Then Abiola was arrested after the Ipetedo declaration. Assassinations, state sponsored killing was unleashed on the society. Our polity changed forever. They stood by June 12, on June 12, under June 12, against June 12. Some are millionaires now. Godfathers. Some are poor. Destinies changed. Abiola is yet to be properly honoured. GEJ announced a honour for him. The students said they did not want a University named Moshood. I learnt a lesson from that, Nigeria and Nigerians are not worth dying for. The politicians know this. So it is them and their families only. Why not? Abiola was a large man. June 12 was a defining moment. We voted a “Muslim-Moslem” ticket. God might have been kind to Abiola with death. Who knows? I have to always celebrate June 12. It is also my mom’s birthday. Another great person. On June 12, I dance and reflect.
