He  alleged President Buhari of planning to ensure that the memory of annulment of June 12, 1993 Presidential election was forgotting  by Nigerians  because Buhari was part of late Military Junta government of General Sanni Abacha as Chairman Petroleum Trust Funds(PTF) that incarcerated the acclaimed  winner of June 12 Presidential election, Bashorun Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola unjustly for almost four years, instead of restoration of Abiola’s mandate as agreed  and unjust murdered of pro-democracy activists such as late wife of acclaimed winner of June 12 Presidential election, Alhaja Kudirat Abiola,Pa Alfred Rewane, Alhaja Suliyat Adedeji, a season Journalist, Baguda Khalto, General Sheu Musa Ya’radua,rtd  and host of others pro-democracy activists.

According to the  statement  signed  by Comrade Sulaiman  in commemoration of annulment of June 12,1993 Presidential election which was regarded as  freest and fairest election in the independent Nigeria political landscape by evil genius, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, rtd, and a copy was made available to newsmen on Saturday, explained that  the reason why Nigeria could not enjoy  one day peace since return of Nigeria to civil rule in May 1999, was as a result of involvement of enemies  of democracy like President Muhamamdu Buhari, Senator David Mark, and others in the democratic governance of the country.

Sulaiman who doubles as Chairman, Civil Societies Coalition for the Emancipation of Osun State (CSCEOS) cautioned the present administration of Buhari against militarization of the country which is a systemic way of returning the nation into the despotic dark days of military era with the ongoing  undemocratic tendencies and brigandage approach of the issue of national importance in a civilized democratic Nigeria by Buhari’s administration , faulting  the beginning  of recruitment of 2 years Teachers  Scheme  on June 12,noting that the  history of  the Country’s democracy would not be completed without fully recognized the June 12,1993 Presidential election where Chief MKO Abiola, his wife, Kudirat  and others paid supreme sacrificed for returning of the democratic experiment  back to Nigeria.

Sulaiman later called for the credible and proper investigation of former Head of State, General Abdulsalam Abubarkar on the strange and mysterious death of late MKO Abiola under his government watch when the then Abubarkar’s government could release Abiola unconditionally, calling for  the implementation of the Late Justice Chukwudiful Oputa panel because the blood of the heroes of democracy were crying for justice.
