Thank you @MBuhari for doing what is right and just. June 12 should have been our Democracy Day all along. God bless you. Thank you for this one.
Many of the people criticizing the naming of JUNE 12 as DEMOCRACY DAY, in replacement of MAY 29 were once clamoring for it.Buhari did it & the foster children of sorrow suddenly lost their sanity. You can’t hate your country, bcus you despise a leader.MKO Abiola deserves it!
I retweeted Buhari’s tweet cheerfully and proudly for the first time in a long time. He terminated the age-long conspiracy to twist our political history by those who imposed an artificial democracy day that only fits well in Obasanjo’s autobiography
There was always a quest to make June 12 Democracy Day. The likes of Ogbeni Aregbesola pushed for that. So, surely, it is a welcome development. More important IMO than the GCON. I didn’t read the Kingibe part. That’s his business.
Dear Nigerians, I am delighted to announce that, after due consultations, the Federal Govt has decided that henceforth, June 12 will be celebrated as Democracy Day.We have also decided to award posthumously the highest Honour in the land, GCFR, to the late Chief MKO Abiola. pic.twitter.com/VyYftmvWKA
Beyond celebration of democracy, this is a celebration of struggle and sacrifice for the collective good. Thank you, President @MBuhari
Declaring June 12 as Democracy Day has always been the right thing to do. Chief MKO Abiola sacrificed it all for the Democracy we are currently practicing in this country. He was voted for by all. This feat is for us all, not Yorubas alone.

Few others, however, expressed mixed reaction as they described President Buhari’s action as politically motivated even as the 2019 elections is just around the corner.

Some might say this is politics and Buhari is trying to pacify the Yorubas. I honestly don’t care. June 12 should have been our Democracy Day all along. This move is fantastic and must be commended. Well done Buhari
Declaring June 12 as New Democracy Day, I laughed because it really shows how desperate politicians are in Nigeria!!!Why did he not declare it immediately he came in?2019 on our minds#Ourmumudondo #heartofmeniswicked
Some added humour to their opinion with hilarious reactions. They also took a swipe at Former President Olusegun Obasanjo with funny memes.
