President Muhammadu Buhari has explained why his administration reviewed the Democracy Day from May 29 to June 12.

The president made it known that his government reviewed Democracy Day from May 29 to June 12 to honour the late MKO Abiola, and other heroes, who according to him, sacrificed their lives to birth a new Nigeria.

Buhari revealed this during his nationwide broadcast to mark 2022 Democracy Day on Sunday.

According to him: “From 1999, we consistently celebrated Democracy Day to mark the end of military rule and the return of power and control into the hands of those freely elected by the people. On this day, Nigerians recommit themselves to ensuring we protect and preserve the ideals of democracy.

“In 2018, we moved Democracy Day from 29th of May to the 12th of June. This change was to remind all Nigerians of one free election after which the presumed winner along with Nigerians were denied their rights and their choice.

“On June 12th 1993, Nigerians saw the best in our citizens as we all went out to vote peacefully. By June 24th 1993, we also saw the worst of our leadership as the elections were annulled.

“We must never forget the sacrifices of the heroes of Nigeria’s democracy during 1993.”
