Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, Olorogun O'tega Emerhor has commended President Muhammadu Buhari's sense of fairness, justice and courage in addressing the June 12, 1993, presidential election debacle.
According to the APC chieftain, the issue of honouring Chief MKO Abiola, his running mate, Alhaji Babagana Kingibe and other unsung heroes of democracy had been long overdue, adding that the recognition of June 12 as the true Democracy day is most apt.
In a statement signed by Emerhor and made available to journalists, he said; "President Buhari has by this singular act established himself as a fearless progressive, a true democrat and a man with a true sense of history and justice.
He added that, "President Buhari has brought to an end an era where previous presidents bury their head like the ostrich in the sands of arrogance and political denial of the significance of the events of June 12.
"Buhari didn't just honour the Abiolas, the Kingibes, the Ganis and those heroes that died in the streets of Nigeria, but he has indeed reestablished Nigeria as a nation that can be a beacon of hope and justice to all," Emerhor stated.
The APC chieftain stressed that coming in the heel of the Buhari's led government unassailable war on corruption, his giant strides in infrastructural development and his tenacity in pulling the economy out of recession, the President has distinguished himself as a President of the people.
"it is for these reasons that Deltans and Nigerians will certainly re-elect him for a second term in 2019", Olorogun Emerhor, the 2015 Delta APC governorship candidate added.
