Pro-Democracy Icons Honour Tinubu, Soyinka, Ajibulu, Others in Lagos
Gbenga Sodeinde in Ado Ekiti
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka and All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain and pro-democracy activist, Chief Segun Ajibulu, were among distinguished Nigerians honoured in Lagos on Wednesday for their roles in the struggle against military rule and the enthronement of democracy in Nigeria.
The recognition was conferred by the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) during the public presentation of NADECO Story, a book authored by former NADECO General Secretary and spokesman, Ayo Opadokun, at the MUSON Centre, Lagos.
The event, which drew several prominent figures from across the country, was aimed at celebrating distinguished Nigerians and institutions that played critical roles in the tortuous campaign for the restoration of democratic governance following the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election.
