The Osun government has declared June 12 as public holiday to mark the annulled presidential election presumably won by the late business mogul, Moshood Abiola.
Abiola was acclaimed to have won the June 12, 1993 presidential election described as the freest and fairest election.
Sunday Akere, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy said this in a statement in Osogbo on Friday.
He said that the state had decided to recognised June 12 as its Democracy Day.
Mr Akere said that the state would continue to recognise June 12 as its Democracy Day and Abiola as the winner of that election.
He said that a lecture entitled: “Regionalisms and True Federalism as Panacea for Solving Nigeria’s Problem of Underdevelopment” would be delivered by Ayo Opadokun on that day.
The commissioner noted that the day represented so many things to the present administration in the state.
The Committee for Democracy and Rights of the People (CDRP) would also organise another lecture to be delivered by the Edo State Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General, Osagie Obayuwana.
