“Our party invites Nigerians to note that Mr. President’s speech had no space for Chief MKO Abiola.” DemocraticParty Buhari Abiola Nigeria Democracy June12
The party stressed that the President’s silence on the values of democracy, “as well as the myriads of violations under his watch has further vindicated our stance and that of majority of Nigerians that the administration has no regard for democracy and is not prepared to uphold its tenets in our country.”
Reacting to Buhari’s speech yesterday, the National Publicity Secretary of ADP, Prince Adelaja Adeoye said it was incumbent on the government to end insurgency, sign the amended Electoral Act and address the issue of unemployment and poverty in the country. In a message, the Special Assistant to the Lagos State governor on Drainage and Water Resources, Mr. Joe Igbokwe appealed to the Federal Government to compensate Chief MKO Abiola’s family as well as reconcile them.
“Our party invites Nigerians to note that Mr. President’s speech had no space for Chief MKO Abiola. This only goes to show that the Buhari Presidency and the All Progressives Congress have no regard for Abiola and the essence of June 12, but only used their nomenclature to gain selfish political capital.”
