Nigeria reached a great
milestone in her history on June 12, 1993. Chief M. K. O. Abiola and Alhaji Kingibe
his running mate were massively voted for in the freest and best organised presidential
election ever recorded in our political history. Prof. Humphrey Nwosu and his
OPTION A4 went down in history as Nigeria’s finest. But the military truncated
it all. The military created all our 36 States and 774 LGs and bequeathed to us
a biased, incongruous, unsustainable structure. The military gave us the 1999
Constitution in which they said “We the people of Nigeria ...” whereas
Nigerians never saw the document. Military infamy is Nigeria’s bane. From June
12, 1993 Nigeria became divided irretrievably along ethnic, religious and
geographical boundaries. We have not progressed since that date. The only way
forward is to restructure. Abiola was a unifier, June 12, 1993 a watershed. In the
political time-table of Nigeria today is June 12, 1993, not June 12, 2017. June
12, 2017 remains a dream until we do what we are supposed to do – restructure socially,
geographically, economically and politically - and free all Nigerians. Why have
all our leaders continued to refuse to listen to us? There are going to be two major
upheavals in the political life of Nigeria over the next 18 months. Pray hard.
God the Ultimate Unifier, is about to step in.
