Iba Gani Adams, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland on Tuesday said the decision by President Muhammadu Buhari to recognise June 12 as Nigeria’s democracy is a welcome development.
He said while President Buhari deserves commendation for this lofty decision, he should take a step further by restructuring the country before the 2019 general election. –
Adams who described the decision to recognise June 12 as democracy day as great Ramadan gift said the president will win the hearts of progressive-minded Nigerians if he can restructure the country before the election. –
I humbly welcome the decision. It is something we can call true reconciliation. As a Muslim, it is also a gift of Ramadan. Ramadan is a month of forgiveness, truth, fair play and loving othera the way you love yourself. –
So, I commend the president for this historic decision and at the same time i am imploring him to do more on the basis of restructuring the country before the election so that Nigeria can truly move forward. –
If he can do justice on the issue of restructuring, Nigeria will not only move forward but if he continue in this direction, he will have the support of most progressive-minded Nigerians in future politics,” he said.
