June 12: Nigeria’s Political Leaders Must Shun Divisive Tendencies

Senator Opeyemi Bamidele has admonished Nigeria po­litical leaders to desist from misleading the masses through incendiary comments and ac­tions.

In his message on Democ­racy Day, Bamidele saluted the martyrs and victims of the presidential election.

He described the supposed winner of the botched election, Chief MKO Abiola and other pro-democracy Nigerians who lost their lives as the real pillars of the country’s democracy.

The Chairman, Senate Committee on Judiciary, Hu­man Rights and Legal Mat­ters, said the lingering crisis that trailed the annulment of the Nigeria’s freest and fairest June 12,1993 presidential elec­tion, was devoid of religious and tribal sentiments, which he said signposted that Nigeri­ans were fantastically united in thought and spirit.

“The June 12, 1993 was so symbolic in Nigeria’s political history. It represented a day when all Nigerians eschewed ethnic and tribal consider­ations and voted a candidate of their choices in the most recog­nisable democratic fashion.

“The fact that the late Abiola of the Social Democratic Par­ty and a Yoruba man of the Southwest extraction could win in Kano, where his Chief opponent, Alhaji Bashir Tofa hailed from, indicated that the poor masses cared less about ethnicity and tribalism.
