IThe Oyo State Government on Saturday declared Tuesday, June 12, 2018 as public holiday in commemoration of the 25th-year-anniversary of June 12, 1993 Presidential election.

Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Mr. Toye Arulogun in a statement mailed to DAILY POST, said that the declaration was to commemorate the anniversary of June 12 1993 election generally and widely believed to have been won by Late Bashorun MKO Abiola.

Arulogun expressed satisfaction that 25 years after the election adjudged to be the freest and fairest in the history of Nigeria, the winner of the election, the late Chief M. K. O. Abiola, was recognized by the Federal Government.

He commended President Muhammadu Buhari for the posthumous award of the highest honour of the land, the Grand Commander of The Federal Republic, GCFR, on Chief MKO Abiola and the decision to make June 12 as Democracy Day in recognition and honour of the martyrdom of Chief Abiola and others who fought for the actualization of Democracy in Nigeria.

Arulogun described the politician and business mogul as a symbol of democracy, noting that his strong conviction that the ordinary Nigerian must be set free from the shackles of oppression, poverty, penury and want would forever be appreciated and commended.

He explained that the ideal of the good governance which the late Chief Abiola stood for had always motivated the All Progressives Congress (APC) governments at the Oyo State and the federal level, saying that the dividends of this good governance which is pro-people will forever be remembered in the annals of the country’s history.

He, however, assured that the state will continue to celebrate June 12.

Ain't surprised..

Ajimobi is a sophisticated mor.on.

This is what the pigs and idiots cannot fathom, how united a diverse people can be. How they can intelligently know when to criticize and when to appreciate, what they didnt realize is that we have been running a civilized society for centuries and we are light years ahead of them.
They want to compare with a people with no valid history and who only got discovered by mongo park naked in several clans fighting village restling to select hamlet leader

They call people lazy thinkers, how do you expect them to reason?

If it was a state across the Niger, there state government will even threaten them if they dare try to honor their people who fought and lost their life's during the Nigerian civil war
