Nigeria’s June 12 Democracy Day is a public holiday to commemorate the restoration of democracy in the country.
May 29 was initially the democracy day in Nigeria, until it was changed in 2018 by the Federal Government.
This is special in Nigeria’s history and is used to commemorate the democratic election of Chief MKO Abiola on June 12, 1993, in what has been adjudged to be Nigeria’s freest and fairest elections.
It was, however, cancelled by the Ibrahim Babangida military junta, and Abiola was thrown into prison, leading ultimately to his untimely death in 1998.
