ceremony of apology and award of honours, it is now time to come to terms with
the fact that the greatest tribute has not been paid to the victims of the
truncation of the nation’s democratic watershed on June 12, 1993.

Clearly, there has been in the past 25 years a
persistent clamour for restitution for the victims. Every June 12 has witnessed
calls for the closure of the sad political trajectory in the nation’s life.
President Muhammadu Buhari has apparently heeded these calls. But sadly,
Buhari’s action has rather shown the poor premium we place on life in the
country.
