Before the last Nigerian presidential election win of May 29, 2023, I wrote in this same forum that Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu had the capacity and democratic pedigree to lead Nigeria. That view was grounded in his role in Nigeria’s pro-democracy struggles, especially during the military regime of General Sani Abacha. Today, I appeal to President Tinubu to reaffirm those values by helping to resolve the protracted case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu—not by force, but...

1 2th June’s Promise, Broken Chains

12th June’s dawn was meant to rise, With voices strong, with clearer skies, Yet echoes of a silenced past Still haunt the halls where futures cast.   Democracy, a sacred word, Yet who shall heed when truth is blurred?
