Oladeji said the party wanted Tinubu to declare MKO as president-elect of the annulled June 12, 1993, presidential election to end a long lingering injustice against Nigerians.

He noted that the “June 12 Day” remained a blight and watershed on the checkered democratic history of Nigeria and Africa.

His words:

“This request will not be for only late MKO Abiola but for all Nigerians and the world at large, who will feel a huge relief.
“It will also restore their faith and hope in the country afresh.

“At this time, June 12 Day should start to be celebratory like Martin Luther King Jr. Day.”
