The governor said the beneficiaries were selected following recommendations by the Kaduna State advisory council on the prerogative of mercy after a review of eligible cases.
The Kebbi chapter of the African Democratic Congress has described the June 12, 1993, presidential election as a symbol of Nigerians’ struggle for justice, free and fair elections.
In 2025; 32 years after, IBB publicly admitted that the late Mr Abiola won the June 12, 1993 presidential poll.
‘Farewell to Poverty’ was MKO Abiola’s 1993 campaign slogan. Three decades later, 133 million Nigerians are multidimensionally poor.
Though it was not Nigeria’s first election, the June 12, 1993, election date has become a major public holiday of historical significance, Nigeria’s Democracy Day.
“Today, 25 years later, we celebrate the silver anniversary of our journey in democracy. We have steadied the course,” said Mr Tinubu.
Mr Tunji-Ojo wished Nigerians a happy democracy day celebration.
“If not for Nigerian bad belle, MKO Abiola would have been president, and with me as president.”
”We have since been blessed with a new opportunity to build on the hope and the potential of June 12, 1993…and posterity will not forgive us if we squander it.”
Ms Abiola said “it was staggeringly inappropriate” that her half-sister would “throw their father under the bus” for Mr Bello.
