“The National Stadium in Abuja shall henceforth be known as the Moshood Abiola National Stadium.” — President @MBuhari, June 12, 2019 #2019DemocracyDay #DemocracyDay

BREAKING: President Muhammadu Buhari just renamed the Abuja National Stadium to Moshood Abiola Stadium.

I believe that what we are celebrating today should be a challenge to the Government and the entire people of Nigeria to rededicate themselves to the struggle for genuine change. ~Femi Falana. #DemocracyDay

June 12 is at the soul of our democratic struggle; a threshold in our national life. #DemocracyDay

We shouldn't, after '26 years of June 12', be battling with those who are being detained without trial in our country. ~Femi Falana. #DemocracyDay

As we celebrate Democracy today, let us always remember that #June12 epitomizes the unbreakable will of the people in the face of tyranny.

I congratulate Ndi Imo and Nigerians once again on this day.

Obasanjo built the Abuja national stadium from scratch between 1999-2003, today Buhari names it after Abiola, it is pertinent to note that from 2015 -2019 that Buhari served as president he has not built even "monkey post" football field or any major national monument.

Kudos to President Buhari for immortalising Chief MKO Abiola. Very commendable, and the right thing to do.

On this day 26 years ago, Nigerians elected Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola President. #DemocracyDay #DemocracyAt20 pic.twitter.com/0Plg4AYZ1p

2/2 Those who cheered as he promised an end to tyranny & corruption are today cheering tyranny, looting & impoverishing our citizens.

Nigerians must unite against the stagnation of the majority by a few as was in ‘93.

Democracy Day! Today’s democracy day celebration is supposed to commemorate the late MKO Abiola but there was no single sign or poster of Abiola at eagle square, venue of the occasion. Is this a mere oversight or it was deliberate? It’s a shame. Together, let’s #RescueNigeria pic.twitter.com/dbK8cW6W4e

Those who want to celebrate Democracy Day on June 12, but revoked MKO Abiola's Oil Licence yesterday…

Make una KONTINU.

— Lere Olayinka – Aresa 1 (@OlayinkaLere) June 6, 2019

Buhari has revoked OPL 206, the Oil Licence belonging to MKO Abiola of Summit Oil, Pan Ocean Oil-OML 98 belonging to Festus Fadeyi, Allied Energy OML 120, 121 belonging to Kase Lawal, Cavendish Petroleum OML 110 owned by Gambo Gubio and Mai Deribe, and Express Petroleum OML 108

— Jackson Ude (@jacksonpbn) June 6, 2019

One of the questions that previous govt's have to answer is why they refused to honor Chief MKO Abiola and declare June 12th as the authentic Democracy Day?

No matter what we may feel about @MBuhari at least he found the courage to do that whilst others failed.

An APC senator-elect confided that all APC senators-elect, including him, were bribed with N25 million each to endorse Ahmed Lawan for the senate presidency! That's our national treasury being frittered away so casually and with such debauched recklessness by a government that

I've just learned from someone who witnessed Danjuma Goje's meeting with Buhari in Aso Rock that it was Buhari who PERSONALLY gave orders that Goje's N25b fraud case be withdrawn. It was d condition Goje gave Buhari for supporting Ahmed Lawan for senate Pres. I swear by the Holy

Even for apology Peruzzi still featured Davido.

— Ichie Bullion (@principe_viii) June 10, 2019

Nigerians are very skilled at saying ‘sorry’ but telling you why they believe you deserve what they did to you. If your apology attempts to justify the wrong, don’t issue it. Smh. https://t.co/C1r0Sj3pkH

— Chidi Okereke (@Chydee) June 10, 2019

Peruzzi came down a few minutes after & whilst we were catching up about his great performance d nite before, d Protocol guys called for my attention.
We all stepped outside to d car park & drifted apart.
Next minute, I heard d sound of a LOUD SLAP & ther wz commotion everywher*

— Denrele Edun (@DENRELE_EDUN) June 10, 2019

You gave him real slap not Twitter slap. So you have to apologize to his face and not on Twitter. One Love ✌️

— BabyGirl 😇 (@arewamiii) June 10, 2019

So, this glorified Instrument packer with Access to Davido think he’s attained Micheal Jackson status 😏.

Dear Obalende Travis Scott, apologies to @DrOlufunmilayo.

The only reason you are, and will be on on the limelight this 2019 is because you assaulted Pamilerin.

— All that's Peace. (@salamShuaib1) June 10, 2019

At least pamilerin only received slap. Peruzzi and Davido are the descendants of tmnt. beating people up is like a trait 😂 pic.twitter.com/lhMpjJ6cZy
