MKO ABIOLA
Our
attention has been drawn to the declaration by the Federal Government declaring
June 12 as democracy day and conferring the highest honour on MKO posthumously
.
June
12 remains unforgettable as the day Nigerians freely elected a President in the
freest and fairest election with the winner,Bashorun MKO Abiola standing firm
on the mandate he was given until he was liquidated.
We
have campaigned around these issues over the years and that is why we accept
these honours no matter how belated.
As
we look forward to the official celebration of June 12 as democracy day which
we have observed every year since the annulment ,It is our wish that the
essential spirit of June 12 takes firm root in our land with free and fair
election as a norm from the Ekiti elections on July 14 and the general
elections in 2019.
That
is the moment the spirit of Abiola and all matyrs of June 12 will forgive
