President Muhammadu Buhari has announced the cancellation of May 29 as the country’s annual Democracy Day and presented June 12 as the new date in which it will be celebrated.

In a tweet by President Buhari on his official handle, he released a statement saying that the annual celebration will now hold on June 12, saying that June 12, 1993, the date of the election popularly adjudged to be the freest and fairest in Nigeria’s history “was far more symbolic of democracy in the Nigerian context than May 29 or even October 1”.
