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.

June 12, 1993. The day democracy was instituted firmly in Nigeria. Without the struggle for the actualisation of June 12, there wouldn't have been a May 29 and we may even still be under military rule till today. Obasanjo selfishly adopted May 29 as democracy because he wanted the history of Nigeria's democracy to be about him and not Abiola who paid the ultimate price for our democracy. PMB has finally done justice to this matter and he should be commended by everybody.

You guys should cut Obasanjo some slack.

Obasanjo had his shortcomings but he is easily the most detribalised president in recent memory.

Would it have made political sense for him commemorate Abiola given that Nigerians would have accused him of trying to play a Yoruba agenda.

Now that Buhari has been driven by desperation as per imminent humiliation next year to honour Abiola, we say kudos!

Nevertheless, we shall still vote out Buhari next yea
r. No straw catching measures will save him.

If Buhari likes, let him do what others have not done before, he will leave Aso Rock in 2019.

We are not voting him again.

Greyworld:
What democracy are we talking about? June 12 democracy handover never saw the light of day but May 29th ushered in the democracy we re "enjoying" so what is the biggy?

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.

jamace:
GBAM.
In addition, Buhari goofed again because the issue of Democracy Day is a constitutional one which MUST come from the legislatures. The President can only raise an executive bill to the national assembly, if he wishes to change an enactment in our constitution.
