SAN FRANCISCO, May 07, (THEWILL) – The Senate has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to announce the result of the June 12 1993 Presidential Election.
This comes as it hailed President Muhammadu Buhari for honouring the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1999, presidential election, the late Chief MKO Abiola and his running mate, Babagana Kingibe.
The Upper Chamber has also asked the Buhari administration to ensure that all the entitlements due to the Late MKO Abiola and Babagana Kingibe as President and Vice President be paid to them.
They also urged the President declare Abiola and Kingibe president and vice-president respectively, urging Buhari to take a step further by making June 12 a national holiday.
President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, particularly stated that the recognition was long overdue.
