Tinubu Fars on Lamido says: “I defended June 12”

The presidency of Sunday 22 June 205, said that, contrary to the statements that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu worked against the actualization of 12 June 1993, the registers available at the then Senate showed that he claimed to support the elections of 12 June and did not work against it.

The presidency also denied the accusation of Lamido according to which the mother of Tinubu, Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji, mobilized market women to support the cancellation of June 12, stressing that the accusations were clearly false.

A declaration by Bayo Onanuga, the president’s special councilor for information and strategy, said that Alhaji Lamido’s statements represented a distortion of history and a deplorable attempt at revisionism.

The president Tinubu, who was reacting to the recent comments of Alhaji Sule Lamido, former governor of the State of Jigawa, on live television, in which he accused the president of supporting the cancellation of 12 June 1993, said that the candidate of June 12, the part of the candidate, the Mkola, the Mkio, the Mkio, the Mkio, the Mkio, the Mkio, the Mkio, the Mkio, the Mkio, the Mkio. Mkio, Mkio, Mkio, Mkio, Mkio, Mkio, Mkio, Mkio, Mkio, Mkio, Mko, Mko, won the Nigerians, the Mko, Mko, won the Nigerians, the Nigerian. Those who have not managed to oppose the army injustice.

Lamido had said that President Tinubu became important only after the formation of Nadeco and said that the mother of Tinubu, Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji, mobilized market women to support cancellation.

However, the declaration of his spokesperson, said Omanuga; “Let us make the record clear: Alhaja Mogaji has never mobilized the market women to support unfair cancellation. If he had done it, he would have lost his position as a market leader in Lagos. While once he had a personal relationship with the then President Babangida, he was before the announcement crisis.

“The Leadership of the SDP, including Lamido, wrote their names in the book of infamy by surrendering the mandate of the people without resistance. With their eternal shame, Lamido … joined the National Republican Convention defeated to deny the Mandate of Abiola.

“In clear contrast, Senator Bola Tinubu was stopped even before General Abacha dissolved political parties and all democratic institutions, including the National Assembly, on November 17, 1993, following his coup.

“Days after General Babangida turned to the Senate and announced his decision to take part on August 27, 1993, the establishment of an interim government to replace him, the senators discussed the speech. On the Senate floor on August 19, 1993, Tinubu condemned the cancellation in an unequivocal way, describing it as another coup, said injustification,” he said.

The declaration also states that the registers have captured the contribution of Tinubu, showing that he claimed to support the elections of 12 June, not against it, as Lamido said.

“We have a situation that suggests that the abortion of the elections of June 12 is another coup d’état,” said Senator Tinubu. “My question is: when we stop tolerating injustices, coup d’état and abuse by the people on which we have invested so many resources: the public funds of this country? … Yes, is it true that we have a crisis, but for every action there is no reaction. The law. Therefore, the current military administration, by virtue of the repeal and violation of its decree, has committed a crime,” said the Senator of Lagos West to his. colleagues.

The declaration also stated that the electoral winner, Abiola, was out of the country when legislators discuss Babangida’s offer to get aside for a provisional government, adding that he returned in September 1993.

He also said; “And who followed him to the military group of Abacha, then openly planning a coup d’état against Ernest Shonekan’s Inge of Ernest? It was Tinubu. The photographs exist today, showing Tinubu behind Abiola and Abacha.

“Abachach took over on November 17, 1993 and dissolved all the democratic institutions, including governors, the national assembly and the state legislator. Tinubu and a group of senators recognized themselves in Lagos, challenging the junta.

“Tinubu, Ameh Ebute, Abu Ibrahim and others were arrested and kept in Alagbon. The police brought them to court and made a case against them. During the detention of the police, Tinubu continued to finance protests pro-giugno 12 in Lagos, including the blockage of the third continental bridge.

“Weeks after Abachac has supplanted Eng, it became quickly clear to Abiola and Tinubu that Abacha would not have been a soldier of democracy while he denied to allow ABIOLA to claim his mandate.

“He entered the National Democratic Coalition (Nadeco). He was born on May 15, 1994. Understanding a large coalition of Nigerian Democrats, he invited the military government of Sani Abacha to resign in favor of the winner of 12 June 1993, Mko Abiola.

“On the first anniversary of his elections, Abiola made a statement to Epetedo in Lagos, announcing himself as the duly elected president. Ten days later, on June 22, he was arrested, following which many pro-democratic activists fled by Nigeria, including Bola Tinubu, also fled.

“Tinubu lived in exile for almost five years while Lamido and his kind made agreements with Abacha. While Tinubu was away, the agents of the junta bombed his home in Balarabe Musa Crescent, Victoria Island.

“Fortunately, Lamido admitted that Tinubu played a significant role in Nadeco. In fact, Tinubu has done more. He also supported Nalicon of Professor Wole Soyinka, offering material resources to feed the struggle.

“It is known that Tinubu played a leading role in the agitation against the cancellation of 12 June. Many leaders and journalists of Nadeco in exile and home have openly admitted that Tinubu has supported them and provided them with the struggle for the struggle.

“With his narrative, Lamido appeared confused for the role of Nadeco. It was a branch of the crisis of 12 June. Nadeco has provided a platform to channel the struggle. So far, all the resistance has been left to groups for civil rights, journalists and a work section, such as Nupeng,” he said.

The presidency stated that it was disappointing that Alhaji Lamido, despite having recognized the role of Nadeco di Tinubu, would have tried to rewrite the story for political reasons and be a member of the discontent coalition.

He also said; “We recommend Lamido to control his facts before going on television to spread falsehood. It does not help his image and the coalition that belongs to commit himself to revisionism. Revisionism does not need the cause of the truth or interests of our nation.

“We do not want to believe that Alhaji Lamido suffers from what psychologists call high poppy syndrome. However, the conclusion is inevitable as it seems that Lamido is envious of the democratic credentials of Tinubu.

“The facts remain clear: the president Tinubu was – and remains – a detention supporter of democracy, in contrast with the Lamido record and others who capitalized in the face of military oppression and intimidation”.
