Investiture of MKO Abiola & Gani Fawehinmi

President Buhari conferred posthumous honours of Grand Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic (GCFR) on Chief MKO Abiola and Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON) on Chief Gani Fawehinmi at the Special National Honours Investiture on Tuesday, June 12th. Alhaji Babagana Kingibe was also conferred the honour of GCON at the event.

However, Prof. Wole Soyinka told the President to stop ‘creating confusion’ in the minds of Nigerians. “It is not possible to honour MKO Abiola in one breath and then admire his tormentor in another breath.”

Another ex-Governor Jailed

Former Plateau State Governor (1999 - 2007), Joshua Dariye was sentenced to 14 Years imprisonment by Justice Adebukola Banjoko of the FCT High Court. He was convicted for diverting N1.16 billion in July 2001 and prosecuted by the EFCC. Justice was eventually served after 11 years! Recall that former Taraba State Governor (1999-2007), Jolly Nyame was also sent to 14 years imprisonment by the same judge. There are other highprofile politicians whose corruption cases have stalled in the courts. We hope justice will be served soon.
