President Bola Tinubu on Thursday conferred national honours on MKO Abiola, a former chairman of the defunct National Electoral Commission (NEC), and Humphrey Nwosu, among others.
Tinubu conferred the national honours on them during his June 12 address to a joint session of the National Assembly in Abuja.
“As we mark a twenty-sixth year of unbroken democracy, it is right to honour those who have made sacrifices in the past, braving all the odds and the guns to ensure we have a regime of democracy in our country,” Tinubu said.
