Senate Asks INEC To Declare June 12, 1993 Election Results

Golden age squandered … the Nigerian 1993 presidential hopeful MKO Abiola, who died in military dete

The Nigerian Senate has asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to announce the results of the June 12, 1993 presidential election.

The request was made on Thursday during plenary.

President Muhammadu Buhari had on Wednesday declared June 12 to replace May 29 as Democracy Day, in honour of late MKO Abiola, the presumed winner of the election.

Buhari said that June 12 was more symbolic than May 29 and also conferred a posthumous GCFR title on Abiola.
