Speaker of Kogi House of Assembly, Mr Matthew Kolawole, said the recognition given to June 12 and its designation as Democracy Day by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration is an indication that there is hope for Nigeria.
Kolawole stated this in his Democracy Day message issued by his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Mr Femi Olugbemi, and made available to newsmen on Saturday in Lokoja.
The speaker, who congratulated Nigerians on the celebrations, said the present administration had demonstrated that the struggle by the late Chief M. K. O. Abiola to evolve a nation that could truly work had not been in vain.
He declared that the recognition and designation of the day was aimed at reflecting on the election widely believed to be the most credible and transparent, but which was annulled by the then military regime.
