Abiola will rise in 2015 'cos Nigerians will re-enact June 12 Spirit in 2015

National Leader, Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and former governor of Lagos State and one of the leaders of the June 12 struggle has said the spirit of June 12 is alive and thriving and it will propel the process that will produce free and fair elections in 2015.

Tinubu, while describing June 12 as Nigeria’s beacon in the dark, said the thirst for change was thick in the air and millions of Nigerians desperately wanted their votes to be counted in the next round of elections.

“June 12 remains indelibly etched in our memory, though it stands as a ringing indictment to the military and their civilian travellers who conspired against the wishes of millions of Nigerians. What happened on June 12 is deep rooted and genuine, the spirit behind it has refused to die.

“This pervading spirit of patriotic zeal,” Tinubu insists, “is powerful enough to propel the engines of change and the demand for a truly free and fair elections. The core of the June 12 elections was the transparency and the free and fair nature the election held.

“Twenty years after, Nigerians deserve no less.  The quality of our elections in the past few years has not attained the quality and transparency that surrounded the conduct of the June 12, 1993 elections.”

Continuing, the former governor said: “The symbol of June 12 and Nigeria’s Icon of Democracy, Chief Kashimawo Abiola gave to Nigeria a truly fine moment in history and taught us the lesson that Nigeria needs to get it right and be great. “But we failed to recognize his mandate and heed the message of his victory at the poll. Rather, we rushed to crucify him and stifled the message of democracy for which he made great sacrifices.

“Since June 12, we have struggled to reach the level of democratic quality experienced that moment. Today, we live halfway between sun and storm. We have yet to reach the democratic level of June 12.”

“I am optimistic that harvest time has come for Nigeria and Nigerians, but only if we imbibe the spirit of June 12 and abide with the lessons of that historic event.”
