[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Its no longer news that President Muhammadu Buhari has officially changed Nigeria’s Democracy Day from May 29 to June 12, arguing that June 12, 1993 \u2014 the date of the election popularly adjudged to be the freest and fairest in Nigeria\u2019s history \u2014 \u201cwas far more symbolic of democracy in the Nigerian context than May 29 or even October 1\u201d.<\/p>\n

June 12, 1993 to this moment seem just like yesterday, but it is not just another calendar day in Nigeria; because in progressive ideological circles, the day is regarded as the authentic \u2018Democracy Day<\/a><\/strong>\u2019 as against the \u2018May 29\u2032 popularly celebrated by the federal government.<\/p>\n

Here are twelve important facts you need to know about this date.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0<\/strong>The date is celebrated in honour of an annulled presidential election in June 12, 1993.<\/p>\n

Chief\u00a0Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, often referred to as\u00a0M. K. O. Abiola<\/strong><\/a>, ran for the\u00a0presidency\u00a0in 1993, and is widely regarded as the presumed winner of the inconclusive election since no official final results were announced till date.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong>\u00a0The election was annulled by\u00a0Ibrahim Babangida, because of alleged evidence that they were corrupt and unfair, a development that ushered in a political crisis that led to General Sani Abacha seizing power later that year.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong>\u00a0In 1994, Abiola declared himself the lawful president of Nigeria in the Epetedo area of Lagos island, an area mainly dominated by Lagos Indigenes, after he returned from a trip to solicit the support of the international community for his mandate. After declaring himself president he was declared wanted and was accused of treason and arrested on the orders of military President General\u00a0Sani Abacha, who sent 200 police vehicles to bring him into custody.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

4.<\/strong>\u00a0Moshood Abiola was detained for four years, largely in solitary confinement with a Bible, Qur’an, and fourteen guards as companions.<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong>\u00a0Nigerian Pastor T.B. Joshua is said to have predicted the annulment to Abiola and warned him against contesting.<\/p>\n

6.<\/strong>\u00a0Abiola’s involvement in politics started at a young age. He was\u00a0 19-years-old when he joined the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC) in 1979.<\/p>\n

7.<\/strong>\u00a0For the June 12, 1993 presidential elections, Abiola’s running mate was Baba Gana Kingibe. He overwhelmingly defeated his rival, Bashir Tofa of the National Republican Convention.<\/p>\n

8.<\/strong>\u00a0Abiola died on July 7, 1998 on the day he was due to be released from incarceration under suspicious circumstances shortly after the death of General Abacha. The official autopsy stated that Abiola died of natural causes, but Abacha’s chief security officer, Al-Mustapha alleged he was beaten to death.<\/p>\n

9.<\/strong>\u00a0MKO Abiola used a\u00a0\u2018Hope\u2019<\/i>\u00a0campaign which President Barrack Obama also used.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Many people may have paid attention to the word\u00a0\u2018Hope\u2019<\/i>\u00a0being used to convey a message of possibility during Obama\u2019s 2008 election in America, but 15 years before then in Africa\u2019s most populous nation, MKO Abiola became a rallying figure for many Nigerians with his \u2018Hope\u2019 campaign.<\/p>\n

10.<\/strong>\u00a0MKO Abiola died for the June 12 mandate but he was not the only June 12 casualty as General Sani Abacha also died in mysterious circumstances on June 8, 1998.<\/p>\n

11.<\/strong>\u00a0Chief MKO Abiola’s memory is celebrated in Nigeria and internationally. June 12, remains a public holiday in\u00a0Lagos\u00a0and Ogun states and other All progressive Congress party states.\u00a0MKO Abiola Stadium\u00a0was named in his honour.<\/p>\n

12.<\/strong>\u00a0The election was declared Nigeria’s freest and fairest presidential election by national and international observers, with Abiola even winning in his Northern opponent’s home state.<\/p>\n

June 12 is thus a day to remember chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola as well as other democracy martyrs.<\/p>\n
