’t worry yourself my friend
…….


*End of phone interview and that was
the
last we heard from him* His wife Alhaja
Kudirat had this to say upon his arrest
“When
I saw M.K.O. alighting from the Black
Maria, I
felt really bad. I was weeping. I felt so sad
that something like that could
happen to someone of his caliber” He
indeed
paid the ultimate price for democracy…..

This interview reveals how much we have advanced as a nation. The Northern oligarchy headed by Babangida and Buhari are being weakened day by day. If only Abiola was alive to see the progress we've achieved, no more born to rule.

NO SURRENDER TO HAUSA/FULANI hegemony.


SAI NO to Bukohari.

To start with, I don't quite fancy my moniker existing on thesame sentence with some people's. We reason at very different frequencies.so next time do well to make appropriate differentiations. Thanks.

Now back to the matter; I've got that documentary in my lappy, awesome stuff, very enlightening I must say. Think it is 1:45mins.

MKO was in very good spirits even when he was led away by the police, very unruffled. Really felt for him. Never knew the fate that awaited him. Unfortunate he wound up the way he did.

And how could I conclude without mentioning what the ABC news reporter said about the person Buhari. So was he then, so I believe he is now. God bless our General.

Abiola only fell out with his former ally Ibb and resorted to gullible Nigerians for his woes. People are now praise-singing his name forgetting how he milked the country with Ibb when they were getting along with each other. He wasn't, isn't and will never be a saint in the eyes of any politically conscious Nigerian of 80s as well as 90s so can I hear word please undecided
