The Supreme court earlier recently discharged and acquitted the Senate Present Bukola Saraki of the charges brought against him by the Federal Government.

There is now a very engaging and interesting discourse going on June 12 courtesy of General Buhari’s surprise recognition of that watershed election that brought Nigerians together. Lest we get swamped by inanities, I believe we should first review some of the history and perspective to all that is happening now over that June 12 Democracy Day Declaration.
