Atiku Abubakar, former vice
president, has reacted to the change of the Democracy Day date from May 29 to
June 12.
President Muhammadu Buhari had on
Wednesday announced the change of date in honour of the late MKO Abiola.
Reacting, Atiku hailed the
decision by Buhari to declare June 12 as the new Democracy Day in honour of the
presumed winner of the June 12 1993 presidential election, Abiola.
Atiku, on Twitter, wrote, “I
rejoice with the Abiola family over the recognition bestowed on its late
patriarch, Chief MKO Abiola; my friend & political ally & acclaimed
winner of June 12 1993 elections, better known as June 12.
“The symbolic honor done his memory & the
struggle he died for is commendable.”
