A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Ebenezer Babatope, has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for declaring June 12 as a new Democracy Day and posthumously awarding Chief MKO Abiola, Grand Commander of the Federal Republic (GCFR). President Muhammadu Buhari addresses the delegation after his Investiture as grand Patron by Nigerian Red Cross Society during a courtesy visit held at the Council Chamber State House in Abuja. The President who announced this on Wednesday in a statement signed personally, said that June 12 would now replace May 29 as the Democracy Day. Abiola, who was the presumed winner of the June 12, 1993 Presidential election, died on July 7, 1998. Babatope, a former Minister of Transport and member PDP Board of Trustees, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on phone that the president’s motivation was right. “Even though one may question the timing, the motivation is right. “We should commend Buhari for the declaration of June 12 as Democracy Day and the conferment of GCFR on the late MKO Abiola,” he said. Also Mr Wasiu Eshinokun-Sanni, the Deputy Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, said that the truth had prevailed. Eshinokun-Sanni, who noted that he received the news with a mixed feeling, commended the Lagos State Government to have recognised Abiola and Chief Gani Fawehinmi, a late human rights lawyer. “The good part is that effort of Nigerians in forgetting religious and tribal sentiments as exhibited by the June 12 elections is not in vain. June 12 is Democracy Day is also symbolic.

“What Obasanjo (former President) failed to recognise all this while in spite being the greatest beneficiary of June 12, a Nigerian of northern extraction has brought it to the front burner,” he said. “Accordingly, after due consultations, the Federal Government has decided that henceforth, June 12 will be celebrated as the Democracy Day. ” Therefore, government has decided to award posthumously, the highest honour of the land, GCFR to late Chief MKO Abiola, the presumed winner of the June 12, 1993 cancelled election. “His running mate as Vice President Amb. Baba Gana Kingibe is also to be invested with a GCON. “Furthermore, the tireless fighter for human rights and the actualisation of June 12 elections and indeed for democracy in general, the Late Chief Gani Fawehinmi SAN, is to be awarded posthumously a GCON. “The commemoration and investiture will take place on Tuesday June 12, a date which in future years will replace May 29 as a National Public Holiday in celebration of the Nigerian Democry.” (NAN)

Am telling you... Infact am the happiest person tonight. This is an upper cut. What PDP could not do when they were in power PMB just did. If they had done it Baba would not have played the card today.

Weyre re o

Sai Baba don give PDP one blow seven die

Such desperacy should be discerning to every rightthinking person, that for BUHARI to acknowledge a hero that was against Military rule, and was even a benefactor to the same military rule shows that there is a serious ploy underground.

He just called Nigerians FOOLS..

Ask him why we lost 13m jobs for the living children - MKO GCFR
Ask him why the cost of living is near death -
MKO GCFR
Ask him why we pay for 60m litres but provided 30m - MKO GCFR
ask him why babachir lawal is free -
MKO GCFR
Ask him about the $48m -
MKO GCFR
Ask him about the killings in benue -
MKO GCFR
ask him about leah sharibu -
MKO GCFR
ask him about the dapchi scam kidnap
MKO GCFR
ask him about fulani herdsmen
MKO GCFR...

Be wise Nigeria...
Dont be swayed by the smell of the pudding without tasting the pudding..
