The Oyo State Government has declared Tuesday, June 12, 2012 as public holiday. In a statement signed by Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Akin Olajide, the government said it declared the day, earmarked as Democracy Day, to remember the anniversary of the June 12, 1993 elections, believed to be the freest and fairest election in the electoral history of Nigeria. The election was generally believed to have been won by late Chief MKO Abiola. The government said the anniversary was also in recognition and honour of the martyrdom of Chief Abiola, who laid down his life for Nigerians to enjoy the democratic dividends of today. Before next weekend, Ekiti, Osun and Lagos will follow. |

This is what brother GEJ should have done in the first instance. It's never too late. June 12 should be democracy day and not May 29. May 29 is a sorrowful day; a day when PDP and its gang get to laugh at us after stealing our votes. 1 Like |

Hypocrites have started again. They don't want Unilag named after MKO but they are using Abiola's name to deceive the gullible. Chei!!! With these people, judas must be a saint |
