President Tinubu Confers Posthumous Honours On Abiola, Humphrey Nwosu, Yar’ Adua, Others
President Bola Tinubu on Thursday conferred national honours on MKO Abiola, a former chairman of the defunct National Electoral Commission (NEC), and Humphrey Nwosu, among others.
Tinubu conferred the national honours on them during his June 12 address to a joint session of the National Assembly in Abuja.
“As we mark a twenty-sixth year of unbroken democracy, it is right to honour those who have made sacrifices in the past, braving all the odds and the guns to ensure we have a regime of democracy in our country,” Tinubu said.
“In this light, I announce the conferment of the posthumous national honour of CFR on Kudirat Abiola, the heroine of the June 12 struggle.”
