Yes!!!!
APC joins Nigerians from all walks of life in commending President Muhammadu Buhari for declaring June 12 as Democracy Day as well as granting posthumous award of Nigeria’s highest national honour (Grand Commander of the Federal Republic) to Moshood Abiola, winner of the annulled presidential election of June 12, 1993, the All Progressives Congress (APC) ..
The APC also calls on the President to consider granting similar honour on Alhaja Kudirat Abiola.
The APC believes that Alhaja Kudirat Abiola who paid the supreme price with her assassination in Lagos on June 4, 1996 at the heat of the mobilisation for the restoration of her husband’s mandate as the winner of the 1993 presidential election, deserves to be honoured in her own right as a heroin and martyr of democracy in Nigeria.
APC recall how she mobilised market women, students, activists and other human rights community against military rule and the struggle for a truly democratic nation.
The Party equally commend the decision to honour Abiola’s running mate, Babagana Kingibe, and late human rights activist, Gani Fawehinmi SAN with the second highest national honour, Grand Commander of the Niger (GCON).
In taking this courageous and patriotic decision, the President has again displayed a sincerity of purpose and his well-known penchant for doing the right thing irrespective of political and sundry considerations. As a Party, we remain resolved in our struggle to deepen our democracy and continue to improve on the transparency and credibility of our electoral systems. We reiterate that regardless of its imperfections, democracy remains the best form of government that can best serve the interest of our people.
We affirm that this decision by President Buhari yet again exemplifies APC’s commitment to the sanctity of popular elections and respect for the right of the people to freely choose their leaders in accordance to that fundamental principle of democracy that no man has the right to exercise power over other men, except with their consent.

ReplyDeleteAm speechless!
ReplyDeleteHow does honouring these people take away unemployment, hunger, insecurity etc in Nigeria? Buhari and his misplaced priorities!
ReplyDeleteThank You! I don't know why we hate ourselves in this country! Is it too much to have steady power supply, good roads, shelter,job security,security of life,and good standard of living? 😥😥😥
DeleteStella don't mind this APC people, since December, an average of 10 children and women are killed everyday. Buhari , igp, buratai , danbanzo are all Fulani, which is why there is no ending to this ethnic massacre. With only a statement from buhari, all these killings will stop, rather they are going about arresting Benue people. If he like honour Abiola, his entire family, goats , chicken and rats in his compound, 2019, he must return to daura. Useless people everywhere.
ReplyDeleteThen Bode George, Bola Ige and others would be honored.
