THE ROUGH AND LONG ROAD TO DEMOCRACY….LEST WE FORGET

Opinion:

By Snr. Chief ‘Lekan Alabi

If today we bask in the euphoria of an emerging democracy, through the credible, free and fair elections, we must not forget the sacrifices many living and dead patriots made to wrestle power from the deadly clutches of anti-democratic forces, bloody and evil forces at that!.

Many Nigerians paid the supreme price for our emerging freedom.

May the valiant souls of all our dead heroes/heroines continue to rest in perfect peace. Amen.

In the light of the foregoing, it is my pleasurable duty to recall the struggles of the media, the ASSOCIATION FOR DEMOCRACY IN NIGERIA (ADIN), the MKO ABIOLA DYNAMIC GROUP, etc

Welcome to a new democratic, equitable, steady and united Nigeria.
