Democracy Day: Kwara Shifts June 12
Activities
Kwara State Government has shifted activities commemorating the
June 12 Democracy Day in the state to Friday June 14.
“This to enable State Governors, including Governor AbdulRahman
AbdulRazaq, on the invitation of the Federal Government, to join Mr
President and over 80 foreign leaders and dignitaries at the
inaugural national commemoration of the day in the capital Abuja,”
according to a statement by Rafiu Ajakaye, the chief press
secretary to the Governor.
“What this means is that the event slated for the Metropolitan
Square and State Banquet in Ilorin will now hold on Friday 14th
June instead of Wednesday June 12.
“Kwara will nonetheless observe the national holiday slated for
June 12 as earlier announced by the Federal Government. There will
be no new holiday on Friday.”
The statement noted that many other states are also changing
their own schedule of the event in order to join President
Muhammadu Buhari for the inaugural June 12 commemoration in
Abuja.
“We urge the Kwara public and all invitees (from outside Kwara)
to the events in Kwara State to please take note of this slight
change in the schedule,” it added.
