Buhari june 12 now nigerias democracy day confers gcfr on abiola

I think there may be some inaccuracies in your statement.

June 12 is indeed a significant date in Nigerian history, but it is not Nigeria's Democracy Day. Nigeria's Democracy Day is celebrated on May 29th, which was the day the country transitioned from military rule to democracy in 1999.

June 12, on the other hand, is celebrated as Democracy Day in Nigeria because it was the day of the 1993 presidential election, which was won by Moshood Abiola, a businessman and politician. Abiola's victory was annulled by the military government of General Ibrahim Babangida, leading to widespread protests and unrest.

In 2018, President Muhammadu Buhari declared June 12 as Nigeria's new Democracy Day, in honor of Abiola's sacrifice and the struggle for democracy in the country. However, it's not accurate to say that Buhari conferred a GCFR (Grand Commander of the Federal Republic) on Abiola on June 12.

Abiola was posthumously awarded the GCFR by President Buhari in 2018, on June 12, as part of the country's efforts to recognize and honor his contributions to democracy in Nigeria.
