Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun has said that the “Building our Future Together” agenda of his administration is to identify with the dreams and vision of Chief M. K.O. Abiola’s Hope ’93 campaign message. DapoAbiodun Democracy Ogun Abiola
Abiodun, who stated this in his address to mark this year’s June 12 anniversary, also known as Democracy Day, in Abeokuta, described the late Abiola as a man who was concerned not only with the development of the country, but also the well-being of the people.
“I believe that the best way to immortalise the late MKO. Abiola is to ensure that the ideals that he lived and fought for continue to live after him. He noted that the late acclaimed winner of June 12 election was the first presidential candidate to tour the entire nation and had dreamt of using the nation’s wealth to cater for the people and move the country towards the path of prosperity, where poverty would be banished.
The governor, who described June 12 as the day when all Nigerians, irrespective of tongue and tribe, spoke in one voice by voting for progress and change, in a manner that had never been witnessed in the history of the nation, likened its significant to October 1, 1960 when Nigeria got her Independence.
