As we celebrate the great events that followed the annulled election of June 12 1993, let us not forget that…
The following day, NEC will accept to temporarily call off the general strike after accepting the meagre offer on the table while claiming offer demands will be eventually met. Workers who had been mobilised, riled up and emotionally charged would be demobilized, downcast and disappointed with their radical leaders who suddenly turned coat and became docile and “reasonable”. That’s the end of the story until the next general strikes.
To distract Nigerians from the first-year poor performance in governance, the President and his cronies in the National Assembly decided to divert attention from ongoing criticisms by passing and signing the Bill on reverting to the old National Anthem.
The Emirate which predates the Nigerian State is not a product of statute and cannot therefore be disbanded by statute as the Ganduje Government did. The Government can remove Emirs with just cause as allowed by law but cannot dissolve the Emirate and recreate new ones.

The naira played its part and has been rising steadily desperately searching for its true market value, which it turns out, is still very far away. The result is a “misery crisis” as cost of living rise beyond the incomes of ordinary citizens whose naira is too small to enable them purchase food and hunger and anger spreads throughout the land. The President who always tells Nigerians that he understands their pains then offers a solution and orders distribution of free grains from the Strategic Food Reserves. It turned out the civil servants forgot to brief him that the reserves are empty.
