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. |

Bmark: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 1 Like |
