after Babangida, as it was clearly revealed by his terror reign afterwards, especially his ruthlessness against democratic voices, however, IBB being a political ‘Maradona’ could have done better to check Abacha and his power drunk cohorts. To us the poor handling of Abacha and his clique was a clear leadership failure on the part of IBB inspite of his absolute power.
In the light of the confession and revelation made by IBB in his book, we wish to affirm that a very clear basis has again been created for Nigeria to initiate an urgent National Commission and process for National Reconciliation and Healing, in the mode of the Oputa panel, that can ultimately convene a major national conference of all Nigerian stakeholders to move the country forward from its animosities and mistrust and in undoing all the ills of the past, while agreeing on compensations and reparations among Nigerian stakeholders, especially among those unjustly and unfairly treated by successive governments in Nigeria; as this will help us start afresh as a people and create a new Nigeria that works for all.
For us in the June 12 Movement, some of those entitled to immediate compensations are members of the MKO Abiola family, Relations of those who were killed, maimed or incarcerated in connection with their roles in the June 12 democratic struggles as well as families of those who suffered various political persecutions and undue deaths under various military regimes in Nigeria. To this end, The June 12 Democracy Movement of Nigeria shall be organising a major stakeholders’ roundtable soon to chart the way forward for the country, and recommendations therefrom shall be shared with various relevant authorities and stakeholders in Nigeria.
