Buhari, your desperation to retain power is so strong.
One thing is certain, you might succeed in deceiving some fanatical yoryuba Muslimns, but you can't deceive progressive/Yoruba Christians.
We Christian Yorubas will not vote for you in 2019.
We won't vote for someone who is busy killing our Christian brothers in north central because we all know that once you are done with northern Christians, you will face southern Christians, Yoruba Christians included during your second tenure.
God forbids.!

If Abiola is so special in Yoruba land as you want to paint it, why did my people reject renaming Unilag after him ?
Abiola has come and gone, we have our way of mourning and remembering him.

Terrorist Buhari, your antics is dead on arrival .
Progressive Yorubas are wiser...

In as much I don't disagree with your point, however I will prefer you used pronoun "I" Yoruba Christan not "We". If Yoruba Christian leaders lack the right to speak on behalf of Yoruba Christians. Let's learnt to speak for one's self not everyone. That's a big fallacy.

I'm an active reader of the nairaland and rarely comment but I'm tired of an individual speaking for the entire region or religion especially when such person lack the locus standing

people dan tell you say you no get sense we know ur people were defeated by the psychology of war but to direct ur hate on yorubas

Metuh:
Another tactics to garner vote from South West.
Over to the gullible people.

Nobody is complaining now that a day an election was annulled has been declared a public holiday but if IPOB chooses a day to celebrate their own fallen heroes, some set of people will start foaming in the mouth.

Rebels of the state,what is the difference between them and boko haram that want their own separate state from The Federal Republic of Nigeria. No be only fallen heroes,Criminals. Wasn't odumegwu ojukwu pardoned by President Shehu Shagari in 1982?you are here running your mouth,Useless terrorist ipob. Least we forget june 12th was annuled by the request of an Igbo Man Arthur Nzeribe to a High Court via his group Association for Better Nigeria (A.B.N.). Hypocrites.

Throwback:
If you are implying that the National Assembly is mandated by the constitution to ratify it, then let the government tender the request to them if it is ascertained that it is the law.

It will sure be interesting to see which of the legislators would object to it.

I just got clarification that the Public holiday act empowers the president to make the declaration without ratifying with national assembly.

WAO, ACCEPTED

OsamaB:
I just got clarification that the Public holiday act empowers the president to make the declaration.

OK!

Great that you clarified your doubt.

Throwback:
I doubt this news is true.

But if true, Buhari has really gone full scale sentimental and tokenist in a bid to secure his SW votes.

It would be remembered that this was a noble action Obasanjo refused to do.

Obasanjo would be shedding tears of shame now.

It is good that a day the SW governors had legally declared special since 1999, has now been accepted by the federal government as a national holiday for the national mandate to rule that Abiola received by democratic votes, and for the national struggle that was precipitated by that irresponsible annulment.

Shame to IBB.

Next we need it enshrined in The Constitution of The Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (As Amended) for posterity's sake.

But this yoruba tribe had great people o. Abiola dem, fela dem, gani fawehinmi dem, that fuji music icon. Very visionary and progressive people. I duff my hat in respect. Some motor park touts like obj, fayose etc belong in the dust bin and cannot match those icons

IJOBA2:
MAI GIDA WHO'S ASKING FOR YOUR OPINION HERE

June 12, public holiday, kill your self as a Biafran

Pataricatering:
what are they neutralizing ? Is democracy day now June 12th or not ? The reason and timing does not matter to us ! The important thing is it was done !

You don't know Jack about politics so I don't expect you to understand...

I haven't seen any Yoruba Muslim post equivalent of virulence here. Don't think that we Muslims don't know how much u Christians hate us. Some of u can go all way out to slaughter ur brethren just to rub it on ur Muslim neighbours.
I pray the war u are looking for will consume u and ur like mind

Femsyn:
I think this is a fantastic move, long awaited. Irrespective of the motive oppositions may think of it, I'm confident its a great decision.

Does it include public holiday?

Dakad:
In as much I don't disagree with your point, however I will prefer you used pronoun "I" Yoruba Christan not "We". If Yoruba Christian leaders lack the right to speak on behalf of Yoruba Christians. Let's learnt to speak for one's self not everyone. That's a big fallacy.

I'm an active reader of the nairaland and rarely comment but I'm tired of an individual speaking for the entire region or religion especially when such person lack the locus standing

do u believe this op is actually a yoruba christian,any personality can use the cover of nairaland to claim what they are not,pally do not be deceive

She is not Yoruba! A true born Yoruba would never type such!

If he had done in on May29, 2015, he would have been a hero of democracy.

This is just for election.

You are desparate, Sir!

very soon FGM will declare may 30th as public holiday just to pleas IPOB. and Biafrans . watch out....

Built2last:
We will always remember May 29 As Nigeria's democracy day and June 12th as the democracy day Buhari approved 6days to June 12th of 2018 to persuade the southwest to vote him back. The South West are too educated to fall for the trick.

Why wasn't this decision made in 2015 when Ogun and Lagos governors begged for it and later awarded holidays in their states

Waiting for Yinka Odumakin, FFK, Adebanjo, and Fayose to reply him.

Imagine Kingibe also awarded GCON. #ThisisNigeria

Better late than ever,People deceiving people party (PDP) had 16 years and did nothing.

Most sensible comment on nairaland this week

pauljumbo:
What will now be May 29
Confused government

Nsiala day...in readiness for Biafra sit at home on May30th

Pataricatering:
it’s obvious you don’t understand the symbolism of June 12 to the yorubas and the love the average Yoruba man has for MKO ! To you it’s just a holiday !

And giving that holiday will improve the standard of living of the average Yoruba man to warrant a second term for buhari?

I am not saying you shouldn't be glad.

But if that is the single factor that skews you in favour of Buhari, then there is something wrong.

We all know it is an election stunt. Even buhari knows that we know.

shes not yoruba brother shes evil be smart

Cmanforall:


What is actually going on?
Could this be a plot towards extending his stay in office?
Then he hands over on June 12th

Nonsense, the difference is only 2 weeks. Not worth the effort, look for other reasons.

Jaideyone:
this your whole Yoruba Christian versus Yoruba Muslim talk is stale and boring. don't you have something to do with your life even if your parents are still feeding you at 35?

The idiot is fooling no one save herself. Did she really believe someone is falling for her cheap trick.
She's really an idiota

This Buhari is a confused being. so this is how he wants to get yoruba vote abi?

Finally we have the presido that recognise MKO and the most free and fair 12th june 1993 election... infact this single action will assist PMB gain more votes of the masses come 2019.

Nawa oo.

Paperwhite:
Yet the easterners set aside a day to honour its own heros that sacrificed to correct a national imbalance skewed mostly to the advantage of the core north & the government termed them terrorists
An attempt to pacified the Yorubas as 2019 comes close right? Nigeria will not know peace.

Political move!
