National Honours Will Heal Agelong Historical Grievances Obasa
The conferment of national honours by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, yesterday, June 12, on some of the personalities who laboured or lost their lives as the case may be for Nigeria’s democracy to survive and thrive has been described by the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. (Dr) Mudashiru Obasa as a potent panacea for healing age-long historical grievances.Indeed, during his June 12 Democracy Day address to a joint sitting of the National Assembly in Abuja, President Tinubu announced 139 National Honours to recognise the outstanding contributions of heroes who have shaped Nigeria’s democracy. Notably, the President said, “68 of these honours were awarded posthumously, acknowledging the enduring legacy of their sacrifices. In addition, I exercised my constitutional powers to grant a presidential pardon to the ‘Ogoni Nine,’ who were also honoured with national recognition.”Some of the nationalists honoured include Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka (GCON); General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua (GCFR), late Pa. Alfred Rewane (CFR), late Chief Bola Ige (CFR), and late Kudirat Abiola, the slain wife of Chief MKO Abiola, the presumptive winner of the June 12, 1993, presidential election, regarded as the freest and fairest in Nigeria’s electoral odyssey.In a statement signed by Adeshina Oyetayo, his Special Adviser on Research, Media, and Documentation, Speaker Obasa recalled that the President started living up to his words since last year by declaring June 12 a public holiday to commemorate Nigeria’s Democracy Day, honouring activist Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other Ogoni martyrs executed by the regime of General Sani Abacha for alleged murder in November 1994, and now granting them full pardon and posthumous national honours.He said, “Remembering to honour these distinguished Nigerians, some of whom sacrificed their lives for the democracy that we enjoy today, is a very patriotic, honourable, and commendable thing to do by Mr. President.“This gesture underscores Mr President’s promise last year that he would address historical grievances by fostering dialogue, reconciliation, and healing among all ethnic nationalities that make up our great nation.”Further, the Speaker described the national honours conferment as “an indubitable reminder that the labour of our heroes past shall never be in vain, and building blocks to bequeathing a great, prosperous, and united nation that posterity will be proud of.”

They Wanted to Kill Us But We Still Fought Fayemi Remembers Pro Democracy Fighters
Back in the 1990s, when Nigeria was under the rule of the military, many people risked their lives to fight for democracy. One of them was Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the former Governor of Ekiti State. In an interview with Channels Television, he shared a story that most people had never heard before. It was about the time he smuggled radio transmitters into Nigeria to help the underground station, Radio Kudirat. That station was a secret voice of resistance against the military government after Chief MKO Abiola’s election win in 1993 was cancelled.Dr. Fayemi said, “I could have been arrested on that flight and simply disappeared, like many others at the time.” He explained that he was on an Air France flight that was supposed to land in Cotonou, Benin Republic, but ended up in Lagos. He was carrying radio transmitters in his luggage. These were not just gadgets—they were tools of truth that helped people hear what was really going on, especially when the government tried to silence every voice that spoke against them.He made it clear that the people involved in this kind of struggle were not acting without thought. “It wasn’t that we were reckless or unaware of the dangers. We simply focused on doing what we believed was right,” he said. He remembered that during those times, many people were being watched. Some were killed. Some just disappeared. And yet, people like him kept going because they believed that Nigeria could be better.Fayemi said that later, when the military left power, some people came out and admitted they had been involved in plans to kill those fighting for democracy. These were real threats, not just stories. Still, the people involved didn’t stop. They believed in the cause with their whole hearts. “They weren’t foolish. They believed in the cause. Their families bore the weight of the struggle as much as those on the frontlines,” he said.He also spoke about how the actions of people during that time helped Nigeria break free from the idea that the military could solve all the country’s problems. That idea was finally broken, and it opened the door to civilian rule. Dr. Fayemi gave credit to the transitional government led by Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar. He admitted it wasn’t perfect, but he believed it was a needed step to move forward.The story Dr. Fayemi shared reminds people that Nigeria’s democracy did not come easy. It came from the courage, pain, and efforts of people who risked their lives. Their stories are not often told, but without them, the Nigeria we have today might not exist. What he did, carrying those transmitters, could have cost him his life. But it helped carry the voices of freedom to people who needed hope.
