ZACHIE:
Pardoning Ken Saro Wíwà and conferring national honours on him and the Ogoni9 is quite thoughtful.

Not just thoughtful, it was the right thing to do. He has buried Abacha in eternal shame with this act.

The Ogoni9 will never be forgotten for their bravery.

Why didn't past governments didn't see the huge reservoir of goodwill in pardoning the Ogoni9 all these years? Munafiki Obj would never have done it, anyway.

Tinubu is strategically placing himself in the good books of some block votes. No doubt.

He can easily get this block of votes by easing the difficulty people are ing through! Things are difficult. Nigerians are suffering.

Agbegbaorogboye:

How many ogoni people have you spoken with

Abiiii are you only stagnant on NairaLand

Emeskhalifa:


It is very possible her husband never discussed with her why he executed them.

But she knows everything about the heist her husband oversaw of our common wealth.

Is releasing kanu not more important than this?

kanu is a terrorist and tgreath to Nigeria as a whole.
A man who orederd the killing of a sitting Governor (Sanwo Olu) killing of police men and destruction of police station, ordered the killing of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu when he wasn't in power and to destroy is properties.
Tvc was burnt and many of his properties.
Ordered the killing of his own people who failed go observe Monday sit at home.
Now compare this to individuals fithing for their people and land.

This is one of the requirements that the Ogoni people asked for before allowing the restart of exploration. With this move and the return of crude oil exploration, Nigeria may go to 3 million to 4 million barrels of crude before 2031. We may actually be so awashed in petroleum products and derivatives that will be sell to all African Nations and be super Rich.

Tinubu is a GO. Nigeria will be GREAT soon.

"Furthermore, I also confer posthumous national honours on Ken Saro Wiwa (CON), the leader of the Ogoni Nine and his fellow travellers, Saturday Dobee (OON), Nordu Eawo (OON), Daniel Gbooko (OON), Paul Levera (OON), Felix Nuate (OON), Baribor Bera (OON), Barinem Kiobel (OON), and John Kpuine (OON). I shall also be exercising my powers under the prerogative of mercy to grant these national heroes a full pardon, together with others whose names shall be announced later in conjunction with the National Council of State."

Sometime one need to apply wisdom in tackling issues and problems. Releasing him will crush the security issues in the south east, that's the real issue.

Except maybe they are benefitting from the security crisis in the south east

Does it mean that the former presidents ignored this?

WizardOfNG:


What is the NDDC and the Tinubu newly created SSDC meant to do if not what you request? Please think before you rush to post hastily out of bitterness and hatred for others.

Tinubu has tried, as no previous President has, for all region with all geo-political blocs of Nigeria now having development commission the FG is funding to operate.

Think before u rush to post hastily out of stupidity and rudderless towards others... Has ogoni been cleaned up till date? Whose table does the buck stop? If these agencies are not empowered and hounded to work who do u think people will blame? I repeat,seeing to the clean up of ogoni is the real honor here..the reason the man fought and died anyway

I thought they say fubara will be pardon today.. Even Nnamdi Kanu no hope..

President Bola Tinubu

What a commendable Presidential gesture!! Now the national healing began.

Does it make any difference? Abeg who go add to my comment make im reach Seun40?

This is a good news. Abacha oni kuure, well done Tinubu

CJStarz:

Yes, it does. Officially, they're no longer criminals.

Good and thoughtful from the presidency.

However, I would have loved that the case be reopened, the military trial that convicted them be declared a mistrial, the case retried in a CIVILIAN COURT and they be declared discharged and acquitted.

Pardon is good, but they were never guilty in the first place, the evil military junta and their kangaroo court did injustice to them and that injustice must be corrected.

Cmanforall:


Compulsory no be joke


I didn’t reach, let’s try again

You can hit your space bar 40 times and you would book a space. It’s as easy as that. Seun’s bot could count those empty strokes as characters, except Seun goes back to rewrite the codes that comments can’t be full of empty space bars.

Kewekubosineh:
Tinubu should have used this opportunity to grant state pardon to Nnamdi KANU,ipob leader under incarceration.

The ovation would have been loudest and provide the window for national reconciliation.
He has missed the opportunity.

Leaders all over the world gauge the mood of the nation and act accordingly. The Nnamdi KANU case is a sore on our national psyche and Deep divide on national integration.

Tinubu got this wrong!

Trust me, if he had pardoned Kanu, you would have had one nasty thing to say about him.

There's absolutely nothing Tinubu would do to please you people.

"Witch no fit like good things"

BabaAgba79:


Please, try not to get killed by another man! If Tinubu had been killed before he took off on excile, he wouldnt have become the Nigerian President!

Yeah, just try to stay alive first. Who kpai, him own don finish.

FireUpNow:
Will this appease the late Ken Sarowiwa?

I hope you're not trying to hang his execution on Tinubu as usual.

Godfullsam:
He should also grant presidential pardon to mazi Nnamdi kanu.

Maize Nnamdi Kanu? No way. The maize should grow mature first before harvesting.

On a more serious note, it's a travesty for you to compare that lousy, hateful, demented fellow to the heroes of Ogoni land.

President Bola Tinubu

That's an awesome one from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

chiiraq802:
Some tribe are discrediting what the president did while the Ogoni people, the tribe ken saro wiwa is actually from are having a positive feelings about it.

So Sarowiwa actually committed a crime that warrants a pardon? And what has this changed or will change in Ogoni land?

AdUlAM:
late Ken sarowiwa is coming back to life later in the evening to collect his title. shebi I tell una say the man nor well?

When Tinubu said some people have "Poverty of the Mind" you are the specimen he was referring to. Chai! see thinking

frankson1:

If he does they'll term him a weak President who has bowed to pressure. These people are very funny set of people. The just hate Tinubu but there's nothing they can do about it.

OfficialP:

This is really an eyesore and an affront to intellectual discourse ,how dare you put the case of criminal Kanu viz a viz agitations, modus operandi etc with that of the great Ken Saro wiwa.

Will Obj writr a book on this. . On you mandate we stand, Tinubu you do this one.
