June 12: Nigeria’s annual ritual of glorifying a sham ‘democracy’, by Olu Fasan

Olu Fasan criticizes President Muhammadu Buhari's decision to make June 12 Nigeria's Democracy Day as a self-serving political move, noting that Buhari never condemned the annulment of the 1993 election until he needed South-West votes. Fasan also condemns so-called pro-democracy politicians as opportunistic and duplicitous, having colluded with generals Babangida and Abacha. He further criticizes President Bola Tinubu's national honors list for excluding vocal critics of his administration.
