June 12; The complicity we must not forget, by Babafemi Ojodu

The article criticizes Governor Sule Lamido's recent account of the 1993 presidential election annulment, calling it a distortion of history. The author, Babafemi Ojudu, argues that Lamido and his allies undermined democracy by not supporting the June 12 mandate, and that their actions empowered the military establishment. Ojudu claims that Lamido's attempt to rewrite history is an insult to Nigerians' collective intelligence and an affront to those who fought for democracy. He recalls Abubakar Rimi's dismissal of MKO Abiola's plight, suggesting that Lamido's camp played a role in the tragedy that followed the election's annulment.
