Buhari deserve accolades.

June 12 isn't complete unless d mandate is served. If recognising that an election was won, then those that won d election must b allowed to assume power. Kingibe is still alive. Buhari should step down 4 him so he can actualise d June 12 mandate

Was it Buhari that stole the mandate?

just take a look at yourself...

If you are looking for hypocrites come to nairaland. When GEJ named Unilag after this same Abiola some years back, the same people praising Buhari now condemned him then.

IF HIM LIKE, LET HIM REMAIN ABUJA TO ABIOLA.


IT CHANGES NOTHING...

Yes, it doesn't change the fact that Buhari will remain your president till 2023.

Why can't Jonathan think of this instead of UNILAG?

Does a drunk have a brain of his own?

Obasanjo built that stadium but see how Buhari is taking the credit due to Obasanjo's selfishness

Obasanjo built it with his pocket money?

History will be kind to PMB; the president who finally healed the June 12 would. Obasanjo would be agonizing shamelessly in pain wherever he is today. The senate in 2003 passed a resolution naming the Abuja stadium after MKO but Obasanjo refused to implement the resolution.

Jonathan also had the opportunity of implementing that resolution but he opted to play to the gallery by naming University of Lagos after MKO thereby reducing him to a Yoruba hero despite the fact that he payed the ultimate price for Nigeria’s democracy.

You may call it anything bro but when supposedly "good people" don't do what is right and needful, "evil" men will do it and take credit.

SaintLucia:
The pogrom your Ojukwu, Ezeogwu, Ironsi etc caused by killing northern and Yoruba leaders and elders in the first ever coup in the history of Nigeria.

What is this one saying?

the tens of thousands that were killed participated in the coup?


You no get sense

Pogrom was BEFORE the war.

assuming that the igbo soldiers killed the leaders
an eye for an eye is justifiable
kill the igbo officers as well

But not only were igbo officers killed, a pogrom followed forcing igbos to flee IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY

Economic emasculation of the igbo man followed after the civil war as well and you think all these were justified?

Nigeria is a country filled with evil people

So I am not surprised someone is thinking like this

Medicine after death. The man won and should have been president, not some stadium we can hardly maintain. Buhari's mentor abacha incarcerated him, killed his wife and many of his supporters.

Was it Obj and Gen that stole the mandate?

It's not a bad idea.

The president which is tenure brought hardship. If you like rename Aso Rock to Bubu Rock the hardship and the freedom of the herdsmen will always stain this man.

Guy your own hardship is a curse because during previous regimes you weren't any better than you are today, So stop blaming Buhari and go for Deliverance.

So who will help us honour Tafawa balewa and the sarduana of sokoto that were killed by ifeajuna and Nzeogwo?

Congratulations to Nigeria and to the yorubas in particular. From a nutral Nigerian from the land of the raising sun. S/E really have a lot to learn politically.

we should have more political awareness in the South East

that is for sure

With how much stake we as Igbos have in Nigeria

we should have much more influence politically and as a lobby group than we currently have.

But let the country first take steps to heal the wounds of the war first

Andy2274:

I posed that question to the person that asked Buhari to step down for Kingibe.

Buhari's government is legitimate. It cannot step down for Kingibe to reclaim a stolen mandate. However, it has done the right thing by legitimizing the victory of 1993.

9jayes:


Why Obasanjo doesn't want to believe a name called Abiola exist. Buhari loves Yorubas and he's handling power to them.

Life is so funny at playback.It was M.K.O Abiola that sponsored the coup that removed Buhari as a Military Head of State.
This great move would go down into history for generations yet to come.Buhari has his own short coming in administration and everybody does in our private lives.
What made it so exciting is that most of the National Leaders from Ogun State of the late Abiola( Obasanjo,Diya,Shonekan) does not want
President Buhari to give him this national recognition.
If you envy a Man while alive,most you keep such attitude even in death.I was just 7yrs.old when the June 12 incident came up,but I heard the late Abiola was a core Philanthropist.
At the inception of Lautech in 1990,M.K.O was appointed as the first Chancellor of the great University and he single handedly paid the first six Months Salaries of the new Staff despite him not coming from Oyo State.
The evil and good that Men does lives after them. If only all African leaders would be more concerned about leaving big legacies behind like the late Nelson Mandela,Africa would become the envy of the World.

LONG OVERDUE

GEJ really goofed by not doing this when he had the chance

What about OBJ?

Learn from what
I guess is Southeast that killed Abiola and his wife I hope you know it was Igbo man that conducted the election and declared Abiola winner, even when military were threatening him, I hope Buhari will declare the day Abiola and his wife was killed

Nyamuriflathead:

Wasn't Nzeogwu also killed, among with Ironsi and manybither officers?


I'm not talking of renaming stadium or whatever

But remembering all those who were killed unjustly is a good step
like a memorial day

like the one in Rwanda

Those innocent women and children did not deserve to die in such manner

And igbo people did not deserve the economic emasculation of the 1970s

Ugosample:


how about a govt that will heal the wounds of the aftermath of the pogrom and civil war on the igbos in Nigeria

I think that is long overdue too.

June 12 should be our democracy day tho, because of obvious reasons.

The most sensible comment I ever read on nairaland today. You deserve an OON . Government should look at civil war and remedy some remediable damages done by Gowon and his boys. I am full blooded AFONJA.

hisexcellency34:

LoL, see how we have turned ourselves to. Someone built a stadium and another renamed it, who did well? If there was no structure there will be noting to rename. However, governance is a continuum and we must all agree that both leaders have done well in this regard.

Bolustical:
President Buhari just like giving OBJ, IBB and Atiku uppercuts since 2015.

Justice at last! Recognition eventually.

If you are pained by this development, it means you never loved democracy neither do you respect the Yoruba people.

God bless PMB,

God bless Nigeria.

That will put food on your table
And give you more security...
