@idemeko64612 @PremiumTimesng Imagine complaining about logistics. He never had intension of going to Plateau in the first place. You know how drug barons think, may be some people told him he could make some political capital from a short visit. Heartless people.

@PremiumTimesng This explanation raises a bigger question about planning and priorities. If the constraints were known in advance, then the visit could have been structured differently (either by adjusting the schedule, or by ensuring the logistics matched the intent of the trip).

Upon arrival in Jos, the visit encountered some logistical challenges. While the road distance from the airport to Jos township is approximately 40 minutes, the runway does not support night flights due to the absence of navigational aids. The constraints made it unfeasible to drive into town, meet victims for on-the-spot assessment and return to the airport before dusk. snip.ng/ohnDe

I still have a post about NADECO where I said most of the members of that group didn't believe in democracy. They were just pissed Abacha didn't invite them to the table to eat. They were equal criminals. We saw what they did with power when they had it. Enough of this guilt trip

@Irojulaiyegba @saatiku @LegendaryJoe OMPADEC was created in 1992. Ken was executed in 1995. Victor Attah mobilised for more than 13% but got 13% as a governor and not any national conference. The constitution review in 1995 recommended 13% but nothing happened until democracy with Victor Attah and co

ABACHA IS BETTER THAN DEMOCRACY ACTIVISTS - PETER AGULU-JESUS OBI MY FIERY REACTION: 1. Abacha and Ken Saro-Wiwa: A friendship that ended in a Noose. Abacha may have been a dictator to all, but to Ken he was first a friend. Ken laughed through his trial, confident Abacha would save him. But little did he know the game was lost before he knew he was playing. Ken was dealing with a merciless dictator he named friend. "Does Abacha know?" - His final desperate words before execution. The answer came not in words, but in a signature. Abacha's own hand had signed the death warrant. When soldiers showed it to him, Saro-Wiwa cried "This must be fake!" A man who laughed boldly in court wept in disbelief at ink on paper. The hanging was not enough. Abacha demanded erasure. After the executions, the bodies of Saro-Wiwa and the Ogoni Nine were loaded onto a tipper and driven to a place called Bolokiri - where soldiers poured acid over them. Their bodies melted instantly, all nine of them dumped together into a single pit. They were buried at night in unmarked graves, with heavy military presence preventing anyone from approaching the cemetery. For many years, the exact location of their remains was unknown to their families and the public. Abacha did not just want him dead - it wanted him unfindable, his legacy untraceable, his path untrackable. A voice that had echoed across the world in fight for justice, fairness and equity, reduced to liquid in a pit with no name. BUT WHAT WAS KEN SARO WIWA's CRIME? Since Royal Dutch Shell struck oil on Ogoni lands in 1958, an estimated $30 billion worth of oil had been extracted. The Ogoni - some 550,000 farmers and fishermen - received little in return except a ravaged environment. Farmland once fertile turned to contaminated fields. Uncontrolled oil spills dotted the landscape like puddles of ooze the size of football fields. Ken's crime was asking: why should the land that feeds the nation devour its own children? For demanding justice, fairness and equity for his people, Abacha arrested Ken, sentenced him to death by hanging, extinguish life from his body by the noose, and in death his body wasn't spared torture or given the dignity of final respects, his remains was dissolved in acid and his family left to carry the burden of a father lost for no just cause. Ken Saro-Wiwa - writer, griot, conscience of a people - a man who chose words over weapons and paid with his life - Peter looked at this sacrifice, still wet with the blood of martyrdom, and called it worthless. And if that were not enough sacrilege for one mouth to carry, he elevated Abacha - the butcher, the acid- pourer, the unmarked grave- digger - above every man and woman who ever raised a voice, risked a freedom, or lost a life for democracy, for a fair society, for a just Nigeria. How desperately wicked can a Man be? How demonically inspired can Peter be? Must he be President if he does not possess the brain to prosecute his cause to a desired end? Why desecrate the struggles and sacrifice of our heroes on the altar of political desperation? Peter - Hear this and let it echo through every corridor where your ambition prowls: For this sacrilege, you will never become President. Not Vice President. Your name, if not mercifully forgotten, shall be spoken only in disdain and ignominy. No evil of this magnitude must be promoted among us. No man who spits on the graves of martyrs must be handed the keys to the house they died to build. 2. ABACHA AND SHEHU YAR'ADUA Shall I Begin? Good Morning Severally.

@realFFK Dear sir neither you nor the other "NADECO" fighters for democracy have shown that you were after anything else other than power. Tinubu's democracy is worse than Abacha's military government. The mask is off.

Peter Obi's attack on NADECO and his attempt to denigrate the leaders of that movement and it's members who single handedly fought military rule and made the ultimate sacrifice for democracy in our country is a crying shame and shall not go unanswered. I recall that he worked assidiously for General Abacha whilst our NADECO leaders and footsoldiers resisted him and were being locked up, driven into exile, subjected to the most brutal form of oppression, persecution and torture, blown to pieces with bombs and slaughtered by soldiers in the streets. Worse still the unrecognised and defunct Association of Destructive C*nts (ADC) of which he is a leader has a National Chairman by the name of Brigadier General David Mark (rtd) who, in 1993, said that if the winner of the June 12th 1993 election, Chief MKO Abiola, was sworn in as President he would shoot him in the head! It is because of people like Peter, David Mark and Abacha that the military Head of State at the time, General Ibrahim Babangida, was compelled to annul Abiola's election after which the nation was thrown into chaos and turmoil with many innocent and defenceless Nigerians killed over the next 6 blood-soaked and terrifying years. Peter's Obidient supporters were not born at the time and do not know the shameful role he played in that chapter of our history but we will educate them. He was a quivering and chicken-hearted coward then and he remains one till today. He and the members of his deregistered and defunct party should be the last people to talk about fighting for democracy and accusing other's of not being democrats and of being dictators. Most of them were part and parcel of the brutal military regimes that terrorised our people and, unlike others, he did not have the guts to resist tyranny and oppression at the time but instead wholeheartedly espoused, embraced and supported it. I would advise him to keep NADECO out of his foul, irreverent and disrespectful mouth or we will take him to the cleaners. He should enjoy the democracy and free speech that we have today which others fought and died for between 1992 and 1999 and stop trying to revise history and rubbish the efforts of our heroes past. Many of us were in NADECO and we are living witnesses to what happened. We spoke out, wrote articles, suffered persecution, were locked up, were tortured were killed and were forced into exile. Some of us had our homes burnt by the military and our relatives targetted and murdered. Those were the darkest days of our history which many seem to have conveniently down played or forgotten today. Those were also the days when our country came closest into breaking into two and a second civil war was imminent. What pains me the most is when I see NADECO veterans like Dele Momodu and Rauf Aregbesola in the ranks of these people who are rubbishing their past sacrifices. Imagine Rauf holding the microphone for David Mark the architect of Abiola's woes and one of the reasons he is no longer alive today in a press conference? In fairness to Atiku Abubakar he opposed Abacha too but Obi was firmly in bed with him and Mark was one of the primary architects of the annulment of June 12th. The blood of all our colleagues and compatriots that were killed at that time still pains and hurts us and we shall NEVER forget them. That innocent blood that was spilt by the Government he supportred shall haunt Obi for the rest of his life and disqualifies him from EVER becoming President or playing a key role in the affairs of our great country again. Others stood, spoke out and fought like men at the time but, like the French General Vichy who betrayed his people and collaborated with the Nazis during World War 11, Peter capitulated, bowed, trembled, bent the knee, betrayed our people and collaborated with our oppressors and our collective enemy. Yet today he has the nerve to open his mouth and seek to denigrate those that refused to do so. Shame!

@Irojulaiyegba @saatiku @LegendaryJoe False. Obong Victor Attah has the credit for 13% derivation. Ken did what he did but got nothing from the military. Victor Attah as governor mobilised effectively and eventually got it into law. Don't conflate issues here. Ken put up a struggle that led to the death of 4 elders

@saatiku @zubymadu @LegendaryJoe So you both believe that an internationally acclaimed writer will arrange murder without understanding the consequences? Ok. In the meantime, the Ogoni elders did not deserve death in any case. They wr accused of collecting bribes to undermine the Ogoni agitation and were mobbed.

@saatiku @zubymadu @LegendaryJoe The Ogoni 9 were arraigned for murder of 4 Ogoni elders which was committed with none of them present or having premeditated it. Ken was offered a ministerial position just like some members of nadeco and civil society were but je respectfully declined. Abacha felt insulted.

President Bola Tinubu visited Plateau State not only as the nation's consoler-in-Chief but also as its Commander-in-Chief. His words were clear, imbued with deep concern and compassion. He showed unvarnished empathy and care. Wearing the hat of the Commander-in-Chief, he was unequivocal about dealing with the intrinsic, the very elemental cause of the crisis on the Plateau, stating: "We must break the shackles of death". Words must be matched with action; this is where the President is showing leadership, finding enduring solutions, with empathy at its core.
