Comrade AWA Bamiji
PEGASUS REPORTERS, LAGOS | JANUARY 16, 2025
A renowned Ibadan-based pro-democracy activist, Comrade Awa Bamiji is currently mired in serious health challenges following a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) he experienced on November 4, last year.
This medical condition has resulted in significant challenges, including partial hemiplegia affecting his right upper and lower limbs, as well as cognitive impairments that have severely impacted his ability to recognise individuals, memorise information and speak coherently.
Since the onset of his illness, according to a report, Bamiji who is the National Coordinator, of the Coalition of Pro-Democracy Groups for A Better Nigeria has been undergoing a rigorous treatment regimen designed to aid in his recovery.
The report said, his current medication is focused not only on restoring function to his limbs but also on improving his cognitive abilities and speech.
Bamiji’s physician, Dr. Julius Olalare, spoke about the challenges faced by the activist, emphasising the importance of psychological support in addition to medical treatment.

According to the medical report issued on December 10, 2024, by Dr Olalere, Comrade Awa Bamiji, though gradually recovering, still needs not only physiotherapist assistance but also psychological and financial support to procure his medications.
Bamiji has, however, been referred to the University of Ibadan for further treatment.
Recall that Awa Bamiji was a frontline advocate for the actualisation of the Bashorun MKO Abiola mandate during the June 12 , 1993 struggle against the General Sani Abacha military junta.
Recently, there have been calls from pro-democracy groups for his nomination and appointment by President Bola Tinubu-led administration to serve as compensation for his selfless struggle spanning over 30 years.
