When those that procured and sustained the<br \/>\nannulment of the June 12 1993 election thought they had successfully<br \/>\nburied that epochal historicity in the thick grave that enshroud the<br \/>\ncountry\u2019s chequered political history, that date has shot up and<br \/>\nassumed its rightful place as the foremost Democracy Day when the<br \/>\nlabours of the Patriots and martyrs that fought against militarism and<br \/>\ncivilian democracy was restored and rightly documented.<\/p>\n<p>This year, precisely June 12, 2019, Nigerians will celebrate the real<br \/>\nDemocracy Day which highlights the gritty and nervy fight Nigerians<br \/>\nundertook to rout the military from the country\u2019s politics and<br \/>\nre-establish civilian democratic rule.This historical celebration of<br \/>\nthe rightful date that midwifed the present democratic dispensation<br \/>\nwas granted by President Muhammadu Buhari via a Presidential Order<br \/>\nlast year, which boldly decided to break from the sash of a<br \/>\nthick-hooded conspiracy that sought to bury that historical date and<br \/>\nrather divert its glory to May 29when civilian governments took off in<br \/>\n1999. In releasing the Executive Order that rightly accorded June 12<br \/>\nits rightful place as the country\u2019s DemocracyDay. President Buhari<br \/>\ndecided to lead the country to strike a clean break froma dubious past<br \/>\nthat was webbed to misappropriate the rightful roots of the present<br \/>\nlong stretch democratic epoch, deny the heroes of the struggle that<br \/>\nbrought democracy their rightful and earned places in history and<br \/>\nreplace these with impostors and transient fortune hunters who<br \/>\nmisappropriated the fruits of those that laid down their lives for the<br \/>\nenthronement of the present democracy.<\/p>\n<p>So after a long 26 years living in denial, the country is this year,<br \/>\ncelebrating democracy Day on its rightful date. In invoking that<br \/>\nPresidential Order, PresidentBuhari had rightly mended history, healed<br \/>\nopen and festering wounds and indeed brought to fruition those<br \/>\nindelible words in our national anthem that \u2018the labours of our heroes<br \/>\npast shall never be in vain\u2019. In recognizing some of the leading<br \/>\nlights of the fitful struggle to bring democracy, the government<br \/>\ndemonstrated a desire to stop the misapplication of honors and<br \/>\nrecognize it for what it really is. That June 12 rose, several years<br \/>\nafter its brutal suppression and equally brutal efforts to sustain<br \/>\nthat wrong shows the staying power of truth over blemished lies.<\/p>\n<p>As a core participant in the efforts to restore the sanctity of June<br \/>\n12 and accord it its rightful place in our country\u2019s history, I see<br \/>\nthe decision of President Buhari to do right to the festering sore as<br \/>\na crowning of our efforts to do right and stand by that. I see the<br \/>\nvalidation of June 12 as the right move Nigerians need to fire their<br \/>\nmoral function and do what is right in all situations, no matter the<br \/>\ncost. I see the hallowed place June 12 is getting from this year as a<br \/>\ntimely message to a citizenry that is being persuaded to trifle with<br \/>\nlasting values and mores and embrace base interests because of their<br \/>\nmundane pecuniary value. For me and millions of Nigerians who<br \/>\nstruggled against the brutal military and their civilian collaborators<br \/>\nto restore the sanctity of June 12, the declaration of a National<br \/>\nHoliday on June 12 and its recognition as Democracy Day is enough<br \/>\nreward for the struggle. That this year, twenty-six whole years after<br \/>\nthat epic event, Nigerians are doing away with the lie that robbed the<br \/>\ndate of its value and are going back to theroots of this democratic<br \/>\norder shows the staying power of truth. It can be persecuted,<br \/>\nrubbished, deprived but it can never get buried.<\/p>\n<p>Those who were underserved beneficiaries of the June 12 struggle did<br \/>\neverything to bury June 12. Those who anchored their selfish interests<br \/>\non suppressing June 12 did everything to kill it. Those who see their<br \/>\nfuture selfish interests nestled on killing June 12 did everything to<br \/>\ninter that date but, because it is a struggle anchored injustice, it<br \/>\nrose triumphant when they least expected and this year, Nigeria is one<br \/>\nboundless crescendo celebrating this date for what it rightly is.<\/p>\n<p>When we recall that some of those that made the loudest noise standing<br \/>\non June 12 are today seized by bitter pain and agony because June 12is<br \/>\ngiven its rightful place by the Buhari regime, we will better<br \/>\nunderstand what fired some of the people in the struggle. It is<br \/>\nobvious that most of those that hustled for photo-ops with Chief MKO<br \/>\nAbiola and who vowed and swore to stand and die by June 12 were only<br \/>\nhustling for their selfish interests. They neither had the conviction<br \/>\nthat encased this struggle nor the selfless desire to see that justice<br \/>\nwas served by the actualization of June 12. They were on positioning<br \/>\nthemselves for the anticipated nectars of the struggle. That is why<br \/>\nmost of them are seized with fits of bitterness and anger this year<br \/>\nwhen they should be in their Christmas bests. Their anger is ruled by<br \/>\nselfish desires and narrow interests that have made some of them<br \/>\ndisgruntled stakeholders in a PDP, whose leading lights played pivotal<br \/>\nroles in annulling and sustaining the annulment of June 12. Their<br \/>\nbitterness betrays their pretensions of standing for the lofty ideals<br \/>\nof June 12. It was obvious that when Chief Abiola died, most of these<br \/>\nplayers surveyed the ground for where best to attend to their carnal<br \/>\ndesires. Some of them were seduced to serve the subsequent military<br \/>\ngovernments. With the advent of the civilian government, most of them<br \/>\ncozied up to Obasanjo and his PDP who were natural foes of June 12 and<br \/>\nwhat it represents and for 16 years the PDP controlled power, these<br \/>\nimpostors were comfortable with the shoddy manner June 12 was treated.<br \/>\nThey went to bed with PDP and forgot June 12 and for them, the<br \/>\nstruggle was ended because there were nofurther prospects for their<br \/>\nelephantine interests in a June 12 their new allies did everything to<br \/>\ninter.<\/p>\n<p>Like a Daniel come to judgment, not many were surprised that the<br \/>\nBuhari regime restored June 12 when almost every Nigeria thought the<br \/>\ndate has become history and had cozied up with the lie that May 29 was<br \/>\nthe DemocracyDay as Obasanjo and his PDP confederates sold. What was<br \/>\nrather surprising is that many of those that struggled for photo-op<br \/>\nsessions with Chief Abiola and were waving the bandana of June 12 are<br \/>\nnot happy today because the right thing was done by Buhari. Many of<br \/>\nthose that reveled as friends and associates of Abiola and who made a<br \/>\nloud noise about their pre-eminent roles in the struggle for the<br \/>\nactualization of June 12 are today very sad that June 12 was indeed<br \/>\nactualized. They felt at home that an impostor on May 29 was drafted<br \/>\nas democracy day by their collaborators in PDP and are bitter that<br \/>\nJune 12, the real democracy day is being restored. What more, many of<br \/>\nthem had frantically tried to pour cold water on that gargantuan<br \/>\neffort by Buhari because they are today activists for PDP and the very<br \/>\ninterests that killed and buried June 12.<\/p>\n<p>But the flipsides of June 12 will not prevent millions of Nigerians<br \/>\nfrom celebrating that historical date for what it is; the very root of<br \/>\nthe present democratic order. The betrayals that attend June 12<br \/>\nstarted from the very early days of the struggle when party chieftains<br \/>\nthat should protect its sanctity traded it to the devious regime that<br \/>\nannulled it. It dates back to when the Vice Presidential candidate of<br \/>\nthat ticket sold out to the military for a price lesser than what<br \/>\nJudas betrayed Jesus Christ for. The betrayals were enormous and<br \/>\nexpansive since then but even in their hefty nature, they are not<br \/>\nstrong enough to stop its triumph when the Buhari government declared<br \/>\nit a national holiday, restored its status as the Democracy Day,<br \/>\napologized to Abiola family, presented Chief Abiola the country\u2019s<br \/>\nhighest national honor, declared him the winner of June 12, 1993,<br \/>\nelection and honored many who were prominent in the fight for the<br \/>\nactualization of June 12 and the restoration of democracy in Nigeria.<br \/>\nThese were healing balms that attends to such open sores inflicted not<br \/>\nonly on Abiola but Nigerians in general.<\/p>\n<p>As Nigerians celebrate the actualization of June 12, its rightful role<br \/>\nas the Democracy Day, its dethronement of the impostor of May 29, what<br \/>\nshould rule our minds is the resolve to say never again will some<br \/>\nself-serving interests play the nation that hard card again. And never<br \/>\nagain will bestial interests deal us such evil bad card of injustice<br \/>\nas was done to June 12. Happy celebrations to all Nigerians!<\/p>\n<p>Peter Claver Oparah<\/p>\n<p>Ikeja, Lagos.<\/p>\n<p>E-mail:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:peterclaver2000@yahoo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">peterclaver2000@yahoo.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"conversation-footer\" class=\"spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like a stubborn sphinx that refused to be interred, June 12 has risen after 26 years to get its rightful place in the annals of the country\u2019s history.
