Which of the following three things do you think should break IBB’s heart the most: The opportunity he missed being a national hero and an international statesman with the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election won fair and square by MKO Abiola; the death of his wife Maryam; and his present state of health? Despite the many shenanigans of IBB, his many sins would still have been forgiven had he allowed the June 12, 1993 presidential election to stand, and had he relinquished power to a democratically-elected government like Olusegun Obasanjo before him and Abubakar Abdulsalami after him both did.

The hullaballoo that attended the election of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the vicious agitation that has trailed it ever since have kept me wondering whether there is anything to the Tinubu election that was absent in the elections before it. When they allege rigging, previous elections have been rigged; even more scandalously, more blatantly and more brazenly. For instance, the late President Umaru Yar’Adua was forthright enough to admit, publicly, that the election that brought him to power was tainted. How did Obasanjo as sitting president capture all but one (Lagos) Alliance for Democracy (AD) states in 2003 and how did another sitting president, Muhammadu Buhari, "win" reelection in 2019? Still, the roof was not brought down over our heads!
