Ondo State government has cancelled this year’s June 12 Democracy Day celebration, following the terror attack on worshipers at St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo, last week Sunday, which claimed over 50 lives.

A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Richard Olatunde said that “the cancellation is to enable the entire people of Ondo State mourn their loved ones who lost their lives in the horrific attack.”


Governor Rotimi Akeredolu had earlier directed that all flags in the state be flown at half-mast for seven days in honour of the victims of the terror attack.

First to comment.... I dedicated dis comment to my first son Abner and my stepsister who is getting married today.....

I totally understand the government's motive and I align with it. Why celebrate a day that ought to mark freedom from bad governance when we are still deeply rooted in bad governance. Infact the worst seems to be around the corner....

I would've dedicated my first to hit the spot but my comrade above was faster than air. It's a welcome development to honour the deceased. God bless Nigeria

Good

Ok noted!

If you think Igbos are supporting Peter Obi
because he is Igbo, you are totally wrong. Swap PO with Rochas and see
the out come.

Hmmmmm.

When it happens in East, they will say it's Igbos killing themselves. Now it happened in South West, they believed it's Fulanis. My beloved, this people are already in Southern States, they have a very evil plan...

They fact is that they understand Yoruba, Igbo and other southern tribe. They can manipulate.... Stop rejoicing that Boarder is opened, it was opened for them to smuggle arms across Nigeria. Election is fast approaching, and more arm will be smuggled in.... Don't be surprised if North experience a peaceful election then south may not.



Reject this people for the sake of yourself and love ones.


Southerns, wake up.
Middle belt, awake.... Am tired of seeing Pray for Benue, Pray for Jos, Pray for Southern Kaduna, Pray for Nasarawa.... Southeast awake, South South wake up, South West wake up ...

There is nothing to celebrate in the democracy

Norms, we dey with you.

There is nothing worth celebrating when Buhari cannot protect the lives of the common man

Good one

Good, pay respect to the dead

May they continue to RIP

Gbam!

This is the kind of spirit a good Nigerian leader should possess. After all, what are we celebrating?

Are we celebrating hunger, terror, hardship, insecurity, killings, corruption and bad governance?

Eish

I was thinking that the Governor don’t Senses

Good one
