It is even most preposterous that IBB will only now be insulting the intelligence of Nigerians that he annulled their mandate to forestall a violent coup, which, by reasonable inference, he was aware of.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe lost the opportunity of being the hero of democracy and father of a new Nigeria, an eternal regret that no whitewashing on television can redeem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, it is no gain saying the fact that the present administration has made saints of all previous administrations in every aspect of governance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also said the President Muhammadu Buhari government has failed in the areas of his promises to Nigerians on security, economy and anti corruption.<\/p>\n<p>Ebiseni said the Babangida regime cannot be accused of sectional and sectarian disposition which is the hallmark of the Buhari government.<\/p>\n<p>Afenifere also faulted the demand for 24 sureties by the federal high court, Abuja, for the 12 aides of Sunday Adeyemo, youth leader, popularly known as Sunday Igboho.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Obiora Egwatu, presiding judge, while ruling on bail application for the aides, had admitted the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10 and 11th applicants to bail in the sum of N5 million and two sureties each.<\/p>\n<p>Also reacting to the comment, the leader of Afenifere, Ayo Adebanjo described\u00a0the bail conditions as \u201cimpossible\u201d, noting that the bail conditions show evidence of the \u201cauthoritarian regime\u201d of President Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n<p>Adebanjo questioned why the 12 Igboho\u2019s aides were admitted on what he described as \u201cheavy bail\u201d when they did not committed murder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat have they done? You locked them up and detained them, then you are asking for impossible bail?\u201d Adebanjo questioned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is part of the oppression of this government. What is their charge to warrant such heavy bail? Murder? Stealing or what?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey woke them up and bundled them to Abuja, killed some of them and those that are alive are given impossible bail. What further evidence of authoritarian regime do we need?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is unfair. Only God will save us from Buhari. It is an unfair position for bail but I appeal to Yoruba sons and daughters to bail them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yoruba socio-cultural group identified as Afenifere has slammed the former military president, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) over his excuse for annulling the June 12 election.
