KEHINDE OYETIMI writes on the relevance of the June 12 commemoration held on Friday last week in Ado-Ekiti with the theme, June 12: Lighting the Candles of Democracy. This aspiration eventually got the desired result when last year, President MuhammaduBuhari moved the country’s Democracy Day celebration from May 29 to June 12. He equally berated those who were popularizing the ‘fulanisation’ and ‘islamisation’ allegation against President Buhari. For the Ekiti Speaker, Afuye, Nigerians owed President Buhari gratitude, considering the road that led to the recognition of June 12. He advised the public to disregard what he termed misleading rumours of the ‘fulanisation’ agenda of President Buhari.
