The Aare Ona kakafo of Yoruba land, Chief Gani Adams, has described the annulment of June 12, 1993 presidential election as one of the most defining moments in Nigeria’s history.
Adams, in a statement by his Media Adviser, Kehinde Aderemi, expressed joy that part of the dreams of the OPC, under his leadership, had been realised with the celebration of June 12 as the authentic Democracy Day.
He noted that without true federalism, Nigeria could not move forward, adding that federating states should be geared toward achieving the best for the people at the grassroots.
He said, “The struggle for the actualisation of the June 12 mandate given freely to the late MKO Abiola in a free and fair election then was a long and hard battle. Those of us that are alive today still remember those moments with a lot of regrets and surprises”.
