A former vice-president, Atiku Abubakar, says Nigeria's restructuring would "give greater impetus" to the unity of the country.
Commenting ahead of the 24th anniversary of the annulled June 12, 1993, election won by the late Chief MKO Abiola, he said the year was a traumatising period which caused many Nigerians to question the unity of the country.In a statement issued by his media office yesterday, Atiku commended Nigerians for moving past the events of June 12, 1993, and creating a place for democracy.
He noted that the annulled election and its aftereffects cannot be forgotten because of the unity displayed by Nigerians.
Atiku described the late Abiola as "a national Hero and Patriot’ deserving of accolades and honour by Nigerians.
He called on the federal government to pay the necessary tribute to the late chief Abiola of blessed memory by naming a befitting national institution after him."
