my friend above clearly did the listing of states with different inauguration dates.

If Inauguration dates are not sacrosanct, when will the president tenor end.

Maldek666:
No award for Dele Giwa ?

An envelop will be sent to his family.

To me the most important thing is to make sure we vote that JIHADIST called MUHAMMADU BUHARI out

ORIENTATION101:
olodo does inauguration happens every year
inauguration day is a day of handover which happens every four years while June 12 happens every year

The guy na real pained olodo

Baawaa:
Senate of criminals

Gbam, they are bunch of rogues and should be stoned out of office, flogged and dumped in the sea to be eaten by sharks, useless politicians feeding fat while the masses are suffering

Let them come up with the list of those that died on June 12....so that buhari will make them saints....

Soon our politicians will make mistakes that will ruin their political positions,the masses are not happy with all of them,that day none of them will escape

Daniel058:
To me the most important thing is to make sure we vote out

You and other ipob 5%?

OK,we don't need confusion at this point in our country.Abeg .....

They should celebrate June 12 every year as democracy day while May 29 should only be observed every four years whenever a new president is being inaugurated

ORIENTATION101:
olodo does inauguration happens every year

U mumu pass the person u quoted



Inauguration day is once in four years, but it's still commemorated yearly to show achievements, and remind office holders that their days in office is gradually coming to an end.

His wife's been compensated & she's been living large, at some point rocking Chi...Mok...

I no mention name o.

Public Holiday stands

doctokwus:
That June 12 democracy day announcement was done without a single thought,even worse than GEJ's change of UNILAG to MKO university.
If June 12 is foolishly allowed to stay as a public holiday,it means there will be 2 public holidays within a span of 2weeks every year henceforth because May 29 as the presidential inauguration day must and will ever be a public holiday.
This is thoughtlessness on another level.
The wise thing to do was to have allowed June 12 to be commemorated without necessary declaration of it as democracy day or a holiday

Hello!

You do not need public holiday for inauguration day.How many countries have inauguration date as public holiday?

We need public holiday to mark the essence of June 12: A symbol of Nigeria's unity,the day Nigerians shun religious bigotry, to vote overwhelmy for a Muslim_Muslim ticket.

sorry you re confused here.

Okoroawusa:
Ekweremadu said that on the floor of Nigerian Senate?



I thought that guy went to school...

Your father cannot in his next life attend the schools Ekweremadu attended.

Throwback:
Was that ever in dispute?

Ekweremadu must have been ignorant to even entertain such confusion.

May 29th is Inauguration day only without the previously integrated democracy day.

June 12th is Democracy day.

So what happens on inauguration and democracy days? You don't see how clueless and unserious your government is. Those two days will definitely be declared as public holidays. Have you thought of its impact on the economy.

I'm Yoruba and was grown well enough in 1993, went through all the June 12 crises but I don't see any sense in declaring June 12 or May 29 as Nigeria's democracy days. Inauguration day is okay for me, and that can be on any date. It need not be on June 12 or May 29.

The important questions we are not asking the Dullard in Aso Rock are these.
1. Is he not 'killing' democracy in Nigeria with his outright disregard for the rule of law and separation of powers?
2. How does this declaration affect the living?

I'm coming to a painful conclusion that Nigeria is hopelessly lost under Buhari and her condition can only be further exacerbated if this Dullard is mistakingly or forcefully returned to Aso Rock,

Scattered children everywhere

What about the foolish President that did not consult well b4 making hasty pronouncement.

Nigeria didn't really shun any religious bigotry. Do you think Nigeria would have done the same if a christian-christian ticket was presented by SDP in 1993? You would be so naive to think so. Christians were only understanding enough just because Nigeria was tired of the military and we wanted anything but the military.

He deserves koboko laden with chilly pepper as well

omowolewa:
Laugh, thatz a fundamental issue too but 14 days extension isn't bad for an hard working PMB the year he will leave is very important sha

What has be PMB achievement in office so far.

Sentiments apart. the naming of MKO Abiola as 'HOS' by PMB is simply to curry favour from the south-western region of Nigeria against the upcoming elections next year. the truth remains that MKO was just a 'President Elect' who was never sworn in constitutionally as the 'HOS' no thanks to IBB that refused him his rightful mandate but in the 'Anals of our Constitution' MKO is not a recognized head of State and therefore is not entitled to hold the honours 'GCFR'. So June 12th can't be democracy day because was never officially handed over to the 'Peoples' elected president '

Having said that I think he should be immortalised for setting the precedence for a true democratic tenets in Nigeria. Just my two cents

Very illogical reasoning you have.
Are you aware that the other party fielded a a Muslim(Northerner)-Christian (South. Easterner) ticket.

What has being tired of military got to do With the fact that people could still have voted along religious or ethnic line.

Are you aware that from the few results released, MKO defeated Tofa in his state ,KANO?

Are you aware that MKO also was leading in the SE?

Nigerians simply voted for the best candidates irrespective of religion or region!!

higgledy-piggledy

NIGERIA IS FINISHED!!!!

Inauguration day is the day of inauguration, so it must occur when the tenure expires and another begins, so that is May 29th. In the USA, it is Jan 20th or so, and it is not even a public holiday to the best of my knowledge.

Democracy day exists because of our historical struggle to get it.

May 29 is just handover/swearing date for states that still maintains that calendar and for the presidential office, it will cease to be a national public holiday since it isn't sacrosanct. The only national holiday will be on democracy day June 12

This announcement was made to bring a certain tribe that usually and noisely claim to know too much very close for the second time, harmer their head, collect the only thing they brag with and then dump them. If the president is serious, let him declare Abiola the authentic winner of that election, then hand over to his eldest son on June 29th next year. Only this way can this make sense.

Commemorated?

Only few states even celebrate the day in Nigeria till today. Others can't except it is technically ENFORCED!
