This was the position of the Lagos State chapter of the Accord Party (AP), which stated that until this was accomplished, "June 12 Day" would remain a stain and turning point in the tumultuous democratic history of Nigeria and Africa.

In a statement issued by the party's State Chairman, Dele Oladeji, to commemorate Democracy Day on June 12, the Lagos AP requests that Tinubu declare MKO the president-elect.

He argued that granting the party's request would restore faith in the democratic systems of Nigeria and Africa, as well as bring a great deal of maturation and confidence to the democratic system in Nigeria.

The chairman of the Lagos AP stated that it is appropriate to bring Justice to June 12 because some of the active actors are still alive.

Oladeji submitted that  “We request a release of the official result of June 12, a declaration of late MKO as the president-elect and presentation of insignia of office and necessary compensation to his family.

”The requests will not be for only late MKO Abiola but for all Nigerians and the world at large, who will feel a huge relief.

 “It will also restore their faith and hope in the country afresh.

“At this time, June 12 Day should start to be celebratory like Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

“Also, it should stop being a day we keep mourning the injustice, loss of lives and property and the democratic rape of the June 12 debacle.

“It will build trust, faith and hope in the government of Tinubu and develop and foster rapid growth of the judicial and justice systems and processes in Nigeria.”

“Ex-president Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, who annulled the election, is still alive, as are Prof. Maurice Iwu, the third Independent National Electoral Commission chairman who conducted the election; Prof. Wole Soyinka and Mr Dele Momodu.

“Others are Dr Kayode Fayemi and President Bola Tinubu, who were major actors and prominent agitators in the June 12 debacle.

“Tinubu was not only a victim and active actor but also went on exile with other like-minds, members and leadership of NADECO.”
