Buhari's acknowledgment of MKO, a major disgrace on Obasanjo – Lekan Abiola

Mr. Lekan Abiola is one of the children of the late Moshood Abiola, the acclaimed victor of the June 12, 1993 presidential decision which was invalidated by the military administration of General Ibrahim Babangida. He disclosed to Eric Dumo what the acknowledgment of that date as Nigeria's Democracy Day by President Muhammadu Buhari intends to the family A few people have said that the acknowledgment of June 12 as Nigeria's Democracy Day by President Muhammadu Buhari out of appreciation for your late father, MKO Abiola, was simply to score some political point in front of the 2019 races, do you share this view? I feel that what President Muhammadu Buhari has done is a move long past due. The majority rule government we have in Nigeria today was watered by the blood of many individuals, including my dad, MKO Abiola, and mother, Kudirat. For President Buhari to at last perceive June 12 as Democracy Day is magnificent and we are glad about it.
