JUST IN: President Buhari Has Announced The June 12 1993 Presidential Election Results, Shuts Up The Bukola Saraki-led Senate Once And For All

 The Director General, Voice of Nigeria, VON, Osita Okechukwu, on Sunday, said that President Muhammadu Buhari, by his profound proclamation, has announced the results of the annulled June 12, 1993 election, and by extension ported Generals Ibrahim Babaginda and Olusegun Obasanjo, into the Anti-Democratic Hall.

Buhari also conferred the highest order of Grand Commander of the Federal Republic, GCFR, on MKO Abiola, the winner of the annulled election.

The DG of VON, stated this
while answering questions from Newsmen, at the Annual Igwa Nshi Festival, in his hometown, Eke, Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State.

Buhari had also made a proclamation, that June 12 is the new “Democracy Day” of Nigeria, and not May 29 anymore.

The Senate in its resolutions, commended the President for taking these bold steps, but asked the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to declare the results of the June 12, 1993 election.

However, Okechukwu picked holes in the call by Senate for the declaration of the result, insisting that it was needless, saying that he profound proclamation is the result declaration Nigerians waited for 25 years.

He emphasised that Buhari announced the results when he officially declared the June 12 election as the freest and fairest in the annals of Nigeria’s history.

“Mr. President spiced it with the GCFR, the highest Honour in the country he conferred on MKO Abiola, and Grand Commander of Order of Niger (GCON), the second highest National Honour on his running mate, Ambassador Babagana Kingibe”, he said.

Okechukwu restated: “For me, life is about a coin. A coin has two sides. I read a letter from Kola, Abiola’s son, on behalf of MKO’s family, thanking Mr. President.

I read statements from the PDP and the APC, congratulating Mr. President. This is democracy. We in the majority welcomed it. Minority are in the Anti-Democratic Hall.

“Some people are saying Kudirat should be honoured. Some are saying Humphrey Nwosu should be honoured.

 I am one of those applauding Mr. President, and appealing that Kudirat the martyr of the struggle and Nwosu, the conductor of the election be conferred with GCON.”
