Femi Fani-Kayode, a former
minister of aviation has reacted to President Muhammadu Buhari’s declaration of
June 12 as Democracy day.
Buhari in a press release , also
announced that MKO Abiola, winner of the annulled election, will be
posthumously awarded the highest honour in the land, GCFR.
In various reactions, some
Nigerians wondered if the change meant the President would not hand over on May
29, 2019.
Others felt Buhari was trying to
appeal to the South West, ahead of next year’s elections.
However, Fani Kayode on his
Twitter page commended Buhari, describing the new date as great news.
He wrote “I commend @MBuhari for
announcing June 12th as our new Democracy Day.
“This is long overdue and I am pleasantly
surprised. I also commend him for honoring Chief MKO Abiola, the winner of the
June 12th 1993 presidential election, with the posthumous award of GCON. This
is great news!”
