Sonaiya, on her Twitter handle, @oluremisonaiya, asked what would happen to the perpetrators of the injustice.

“This posthumous honour done to #MKOAbiola means that the Nigerian Govt at the highest level now acknowledges that there was a travesty of justice over #June12.
“Now that the victim is finally getting “justice”, what happens to the perpetrators of the injustice?” Sonaiya tweeted.
The 1993 presidential poll was widely believed to have been won by MKO Abiola.

However, the election, which was conducted by the government was former military ruler, Ibrahim Babamosi Babangida, IBB, was annulled.
The cancellation led to nationwide protests which caused death, injury and incarceration of hundreds of Nigerians.
Meanwhile, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted to the GCFR award given to Abiola and declaration of June 12 as the Democracy Day.
