Nigerian as president, Omoyele Sowore wrote:
Compatriots:
Last weekend in Abeokuta, I spoke during a #TakeItBack Town Hall Meeting
declaring that henceforth June 12th will become Nigeria’s “Democracy Day”, a
few days later President Muhammadu Buhari has made it official via an
“Executive Order.”
While
I understand that this is an election season gimmick to fool ardent supporters
of Chief MKO Abiola and activists who seriously fought for the revalidation Of
June 12 1993 elections, I accept it as a decent decision. It has partially
corrected a historical wrong in Nigeria.
However,
this tokenism is not enough, therefore, upon assumption of office next year we
will officially declare Chief MKO Abiola winner of the June 12 election,
declare him posthumously a President of Nigeria, pay his Presidential salary
for 8 years to his family and ensure his family gets pensions, allowances and
gratuity due to all former presidents as well as a national reburial.
Finally,
all victims of the June 12 struggle will be adequately compensated.
