In this exclusive interview, he speaks on the significance of the June 12, 1993, presidential election and the recognition of the day as Democracy Day by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Twenty seven years after the annulment of the June 12 presidential election, how significant is this day given that it has now been declared the Democracy Day of Nigeria?

Fast forward, the day Abiola was to go to Ipetedo after the annulment of the election, because the whole house was cordoned off, I did a decoy to deceive the police.

This year's Democracy Day is very significant in the sense that it has immortalised Abiola, because everybody, every child yet unborn will ask why June 12 is Democracy Day.

Now that Abiola has been recognised and June 12 declared Democracy Day, what does this portend?
