Poem
Yesterday, It was just yesterday in September, He was laid to rest in golden casket, Though he lived a golden life to deserve more. Yet as men do, The celebration of hypocrites comes after the death of kings. Rare Wig gawk the myriads in honor, a true luminary. Yesterday, It was just yesterday, He was Jailed for truth by criminals who deserves his fetters, hunted and tortured by oppressors and the monster in Minna, Resisting illegality where chickens bowed in shame, Berated like common criminal by state sponsored arm and brigands, Yesterday, It was just yesterday, He roared in courts against oppressors, despising the hazards of detention A burning passionate loathing of poli-tricks of established criminals, Exposing furtive murderer, masquerading as President in the Rock Gani, Renown, revered, amongst true patriots. Yesterday, It was just yesterday, He was stripped of a long deserved honor, Senior Advocate of the Nation (SAN). Yet Honored by Students, as Senior Advocate of the Masses (SAM). Yesterday It was Just Yesterday, The Tyrant of Minna, confined him to Military incarceration at Apapa, The dark dome where he lost his eyes, abandoned by the masses whom he suffered to protect, Tyrants shirked to disdain the true leader of the masses, Scholars rose over their stupidity and proclaimed him The First SAM, though murdered for Truth Yesterday, It was just yesterday, He pierced their conscience, with a party To revive the dignity of leadership by a single involvement Alas, Gani was rigged out by the oppressors who still hold on to power. evil men wearied Gani to his grave, Ganiyu Oyesola Fawehinmi, You won in our hearts, though denied by the criminals Yesterday, It was just yesterday, He was numbered with great world changers Like, Mandela, Luther, Will be remembered not only as mere Lawyer, SAM or SAN in sand But as a true fighter, an indefatigable orator, with an unswerving ardor, defender of the oppressed, the voiceless poor masses, It was Just Yesterday, sleep on Gani
