PRESIDENT JONATHAN GOODLUCK TELLS IT AS IT IS, TO BABANGIDA?

"We salute the illustrious memories of the M. K. O. Abiolas, the Shehu Musa Yar’Aduas, the Alfred Rewanes and the Gani Fawehinmis. The sacrifices that our compatriots living and dead have made to enthrone democracy should compel us to take our democratic enterprise more seriously and with greater vigilance. "We must work to ensure that by the supreme sacrifices of these great heroes, it should no longer be necessary for the tree of freedom to be watered by the blood of yet more martyrs." - President Jonathan Goodluck. Icheoku says, it is about time someone reminded Babangida of the numerous atrocities he committed, aided and abetted in Nigeria; and that there is no way in hell he would ever be allowed to rule Nigeria again! The 'labor of Nigeria's heroes past' would be in vain if their traducer in chief, Babangida, is allowed to get away with his heinous crimes. Nigeria would have also failed in taking their hard-won democratic enterprise seriously and with greater vigilance, were they ever to allow Babangida to come back to power. Recall that anti-democracy Babangida sabotaged Nigeria's democracy twice - in December 1983 when he overthrew President Shehu Shagari and again in 1993 when he annulled MKO Abiola's freest and fairest election! However, why did President Jonathan miss out Fela Anikulapo Kuti, the 'ebam eda' of democracy struggle in his recognitions? Away with Babangida, say no to IBB 2011.
