Senate Passes Bill Recognising June 12 As Democracy Day by Ebullience(m): 1:14pm On May 16, 2019
The Senate on Thursday passed the Public Holiday Act Amendment Bill to recognise June 12 as the new Democracy Day.

The bill was passed almost one year after President Muhammadu Buhari announced that the date would replace May 29 for Nigerians to commemorate the return to the civilian government.

While some members of the National Assembly had criticised the President that Democracy Day cannot be changed by just a declaration, others commended his decision.

President Buhari’s declaration was later approved in the Senate by an act of parliament after the lawmakers considered the bill seeking to amend the Public Holiday Act on Thursday.

The bill, which is in concurrence with that of the House of Representatives, will now be forwarded to the President for assent.

You will still lose more people if you pick up arms against the feferal republic again. Jume 12 is now democrazy day, if you are not pleased, go to work that day, your company will appreciate your dedication to duty. If you want the day your people foolishly declared war on the federal republic, maybe you should sacrifice abiut 2 million more of your people to the Yoruba gods of Ogun, Sango and Obatala, then we will consider declaring Biafran day only to be observed in your potopoto mud republic of drugs and crime.

June 12, 2019 is the day Olusegun Obasanjo will hear the story of his family from his great grandparents to his great grandchildren. He will hear wen that day. Sebi Obasanjo was President for 8 years, despite Afenifere insistence, he still refused to recognise MKO Abiola and June 12. Now a Fulani man has done it and the Senate that have been sleeping since has passed it. Buhari has taken the glory and the bastard son of Igbo Obasanjo shall take the shame. I am waiting to hear what the old foolish men in Afenifere will say that day.
