About this episode
On June 12, 1993, Nigerians voted in what is regarded as the freest and most credible election in the country’s history.
But the widely believed victory of late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola was annulled by the military government.
As a recognition of the significance of the events that happened on, and subsequently related to, that election, June 12 was declared Democracy Day in 2018.
More than 30 years since the annulment, what do the day and democracy itself mean to Nigerians?
This is what we reflect on in this episode of Nigeria Daily.
