 President Mohamed Abu Hari in 2018 declared June 12 as Nigeria's new democracy day as part of compensation for the injustice that was done to the winner of the presidential election held on that day in 1993. As part of our June 12 special series, Osarege Waan examines the role played by some of the key actors of the struggle who are now late. June 12, 1993, according to a political school of thought, is the real democracy day when Nigerians came out en masse to vote for a democratic government. Unfortunately, the election was annulled by then military ruler Ibrahim Babangida. This gave rise to the formation of the Odwa People's Congress by Dr. Frederic Fassion and Ghani Adams and also the role of some leaders who played significant roles in this regard, the late Ghani Fawemi, the late Dr. Bekor Ransom Kuti, also Dr. Ayo Opadokun, Dr. Ulissa Agbakoba and many more. Plus, TV met with the families of some of these late activists to relieve those moments in Nigeria's history. OPC was formed for the greater good of Nigeria. Now injustice to one is injustice to all. Now the OPC was actually formed when it was perfect as a result of the June 12th annulment. Everyone knows that June 12 started with the IBW annulling election and that date was significant because that date, my dad Ulissa Agbakoba and a few other top senior advocates and human rights activists started to struggle that, no, no, no. These leaders left behind legacies that many say will live long after them. My father was stubborn. Enahoro, gone. This one, gone. One day he will go that he lives it to the youth of this country, that if we do not fight for what is ours, what will become of Nigeria? The biggest legacy, in my view, from what I've seen is that I will actually be recognized as a president who was never allowed to govern. If he was alive, we would have insisted that he be allowed to be sworn in as president. Unfortunately, Abiola did not listen to my father's advice. In celebration of June 12th, which has been declared the new democracy day, we look at how time has affected the June 12th struggle. When Fredericio Sotofasio was there, when he was, he founded the air, he brought everybody together. The oneness, it was a purpose, you know. Now what we have now, I believe we can still go back to the drawing board, those in the arms of America, go back to the drawing board and look at it. We have a saying in Yoruba land that from the black pot comes white pop. So this is more or less the black pot now. And for him to have recognized, Abiola's pictures put amongst all the ex-presidents was out of the GCFR. At least that's what the June 12th struggle was about. While the current government enjoyed the accolades of this bold move, there's, however, concern from social commentators that what Abiola stood for are fast disappearing from our polity.
