Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana has said that immortalising the late business mogul, Chief Moshood Abiola, is not enough, stressing that the last 21 years of civil rule in Nigeria have been full of sorrow and tears.
“Those who set May 29 as a Democracy Day did so out of spite. I’m talking about Olusegun Obasanjo adminitration, that for eight years refused to recognize the supreme sacrifice paid by Bashorun MKO Abiola in the restoration of democracy in Nigeria. It was very good on the part of this administration to have recognized that day.
Anozie made this declaration during the Democracy Day organized by the Oyo State Council of the Nigerian Union of Journalists at the Press Centre, Iyaganku, Ibadan.
