Femi Fani-Kayode, former Aviation
Minister, on Friday commended the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal
Government for establishing June 12 as Nigeria’s Democracy Day.
Fani-Kayode, while commending
Buhari’s government for the feat, berated the previous administration of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for failing to recognize June 12.
The Minister of Information and
Culture, Lai Mohammed had recently disclosed that the inauguration ceremonies
of President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term was moved from May 29 to June
12.
Similarly, the Senate had on
Thursday concurred with the Public Holiday Act (Amendment) Bill passed by the
House of Representatives, which approved June 12 as the new Democracy Day.
This followed a presentation of
conference report by Leader of the Senate, Sen. Ahmad Lawan, at plenary of the
Senate.
Fani-Kayode in a tweet wrote: “I
remain an ardent critic of the @MBuhari admin but there is one thing that I
shall always commend them for: the establishment of June 12th as the real
Democracy Day.
“Sadly not one @OfficialPDPNig
govt, including the one I served from 2003 till 2007, had the courage to do
that.”
