CHairman, Conference of Alumni Associations of Nigerian Universities (CAANU), Chief Richard Oma Ahonaruogho, yesterday urged President Goodluck Jonathan to declare the late Chief Moshood Abiola winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election.
 
Ahonaruogho, in a statement, said Jonathan deserves commendation for having the courage to honour the late Abiola 19 years after the election.
 
He said: “Now, what is needed is the official declaration by government of the result of that election and the official pronouncement of Chief MKO Abiola as the winner of that election (and not the presumed winner) and the declaration of Chief MKO Abiola as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, posthumously with the highest National honour, GCFR, while the Vice-President elect, Alhaji Baba Gana Kingibe, be given the National honour, GCON.
 
“All the benefits due to the previous holders of the Offices of President and Vice-Presidents of the Federal Republic of Nigeria be bestowed on Chief Abiola and Alhaji kingibe. This must be followed by an Executive Bill by Mr. President to the National Assembly declaring June 12 a public holiday in Nigeria, as MKO Abiola Democracy Day.
 
“It will do well for Alhaji Bashir Tofa, the opponent of Chief MKO Abiola in the 1993 elections to also accept the results of the election.
 
“The naming of any edifice in Chief MKO Abiola’s honour pales into insignificance to the above. It is not too late to getting it right.”
