First democratically elected Governor of old Kaduna State Balarabe Musa and famous Labour leader, Comrade Issa Aremu, have called on President Muhammadu Buhari to go beyond recognising June 12 as democracy day and investigate the annullment of the election.
Musa, while commending President Buhari for surprising the nation by honouring MKO Abiola, said the President should complete the task he started by investigating the circumstances leading to the annullment of June 12, those responsible for the annullment and punish them effectively to prevent future occurence.
“We must also do something fundamental, that is changing the, socio-economic and political and cultural system controlling all development kin this country.“And the way we can effectively do it is by making sure that, Nigeria embarks on socialist reconstruction of Nigeria, starting with the leading role of the economy, to ensure equality, justice, dignity of human and progressive development.”
He said Abiola earned a deserved posthumous honour President Buhari conferred on him last year and the National Stadium Abuja remanned after the presumed winner of the June 12, 1993 Presidential election, considering he was the pillar of sport of Africa.
