This Buhari ehn…. Just giving them Gbas Gbos, Gbos Gbas as he renamed the Abuja national stadium Moshood Abiola stadium.
Happy #DemocracyDay Nigerians.
But there are those who did not think Buhari’s move was not well-thought out. In fact, the president earned their derision, not accolades.

General Buhari renaming the National Stadium to Moshood Abiola Stadium is apt- that stadium is a shadow of itself, dirty, overgrown with weed & ignored in much the same way Buhari has ignored/damaged the distinct features of a democracy- rule of law, free election & human rights.

Moshood Abiola Stadium ? But to be honest what has Abiola even done to deserve all this accolades ? He’s no way near the likes of Tafa Balewa, Nnamdi Azikiwe n co. This is just pure political propaganda. Abiola was only denied his mandate. Notin special he do #DemocracyDay
