As a mark of honour to the late winner of the June 12 1993, Presidential Election, President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday renamed the National Stadium Abuja to Moshood Abiola stadium.
This was announced on Wednesday by the president while delivering his 2019 June 12 Democracy Day celebration at the Eagles Square Abuja.
It would be recalled that Abiola had run for the presidency in 1993, but the election results were annulled by former military President, Ibrahim Babangida, popularly called IBB.
But Buhari, on the 6th of June 2018 recognised the election and awarded Abiola posthumously with Grand Commander of the Federal Republic (GCFR) – award meant for Presidents.
