DEMOCRACY DAY IS NOW JUNE 12 NOT MAY 29TH HENCEFORTH-PRESIDENT BUHARI.{PHOTO}.#PRESS RELEASE.

       Dear Nigerians, I am delighted to announce that, after due consultations, the Federal Government 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, the presumed winner of the cancelled June 12, 1993 elections.
     The statement reads
For the past 18 years,Nigerians have been celebrating May 29th,as Democracy Day.That was the date when fo the second time in our history,an elected civilian administration took over from a military government.The first time this happened was on October 21st,1979.
  But in the view of Nigerians,as shared by this Adminstration,June 12th,1993 was far more symbolic of Democracy in the /nigerian context than May 29th or even the October 1st.
June 12th,1993 was the day when Nigerians in millions expressed their democratic will in what was undisputedly the freest,fairest and most peaceful elections since our Independnce.The fact that the outcome of that election was not upheld by the then military Government does not distract from tthe democratic credentials of the process.
Accordingly,after due consultations,the Federal Government has decided that henceforth,June 12th will be celebrated as 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 12th 1993 cancelled elections.His running mate as Vice President,Ambassador Bba Gana Kingibe,is also to be invested with a GCON.Furthermore,the tireless fighter for human rights and the actualization of the June 12th 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 12th,2018,a date which in future years will replace May 29th as a National Public Holiday in celebration of Nigeria Democracy Day.
Signed
Muhammadu Buhari
Wednesday June 6th,2018.
