President Bola Tinubu has been called to dispense justice on June 12 by proclaiming late Chief MKO Abiola the winner of the annulled June 12, 1993, presidential election in order to put a stop to a long-standing injustice against Nigerians.
According to news reports, the Lagos State chapter of the Accord Party (AP) has stated that until that is done, the “June 12 Day” will remain a blot and watershed in Nigeria’s and Africa’s checkered democratic history.
The Lagos AP wants Tinubu to declare MKO president-elect in a statement published by the party’s State Chairman, Dele Oladeji, to honor June 12 Democracy Day.

He stated that fulfilling the party’s request would bolster renewed hope in Nigeria’s and Africa’s democratic systems, adding that it would also bring a lot of maturity and faith to Nigeria’s democratic system.
The chairman of the Lagos AP stated that it is appropriate to bring Justice to June 12 because some of the active actors are still alive.
Oladeji submitted that “We request a release of the official result of June 12, a declaration of late MKO as the president-elect and presentation of insignia of office and necessary compensation to his family.
”The requests will not be for only late MKO Abiola but for all Nigerians and the world at large, who will feel a huge relief.
“It will also restore their faith and hope in the country afresh.

“At this time, June 12 Day should start to be celebratory like Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
“Also, it should stop being a day we keep mourning the injustice, loss of lives and property and the democratic rape of the June 12 debacle.

“Ex-president Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, who annulled the election, is still alive, as are Prof. Maurice Iwu, the third Independent National Electoral Commission chairman who conducted the election; Prof. Wole Soyinka and Mr Dele Momodu.
“Others are Dr Kayode Fayemi and President Bola Tinubu, who were major actors and prominent agitators in the June 12 debacle.
