The federal government has sensationally proclaimed June 12 Nigeria’s Decracy Day. In a twitter message released via President Muhammadu Buhari’s handle @Mbuhari, the president also announced a porsthumous award of GCFR to the late MKO Abiola.
Dear Nigerians, I am delighted to announce that, after due consultations, the Federal Govt has decided that henceforth, June 12 will be celebrated as Democracy Day. We have also decided to award posthumously the highest Honour in the land, GCFR, to the late Chief MKO Abiola.
