A Twitter user sharing the video, wrote;
This was MKO Abiola speaking 25years ago about the issues of corruption, nepotism, opacity of the NNPC, over-dependence on oil, etc. 2&half decades later, we are still here, probably worse.
Those who clapped & stood with him then are the ones enslaving us today. #DemocracyDay
Those who cheered as he promised an end to tyranny & corruption are today cheering tyranny, looting & impoverishing our citizens.
Nigerians must unite against the stagnation of the majority by a few as was in ‘93.
“We are one nation under God, or aren’t we?” #DemocracyDay
