Pan Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, on Tuesday, said President Muhammadu Buhari is using June 12 to launder the image of controversial elections and not really showing enough commitment to the date.

Though the president was inaugurated for second term on May 29, the Federal Government said that the government’s Democracy Day activities would hold mostly on June 12.

It has also invited world leaders to attend the celebration of the president’s inauguration on June 12.

However, Afenifere said despite declaring June 12 as Democracy Day, it has not seen the demonstration of June 12 in the country’s national affairs especially in the electoral process.

While the June 12 election which was won by the late MKO Abiola was declared the freest and fairest election, the 2019 election won by President Buhari was marred with controversy and is being challenged by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

Speaking with Daily Independent on the celebration of President Buhari’s inauguration on June 12, Yinka Odumakin, Afenifere’s National Publicity Secretary, also condemned the decision by President Buhari host leaders of the Lake Basin Commission to an informal Security Summit on June 12 in Abuja.

“The whole scenario appears as just using June 12 to launder the image of controversial elections. We have not seen the demonstration of the spirit of June 12 in our national affairs particularly our electoral process.

“That a Lake Chad conference has been fixed for the same day shows clearly the half-hearted commitment to June 12. It’s no more than seeking political gains from the major democratic landmark”, he said.

Obasanjo became a president as an Abiola,s sacrifice and didn't give JUNE 12 recognition for 8 yrs in power, Yaradua came same, Jonathan came and also never recognised ABIOLA, S MANDATE, upon the fact that AFENIFERE benefitted immensely from JONATHAN, now BUHARI came,recognised JUNE 12,and afenifere is still not satisfied and saying Buhari is seeking political gains,as far as I know, AFENIFERE under Adebanjo and Odumakin is a total crap and unless, hungry seeking body looking for relevance,

Hungry Odumakin, go and work

Buhari no dey share money. A young man licking ass of criminals just to get a crumbs is not needed in the next level.

The old Babas who cannot win their ward in any election know they are finished politically.

Afenifere are yam eater old criminal looking for president like GEJ who pay them for doing nothing.

One mad man woke from weed smoking hide out and said rubbish and this yeye reporter credited the careless statement to the whole Afenifere. The fact that he is the publicity secretary of Afenifere does not mean that any thing he says should be attributed to the whole body of Afenifere. He spoke his mind or personal view. It's different from when the body issues a communique through him after meeting.

Yinka Odumanki is one fearless Yoruba man I respect so much....

The demonstration of the spirit of June 12 in our national affairs particularly our electoral process has not been felt or seen since Baba lifeless rigged himself into office.

Fearless you said? And you respect him simply because he became mad and started talking rubbish. You are free to respect a mad man dancing naked in the market. His case is certainly not a case of being fearless but that of a mental disorder requiring urgent attention.

Talking about feeling the impact of June 12, what else do you want aside going to the field that day like your fellow children to eat rice. Or do want buhari to open disco halls along the high ways so that you will be hearing the sound?

Of course you will like him Because yinka is serving the interest of igbos and opposing his people Because of money. But bad news for you when Afenifere speak nobody give damn about them except their family.

As if your mother didn't tell you Ogunmakin was responsible for your pregnancy and was on top of her for your sister's own before your father found out.

Afenifere is correct. It's a half hearted measure

am just tired with Nigeria......so much lies and lapses....who will save this country?

Because he's feeding you with the midday news you want to hear. Did PMB declare June 12 after he won election or June 12 was declared almost a year ago? Use your brain
