The Tale of June 12: The Betrayal of the Democratic Rights of Nigerians (1993)
New product

Nigeria joined in the ranks of countries denying the right of choice to their citizens when on June 23,1993, the presidential election held two weeks earlier was nullified by virtue of a statement, unsigned and undated, issued on a piece of paper that bore no seal of government.
The Tale of June 12 examines the issues and events surrounding the bizarre and momentous decision. Prof Omo Omoruyi was General Babagida’s friend and closest political confidant throughout his eight-year stint as military president. Thus, his account of the June 12 presidential election debacle is both authentic and riveting. Once and for all, it puts paid to all the rumours, speculations and outright lies that passed for analyses of one of the most turbulent periods of Nigeria’s chequered political history.
