Which ever way you look at it, PMB did what his predecessors refused to do. This will good very well with the Yoruba nation and at this time, who wouldn't want to further appease these great people of the South West? They know how to play politics and so far, they are reaping it all good at all fronts. Our Igbo brothers, look inward and learn how to play politics, which is a give and take game.

Igbos should learn from the Yorubas. Politics is all about interest. You can let go of your hatred and disdain for a leader and even pretend that you like him to get what you seek in politics. That's the idea not continuous and never ending generationally passed on hatred and slanders against others you share the same country space with.

I rest my case. June 12, I will relax at home and celebrate with the Yorubas.

Must you drag the Igbos into everything!

How in the world does the declaration of June 12 as a national holiday mean victory for the Yoruba nation and disdain for the Igbos?

What s wrong with You? Why the hate?

What did Buhari say back then, when the election was annulled by Maradona?

Was Belgore even consulted on this development?

Buhary is tryin so hard to spite Obj, and seek yoruba vote notin mur because that man there doesnt understand the slightest concept of democracy and that is putting it mildly.

In as much as we thank Buhari for recognising June 12 as democracy day in Nigeria, that does not connote that we will vote for him come 2019. All we yearn and agitate for is restructuring and state policing. Anything short of this is a mere bait that would never catch us. Was it not the same Northerners who truncated June 12 elections? Only fools would be moved by this development which has been long overdue. We cannot afford another 4 years of disaster in this country. Good morning all.

That was the best election in the history of Nigeria. People voted without thinking about Ipod, herdsmen, arewa etc. No single life was lost, even rain couldnt stop them. The election that brought in obj on May 29 was filled with malpractices.

Do you knw that the governors of south west have always honored June 12 in remembrance of Abiola since Year 2001? Let the governors of south east too honor the biafran fallen heroes too by declaring public holiday for u guys on May 30th. Nobody is asking u not to honor ur heroes but u pple are divided internally.

Emotions will kill us in this country, I don't see the significance of this June 12 declaration,let's not forget there was a court order which lead to the annulment, but everyone is taken over by emotions

Femi Falana, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), says by declaring June 12 Democracy Day, President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration has put an end to the “hypocrisy” of ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo.

In a statement, Falana said declaring June 12 as Democracy Day “validated the integrity of the fair and free election that was criminally annulled by the Ibrahim Babangida junta”.

The human rights lawyer called on the government to adopt Abiola’s welfare programme to tackle poverty.

“The Muhammadu Buhari administration made history today by conferring the post humous national award of Grand Commander of the Federal Republic (GCFR) on Chief M. K. O. Abiola, the acclaimed of the June 12, 1993 presidential election for his huge contribution to the restoration of democratic rule in Nigeria,” the statement read.

“By declaring June 12 Democracy Day the federal government has officially validated the integrity of the fair and free election that was criminally annulled by the Ibrahim Babangida junta.

“By recognizing June 12 as Democracy Day the federal government has put an end to the hypocrisy of May 29 which was proclaimed by the Olusegun Obasanjo regime. By confering the post humous award of national award of Grand Commander of the Order of Niger (GCON) on Chief Gani Fawehinmi SAN the federal government has officially endorsed his enormous contributions to the titanic battle against military dictatorship and promotion of human rights in Nigeria.

“In addition to the historic gesture the federal government should proceed to adopt chief Abiola’s programme of welfare to poverty and respect the human rights of all Nigerians which Chief Gani Fawehinmi SAN championed and defended in his life time.

“In particular, the federal government should mark the first national democracy day on June 12, 2018 with the release of all citizens who are being detained illegally all over the country and immediate compliance with all valid and subsisting court orders.”

The lawyer called on the government to equally honour Kudirat Abiola who was assassinated while defending her husband’s mandate.

you see the stupid precedence the president has started? will he begin to do all these? the man doesnt think at all of the consequences of his actions before doing it...

when you make such decision, you follow it to the letter like Falana has rightly stated but lets see if he has such balls

Falana has again failed to consult his law books before jumping in emotionally.

Can a dead person be awarded the GCFR?

ofcourse, An over excited Falana could have missed a paragraph or two but i would rather see it as sarcasm cos even Buhari lacks the integrity to do all that grammar he wrote up there.

What also happen to the good people of the Niger delta region whose oil and gas resources the whole country is feeding fat on and mindlessly reaping from.

Today, Nigeria has forgotten Oloibiri, in Bayelsa state. The oil rich town where Nigeria oil well was first drilled.

Can't a day be set aside to remember the contribution of the Niger delta region by way of the oil resources that is financing our federal treasury from which states draw their Allocation.

I think the federal government should RESTRUCTURE the federation.

Immortalising Chief M.K. O. Abiola is a commendable gesture from the Buhari administration, but Restructuring the federation is the next June 12 that MUST be actualised.
