JUNE 12: DEMOCRACY OR ABIOLA? - By Hon. Alo

Credible election ever, most say, until this decade
No sun, No rain, No militarizing, No pre and post violence
Few decided for all, yet widely accepted
Of the People, By the People and For the People.

Annulment outrageous and daylight robbery
Samuel Doe and Treachery
Kudirat and Adultery
Names and Vices
Aare Ona Kakanfo
Couldnt get home

Indeed philanthropism only got him the mandate
How he couldnt get the mantle
Question for the Dead
Answers Locked up in Maradona's heart

Kashimawo, the 23rd son and first survivor
How long do we forgive the "annuler"
Not for your death
But for OUR FIRST RIGHT
That he maimed and made vain


We trusted you
After you seemed to have loved us
Then, It was not just enough
You ate, you dined with all forces
The good, The bad, Even the Baddest
Who knows,
What you could have offered them
With your reign

Today,
Not your day
But NIGERIA day
We spoke in one ACCORD
Through you though
Heavenlies, if they respect you
Intercede on our behalf
That NIGERIA speaks in one voice
That of love, unity and progress
