Niger Delta: I forgive Ibrahim Babangida

I, to a large extent, forgive IBB on the premature rape on our democracy as represented by the annulment of the June 12, 1993 Presidential elections, which his late friend MKO Abiola won. All those military men (then) who pushed IBB into succumbing to the annulment are now enjoying democracy in Nigeria with some of them occupying various ‘elected’ and appointed positions. It is true that if IBB did not get the abrogation carried out before leaving office, by now it would have still remained unattainable through the National Assembly. You can imagine simple review of the country’s Constitution has been going on from inception in the hallow chambers in the past ten years and there is nothing tangible in sight.

 Mr. Benedicta Apia, Ezikwo Road, Abakaliki, Ebonyi State
