1993 election: Publish results of June 12 – Afenifere tells Buhari

Afenifere Renewal Group (ARG), has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to publish the result of the June 12, 1993 election, widely believed to have been won by the late MKO Abiola.

Olawale Oshun, in a statement on Saturday, said as a “beneficiary of a ballot revolution”, Buhari owed Nigerians the duty of declassifying the result of that election.

He said: “June 12 is no longer a struggle but now an obligation. The people have played their own part. It is now the obligation of the beneficiaries of that struggle to set the country on a truly democratic path by deliberately replacing every stamp of military rule on Nigeria’s nationhood, including the imposed governance structure and constitution, through democratic rights and tenets. There is no alternative way to deepen democracy in Nigeria,” Oshun said in a statement.

“Let nobody be deceived. Until the federal government takes conscious steps to restructure Nigeria, the country will continue to wobble from one crisis of nationhood to another. To continue to ignore this necessity is a tacit support by elected officials for everything that transpired during the military era and this is why military rule has transited to ‘do or die’ politics and citizens now believed they have a right to take up arms against their country.

“ARG therefore called on President Buhari to see himself as best poised to help Nigeria make this transition. This can be his best legacy and the starting point, we dare say, is to release the June 12 presidential election result and its winner appropriately recognised and honoured.”
