Why Happy Democracy Day?
We need to celebrate the reclamation of democracy in our country, don’t we? After decades of military rule in the country, Olusegun Obasanjo reclaimed office as President of Nigeria ending the rules of the military forces.
As a result of this, May 29 being the day there was an exchange of military to civilian rule, was set aside as Democracy Day.
The democracy was therefore initiated as a public holiday to commemorate all that happened as stated above.
The end of the military era of ruling in Nigeria, therefore, brought about normal elections and the return of civilian rights and freedom.
It was based on this reclamation of democracy that our president General Muhammad Buhari was sworn into office on the 29th of May 2015, clocking two years on the seat!
This post is not generally to give a holistic overview of the present administration but to sendmessages and wishes of a happy democracy day!
Democracy day has now been moved from May 29 to June 12, in commemoration of the death of Bashorun M.K.O Abiola.
