The Olugbon of Orile-Igbon, Oba Francis Alao has described the newly institutionalized June 12 as a celebration of mediocrity, adding it is also a mockery of what the late Moshood Abiola fought and died for. It is not a reflection of June 12 and good governance which he died for. What we see is only what those politicians want for their own interest alone,” he noted. “I am even tempted to say we are not yet ripe for democracy if what we see now is all they can offer us. But I still have hope in this country but our political class has work to do in this regard,” he said.
