Why June 12 Is Superior To May 29 As Democracy Day by GoodGovernance: 8:30pm On Jun 06, 2018
June 12 is more symbolic than May 29.

There is another day like May 29 which is October 21 and they are both handing over dates.

On October 21,1979,the military handed over to a civilian,Shagari.
On May 29,1999,the military handed over to a civilian,Obasanjo.

So what is the big deal about May 29?

But there is no other day like June 12.The day Nigerians shun all religious and ethnic sentiments to vote for a Muslim-Muslim ticket for the presidency!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

June 12 symbolizes Nigeria's unity of purpose for the common goal!

The annulment of such an election coupled with the arrest,imprisonment and subsequent death of the acclaimed winner,are not events that can be forgotten!

There is no May 29,without the annulment of June 12.

June 12 gave birth to May 29!

How many countries declare handover dates as public holidays??

With this move by buhari,I will be voting him if he can complete the Lagos-ibadan expressway,finish the Lagos-ibadan railway and make sure prepaid meter is very easy for every Nigerians to buy and use.

Though I will be judging him in other areas too,but if the PDP present atiku,then I will surely vote buhari

It is certainly well deserved that this level of recognition was accorded to June 12.

We will celebrate Inauguration Day on May 29th, but celebrate Democracy and the struggle for it on June 12th.

THIS IS NIGERIA, ANOTHER GOV CAN ENTER THERE AND RETURN DEMOCRACY DAY BACK TO 29TH MAY.

I KNOW SENTIMENT WILL NOT HELP U TO COMPREHEND THAT SIMPLE FACT.

FURTHER, DEMOCRACY DAY IS NOT ABIOLA DAY.

IS ABIOLA THE FIRST MAN DISPLACED BY MILITARY IN NIGERIA OR DEMOCRACY DISPLACED BY MILITARY?

ASK BUHARI TO CALL IT ABIOLA DAY.

OTHERWISE, HAUSA GO THEY LAUGH YORUBA ON JUNE 12, WEN ABACHA BECAME PRESIDENT AND POWER WENT NORTH.




Again, Buhari lauds Sani Abacha

Justice at last!

OBJ was very selfish just because May 29 was the hand over date he became president.

June 12 is very symbolic for Nigeria's unity and security.

Wow a Muslim -muslim ticket defeating a Muslim -Christian ticket!

Declaring June 12 as a national day will always remind present and future generations yet to be born,that Nigeria can be united irrespective of religion and ethnicity!

June 12 is outrigtly useless and illegal and I don't see any use to it


I hv said and repeat it again GEJ that lost and even put a call is more democratic to his opponent saying that blood will.

MKO is not the first to lose or hv his election annulled
other civilization have been doing that


hand over makes more meaning than a man that lose out

You want the blood and spirit of all those that died in the June 12 struggle to descend on you?

Only a fool thinks that June 12 is just about Abiola or SW.

Why can't he recognized abiola since 2015 that he assumed power. This is highly political. It can't work for buhari in this time around.

Mischief makers mix apples with oranges just to wake up sentiments.

The topic here is about June 12.There are so many other threads for the equally important issues you have raised.

Fact is: Governor Fayose honoured MKO Abiola before Buhari, who was among the killers of MKO and his wife, Kudirat remembered to honour him obviously for political reasons.

Nigerians must still remember that Buhari was a prominent member of the Abacha govt that arrested, incarcerated and killed MKO Abiola.

Then, what effort did Buhari make to free MKO?

Shedding crocodile tears on the grave of the same MKO Abiola that they conspired to kill won't redeem Buhari's image as an unrepentant dictator and ethnic champion.

May the soul of MKO and Kudirat Rest In Peace.

According to Yorubas,

The ' June 12' declaration by buhari has provided jobs for the teeming jobless,idle and under-employed youths in the region,

2)Provided stable power supply,made the economy of the region same as that in First World countries,

3)Turned their dust roads to super highways,

4)Improved security of lives and properties via the caging of Fulani Herdsmen e.t.c.

Therefore they(Yorubas) have resolved to donate at least 50million votes for buhari next year.....Talk about ' sophisticated' politics at its best,impressive! lipsrsealed
