Former minister of aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode 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!”
