Aregbesola Applauds Buhari On Recognising June 12 by emmalezdigital: 12:08pm On Jun 07, 2018

Osun state Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has applauded President Muhammadu Buhari for recognising June 12 as democracy day in place of May 29.

In a statement made available to the media in Osogbo by his media adviser, Sola Fasure, Governor Aregbesola commended the president for mustering the courage to take this historic step 25 years after the freest and fairest presidential election ever held in the history of Nigeria

According to Governor Aregbesola, “President Buhari has secured for himself an incomparable position in history for surmounting the courage to take this historic step of recognising June 13 as ‘Democracy Day’ and honouring Chief Moshood Abiola posthumously.

“June 12, 1993 was the day democracy was born in Nigeria. It was the day Nigerians negated all the social and political constructs that had been thought would make national unity impossible and democratic governance impossible, but Nigerians in their heterogeneity overwhelmingly voted for a candidate whose very essence was in defiance of religious, ethnic and regional categorisation.

“It is most regrettable that the election was annulled and Chief Abiola clamped in illegal detention where he later died.

“Successive administrations had suppressed the significance of June 12 and resisted every admonition to recognise the date and honour Chief Abiola.

We have since the advent of our administration shunned May 29 and celebrated June 12 as Democracy Day. We are glad therefore that President Buhari has taken this bold step and set the record straight. History will be kind to him for this. I commend him for this uncommon courage and demonstration of leadership”, the statement said.

Are you implying that Nigeria did not deserve a democracy in 1993, but they deserved Abacha.

You mean that Nigeria deserved for all the democratic institutions that were already existing including the democratic governors like Michael Otedola in Lagos, John Oyegun in Edo, Felix Ibru in Delta, Segun Osoba in Ogun, Late Isiaka Adeleke in Osun, Clement Ebri in Cross River, Ada George in Rivers, Chukwuemeka Ezeife in Anambra, Ogbonnaya Onu in Abia, Okwesilieze Nwodo in Enugu, Kabiru Gaya in Kano, Yahaya Abdulkarim in Sokoto, Moses Adasu in Benue, etc, to all be sacked from office and have the military take over with Abacha in 1993?


Whatever Abiola was, he had the mandate. A mandate freely given but taken by the powerful few.


Now that it has been recognized, why is your soul troubled?

This political codein and tramadol that PMB has served the SW is really working. It has taken a lot of you into a state of serious high, but not to worry, just like codeine and tramadol, the crashing down phenomenon will indeed be a spectacle to behold when it starts. This whole declaration has shown that the Caliphate indeed has the mumu button of a sizable number of people i the SW.
