Abiola: Fayose Slams Obasanjo, Hails Buhari

former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for honouring MKO Abiola, presumed winner of the June 12, 1993, presidential election.<br><br>The Cable reports that last year, Buhari declared June 12 as Democracy Day and also conferred a post-humous award of Grand Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic (GCFR) on Abiola.<br><br>He also apologised on behalf of the Federal Government to his family for his death in the struggle to reclaim his mandate.<br><br>The military junta of Ibrahim Babaginda had annulled the 1993 election adjudged as the freest and fairest in the nations history.<br><br>On Wednesday, the President also named the Abuja National Stadium after Abiola.<br><br>Reacting to this, Fayose, a critic of the President, took to his Twitter account to knock Obasanjo and hail Buhari.<br><br>Honouring MKO Abiola by Buhari is to Obasanjos shame. It remains a sore-point of his political history that because of ego, Obasanjo, whos the greatest beneficiary of the June 12, 1993 struggle, failed to honour his kinsman, MKO Abiola. So, I commend President Buhari, he tweeted.<br><br><br><br><br><br><a href="https://punchng.com/abiola-fayose-slams-obasanjo-hails-buhari/">https://punchng.com/abiola-fayose-slams-obasanjo-hails-buhari/</a>
