‘’June 12, is a significant day in Nigeria, whenever June 12 is mentioned, what comes to mind is one of our heroes of democracy, MKO Abiola.
MKO Abiola, during his lifetime was a philanthropist, one who helped anyone who came his way, one who was significant in his doings and one who wanted a better administration for Nigeria.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t given the opportunity to govern the country, yet, his impact was felt, and is still being felt .
Nigeria lost a gem when he died, but what he stands for still remains Intact, his memory still lingers around and his legacy is what so many governments build on till date.
Our national leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s impact in immortalizing him will never be forgotten. He literally took it upon himself to relentlessly fight for what MKO Abiola deserves and to God be the glory, it was joyfully approved.
Lots of people are benefactors of his passion, sacrifice, astute political wisdom, knowledge and great belief in this great country.
To the family of the late MKO Abiola too, Asiwaju has been doing a lot underground to ensure the family stays relevant, are being taken care of, even when it is difficult.

Also, President Muhammadu Buhari has done a lot to immortalize him. In 2018, he declared June 12 as democracy day and also declared the annulled election that would have made MKO Abiola President to be valid, making him a former President of Nigeria.
No doubt, it is not out of place to note that President Muhammadu Buhari, is another leader who cherish democracy, going by the things he has done for the country.
As democracy is the government of the people, he has made it so, as it is by the people, he has made it so, as it is for the people, he has done several things, made policies for the advantage of the people.
I wish Nigerians a great celebration of democracy.
#Because I Truly Care, Hon.Princess Folashade Olabanji-Oba’
