Abuja National Stadium Renamed In Honor Of Moshood Abiola

President of Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari has renamed the Abuja National Stadium as Moshood Abiola National Stadium.

He made the declaration in his speech during the first Democracy Day to be marked on June 12, at the Eagles Square, Abuja.

Pro- democracy activists and many Nigerians have for a long time pushed for the naming of a national monument after the late politician, who was believed to have won the June 12, 1993 presidential election that was later annulled by then military head of state, Ibrahim Babangida.
