While listening to the Music/ Lyrics of Bongos Ikwue, Cock Crow at Dawn to heal the wounds created in our hearts for the past 18 years…

……I read the news as it breaks that President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, has on Wednesday June 6, 2018 declared June 12 in place of May 29 as the new Democracy Day in the country after 18 years of adopting the latter date.

WE FINALLY HEAR THE SOUND OF A COCK CROWING AT DAWN- A NEW BEGINNING- THE FIRST LIGHT OF THE DAY.

Our highly revered Yoruba elders say: (Bi iro ba lo ni ogun odun, ojo kan ni ododo ma le ba) English meaning (if lies trend for 20 years, the truth will surely cut its reign short one day), TRADE NEWSWIR reports.

(A ko gbodo bi’nu ori titi, ki a wa fi fila de ibadi, nitori ori ni fila ye, ko ye ibadi) English meaning (We must not wear a cap for the buttock simply because one is envious of the head, forgotten that cap can only and will only fit the head, it does not fit the buttock).

The Federal Government, led by Conscience of the Nation now CONSCIENCE OF DEMOCRACY and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, who is of a Fulani tribe, the Incorruptible Muhammadu Buhari GCFR, equally bestowed the highest Presidential honour of Grand Commander of the Federal Republic (GCFR) on Late Chief M.K.O Abiola, who is of a Yoruba tribe.

Late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola GCFR, was the winner of the annulled 1993 Presidential election held in Nigeria that was adjudged to be freest and fairest in the history of electioneering in Nigeria, but was denied victory by the then military government led by Ibrahim Babangida.

Late Chief M.K.O Abiola’s running mate as vice president, Ambassador Baba Gana Kingibe, would be honoured with a GCON; while late Chief Gani Fawehinmi, SAN would be awarded posthumously a GCON.

The statement reads in part, “For the past 18 years, Nigerians have been celebrating May 29th, as Democracy Day. That was the date when for the second time in our history, an elected civilian administration took over from a military government. The first time this happened was on October 21st, 1979.

“But in the view of Nigerians, as shared by this administration, June 12th, 1993, was far more symbolic of Democracy in the Nigerian context than May 29th or even the October 1st.

“June 12th, 1993 was the day when Nigerians in millions expressed their democratic will in what was undisputedly the freest, fairest and most peaceful elections since our Independence. The fact that the outcome of that election was not upheld by the then military government does not distract from the democratic credentials of that process.

“Accordingly, after due consultations, the federal government has decided that henceforth, June 12th will be celebrated as Democracy Day.

“Therefore, government has decided to award posthumously the highest honour of the land, GCFR, to late Chief MKO Abiola, the presumed winner of the June 12 1993 cancelled elections. His running mate as vice president, Ambassador Baba Gana Kingibe, is also to be invested with a GCON.

“Furthermore, the tireless fighter for human rights and the actualization of the June 12th elections and indeed for Democracy in general, the late Chief Gani Fawehinmi, SAN is to be awarded posthumously a GCON.”
