OMG Brilliant!!!
Popular stand-up comedian and MC, Francis Agoda, popularly known as I Go Dye has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to prosecute Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, who annulled June 12 election of 1993, which Late M.KO. Abiola won.
He said Babangida should be thrown behind the bar should he fail to apologise to Nigerians for depriving them the gains of an election adjudged to be the fairest and freest in the history of Nigeria.
I Go Dye made his opinion known in an open letter to the President in commemoration of the new status of June 12 supplanting May 29th as the Democracy Day.
“Honestly speaking, why should we ignore the man that conspired with others unknown to Nigerians to deny us the freedom and joy of celebrating the most peaceful elections conducted in Nigeria? IBB should apologise to Nigerians for annulling June 12 election. If he fails to do so, he should be prosecuted.
“The recent announcement on the June 12 issue cannot be complete without stating the final results of the elections. It is worthy to recall, just as Goodluck Jonathan gave room for a free and fair election by conceding defeat to you ,which is the greatest honour accorded him today, so will you be highly respected if you totally announce the outcome of the 1993 Presidential elections. This will be the biggest achievement of your administration in it’s fight against corruption.
“After the June 12 saga, majority of Nigerians lost hope in the electoral process and have found it extremely difficult to even collect their voters card or participate in elections. They have continued to live on the assumption that votes don’t count.
“I strongly advise President Buhari, to make them believe that their votes will begin to count again and step up the standard by immediately revealing the true outcome of the 1993 election,with a view to discouraging recurrence in the future and if need be, prosecute those that perpetrated this act against the will of Nigerians,” he said.
He concluded the letter by advising the President not to let another take the shine off him by completing what he had started.
“I appeal to Mr President, reminding him that millions of Nigerians, are anxiously waiting for him to direct INEC to finally declare MKO Abiola as the president-elect in the 1993 elections. Sir, do not allow this opportunity to pass you by, because if you don’t complete this issue, someone else will take the full honour in the nearest future to announce the results to Nigerians
“Take the pride; show that extraordinary bravery and write your name in the heart of the nation ,as the hero of our new democracy by declaring the winner once and for all,” the letter read.

I go die.. Don't go there ooooo.
ReplyDeleteNo leave I go die! a
DeleteWhen Tilapia starts feeling like it can venture into the ocean & join Sharks! You better stick to making us laugh on stage.
Well said
ReplyDeleteBrilliant letter. But he worshipped Abacha nah and that would make it hard for him to do. I dey ya back I go dye on this. Let him prosecute him and start the fight against corruption again. After that he can move to Abdulsalam.
DeleteI go dye, the person you are asking to prosecute another is also a beneficiary of the annulment, as he was made the PTF chairman by the Abacha administration. They are all birds of identical plumage...
ReplyDeletewow this is a wonderful advice and initiative coming from you i go die. i respect you for this. thank you
ReplyDeleteWell said but it won't happen. He doesn't have the balls to do so!
ReplyDeleteThis is so true. I go Live, you are always right
ReplyDeleteI go dye... I respect you as a man and a comedian but I think you are going too far... Why don't you concentrate on other important issues like telling the president to great job, good health care, security and all... Telling the President to prosecute Babangida is not the way forward becoz they are all cliques of "Army generals" they don't disgrace themselves like civilians do . They know how to cover each others mess, ask urself why President Buhari still respect ObJ so much or didn't you see during the presidents swearing and how Obj was issuing orders to him"military word"..An army General is always respected by fellow army generals. Retired or serving...Bro relax and don't allow the respect people have for you to go down like erosion.. Talk more on current positive issues bro. If the President did not acknowledge Abiola(rip) would you have come out to say this? What made you think President didn't consult Banbangida, Obj, Gowon and others before he acknowledged Abiola few days ago.. Bro use your head and brain for a better challenge.. We need job,cheap food, quality healthcare, education and security OK..#Onelove bro, I am still your no 1fan.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, its good to have a voice that can be heard, but saying the right thing at the right time & projected to the required angle is another thing altogether
DeleteYou are one of the reasons Nigeria is in this mess
DeleteJust listen to yourself @ Excellent Original. So he should shut up and not go so far cos you prefer him strictly as a comedian and so he should hold no view and never air any?
DeletePeople like you...people like you are cancer. Honesty! A briliant idea and write up should be shushed all because you think the writer is not accomplished enough to broach such topics but should scurry into a hole and just be a spectator.
And for you to silently agree tha certain individuals are sacred cows and no one should ever dream of calling them to account is just disheartening.
Long Live Nigeria.
Dont mind him. Prosecute IBB ko, prosecute ni.
DeleteWho is this excellent original, you sound has someone who doesn't thinks and understand before typing
DeleteWhy can't you just understand the message before spilling rubbish
You should know he was giving out his opinion about the June 12 issue.cos for the past 2-3 days it has been the most talk about issue in nigeria,can't you just read properly and understand.
He is just sharing is opinion and suggestion towards the June 12 issue like all other Nigerians
Very billiant Indeed but this is Nigeria when it comes politics Especially some one like babagida you mind what ya saying and face ya work...I do dye please I love you make dem no send Assassin to you ooo..
ReplyDeleteAaaaaaashum(sneeze) what did u say? Go get your PVC broda and prepare for next year.
ReplyDeleteSo true but its not happening
ReplyDeleteFrancis Agoda, Ngida is a dangerous man oh, democracy, democracy, na who dey alive dey demo dey craze, abeg choose your words carefully. You have become a political critic which is good and we need more of you that have a platform to help change Naija but watch your utterances.
ReplyDeleteRemember this is still the nation where killer of the Attorney General is yet to be prosecuted. Stay alive for ya whitey wife and kids.
'Yimuing' @ this letter.
ReplyDeleteWho is I go dye to suggest such..
SAI BABA CANT TRY IT. Ahead ahead and talk about d future jare not looking for prosecution of something that is impossicant.
I go die abeg leave this people alone
ReplyDeleteBuhari doesn't have the liver.
ReplyDeleteHave we all forgotten so soon that Buhari himself was a beneficiary of the June 12 annulment.
ReplyDeleteHe was made PTF chairman where it was alledged that he embezzled funds.
Plus we forget that he praises the same General Abacha that headed the cacus that threatened General IBB.
Buhari is a snake and cannot prosecute IBB because if he does IBB will spill on everybody that ganged up against Abiola and BUHARI'S role in the annulment will come up.
whether Buhari wants it or not come 2019 he must return to his village...No matter how many people he honors with title as bribe we will not vote for him.
LEP😛
Seriously!!!
ReplyDeleteNice one I go dye..
ReplyDeleteBabangida is the strong man they could not arrest.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 10:42..I am not the cause of your problems? so why don't your read and comprehend... You are hiding under I go dye's comment to chat unnecessarily..
