Risola Abiola, the daughter of the presumed winner of the June 12, 1993 Presidential election has commended President Muhammdu Buhari for posthumously awarding the highest honour in the land, Grand Commander of the Federal Republic (GCFR) to her father and declaring June 12 as the new democracy day.
Risola who has huge presence on the social media took to her twitter handle @Bint_Moshood, noting that 20 years after the death of her father, the government has now done the needful.
Her series of tweets read
“It’s going to be 20 years since daddy passed away in July. Two whole decades. This is coming really late but better late than never. I'm headed to a meeting so I'm doing all I can to not tear up. The calls, the messages.....thank you, everyone. #GCFR"
“For whatever reason you think it is, it took 20 years and others could have done this but they didn’t. Wish I could see brother Kola and give him a big hug."
