As Nigerians commemorate 20 years
of uninterrupted democratic governance, the Governor of Ondo State, Olawarotimi
Akeredolu has hailed President Muhammadu Buhari for declaring June 12 as the
official Democracy Day.
In a statement issued to
commemorate the day and tagged “June 12.. ‘ Nigeria’s Democracy Day ‘.. Truth
never dies,” Akeredolu stated that President Buhari has put to rest all the
injustices that trailed the June 12, 1993 struggles.
The statement he personally
signed reads, “The declaration of ‘June 12’ as our “National Democracy Day” by
President Muhammadu Buhari, GCRF could not have come at a better time.
“June 12, 1993 was the day, when
millions of Nigerians across the nation trooped out to express their democratic
will in what has been acknowledged as the freest, fairest and most peaceful
election ever.
“Despite the twists and turns
that followed what otherwise would have been a landmark event in the history of
our country, the fact that the President Buhari administration has now decided
to confer official recognition on June 12 as the day our country will now
celebrate ‘democracy ‘ is very instructive. Among others, it confirms that,
truth never dies.
“History will always remember
President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR as a man who walks his talk. He abhors
injustice against himself, just as he does against every other person.
“Happy Democracy Day,” the
statement read.
