JUNE 12: Sacked democratic institutions should also be recognised — Oba Kosoko
Oba Idris Oladele Kosoko, Oniworo of Iworo Kingdom, Lagos, was a House of Representatives member (Badagry West) in the 3rd Republic. While in parliament, Kosoko was Chairman, House Committee on Science and Technology. The monarch, who is pleased with the Federal Government’s recognition of June 12 as Democracy Day as well as the symbol of the 1993 presidential election, the late Chief MKO Abiola, however, is not happy with the arrangement that excludes other democratic institutions shut down by military intervention at that time.
