Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode on
Thursday declared Friday, June 12 as a Work Free
Day in commemoration of the annulment of the June
12, 1993 elections which was presumed to have been
won by late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Abiola.
In a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to
the governor, Habib Aruna, the governor said the
date marked a watershed in the annals of
transparent, free and fair elections in the country.
He said June 12, 1993 was the day Nigerians voted in
one voice across ethnic, racial and religious lines,
saying it represented the real democracy day when
Nigerians said no to voting along ethnic lines.
The governor said regrettably, 22 years after the
annulment, the Nigerian nation is still grappling with
some of the vices which the June 12, 1993 elections
sought to confine to the dustbin of history through
undue clinging to ethnic cleavages by some political
gladiators.
He urged residents to spend the day in sober
reflection and in remembrance of the martyrs of the
June 12 elections struggle in prayers for laying the
foundation of the democracy which the nation is
now enjoying.

For the record, am very much against the annulment of the election, but calling Abiola a matyr of Democracy is out of place

It Just shows that Ambode is a poor student of history... Do they even teach history in school dis days

Abiola was a crook quote me, the fact that he won the election does not make him any less.. Babagida was too

It is synonymous to the way Ya'all call Jonaprick a Hero... Y... Cos he conseeded defeat . Utter rubbish, does that reduce the fact that jonathan and his cabal raped this nation so bad that he set us 20 yrs behind


Enough of this Abiola nonsense

Nice

Only in Nigeria you will see unnecessary holidays. The election was annulled fine, but this person we are celebrating was a traitor. Imagine a whole Abiola betraying Awolowo, he sponsored the coup that ousted GMB to mention but few.. Politicians will be busy spending our country money lavishly whereby they are unable to pay the salaries of our people for months.. One thing I know for sure is that we are all gonna account for what we did while on earth in hereafter...
