Former federal lawmaker and prominent human rights activist, Senator Shehu Sani, has lauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his pivotal role in the struggle for the restoration and validation of the June 12 mandate, describing his contribution as “unequal and unparalleled by anybody in the political realm.”

Speaking on the significance of the June 12, 1993 election and its enduring legacy, Senator Sani emphasized that Tinubu’s unwavering commitment to democratic ideals and his sacrifices during Nigeria’s most turbulent political period stand as a testament to his patriotism and courage.

President Tinubu was not just a participant in the June 12 struggle. He was one of its principal architects and defenders. His efforts both in exile and within the country laid the foundation for the democracy we enjoy today, Sani remarked.

As Nigeria continues to mark Democracy Day in honour of the late MKO Abiola and the historic June 12 election, voices like Shehu Sani’s reinforce the widely acknowledged truth that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains one of the most consequential figures in Nigeria’s democratic journey.
