Ondo state Governor has honoured late MKO Abiola by renaming Democracy Park,Akure as MKO Abiola Democracy Park, Akure.Speaking during ONDOSTATEJUNE12LECTURES,in part he said


"June 12 gave birth to Democracy in Nigeria "

"I have the uncommon honour, as the Governor of Ondo State, to announce the renaming of our Democracy Park in Akure as MKO Abiola Democracy Park, Akure. This is the least we can do to immortalize a man whose sacrifice bequeathed the current democratic order to us"

"This event stands the risk of being tagged with an ostensible political coloration but deep understanding of the phenomenal essence of the June 12, 1993 presidential election as watershed in the history of the country, readily reveals, to those who reason deeply, the logic propelling seemingly endless celebration. We will not stop to flaunt these heroes and heroines of the struggle for the redefinition of the polity, especially now that some confused elements are heating up the polity to achieve parochial designs "

This is an insult to the great Abiola, the yorubas and all Nigerians should push for the renaming of a big national asset after Abiola. Not park.

After protesting against renaming of the leading school in South West to honour abiola...this should be in order

I am still wondering how IPOB and MASSOB were able to turn the 50th anniversary of Biafra into an international event that has dominated every discuss in Nigeria since May 30th 2017.
June 12 is here and apart from SW Govs mediocre events of naming parks and gardens after Abiola, it is not being mentioned anywhere nationally. The Ag. President didnt even acknowledge it in his speech or make a national broadcast in his honour like the Americans do every January 15th to remember Martin Luther King Jr as an Icon freedom and democracy.

Here we can see SW Govs trying hard to make noise about June 12 with public ceremonies but Igbos use of Total Silence and sit at home order became Golden and very loud.

I dont like Nnamdi Kanu or his IPOB but I have to doff my hat for the feat they achieved, to make themselves the most popular topic in Nigeria today without use of any form of violence or street protests or even public ceremonies like this one here

he died a coward

Them don start again... I wonder what they are gonna rename futa!

You try sir

but this democracy ur kinds are doing now,is not d type he stood for,fight & died for, wherever our pioneers leaders are resting,they will be shedding tears on their grave,beside d urhobo nation in general,when will Anthony enarhoro & festus okotie eboh be celebrated by our elites.

Good one

more and better one coming
