Icheoku says this makes it a truism, Thomas Jefferson's statement, that the tree of democracy must be watered and nourished from time to time with blood of both patriots and tyrants. According to this great American patriot, blood is democracy's natural manure and so it happened that Nigerian democracy has used 520 Nigerians blood to stay alive. Icheoku asks, but did these Nigerians have to die and could their death have been ordinarily avoided; but for Imam Muhammadu Buhari's call on his supporters for the lynching of people who disagreed with his warped sense of self-righteousness? Icheoku says all those innocent Nigerians who were killed on the instigation of Buhari are patriots whose blood ushered in Jonathan's democratic presidency; what is missing however is the blood of the tyrant, Imam Muhammadu Buhari to complete Thomas Jefferson's assertion. What a shame!
