EKO HOT BLOG reports that President Muhammadu Buhari, on Sunday, said it is important to ensure a peaceful transition of power in 2023 in honour of the late M.K.O. Abiola.
The President gave the charge to Nigerians in his nationwide broadcast to commemorate this year’s Democracy Day.
Ahead of the forthcoming general elections, he appealed to the electorate to ensure that Abiola’s sacrifices and that of other heroes of democracy were not allowed to go in vain.
“It is important for all of us to remember that June 12, 2023 will be exactly 30 years from the 1993 presidential elections,” President Buhari stated.
“In honour and memory of one of our national heroes of democracy, Chief M.K.O Abiola, GCFR, we must all work together to ensure this transition is done in a peaceful manner. I am hopeful that we can achieve this.”
According to the President, the signs so far are positive, especially with the primaries recently conducted by all registered political parties to select their candidates for the 2023 general elections.
He stated that the primaries were peaceful and orderly, saying those who won were magnanimous in their victories.
