Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka has called on Nigerians to attach more importance to the celebration of June 12, saying it is more valuable than even the Democracy Day in the country.
Soyinka said: “We need to remind ourselves what June 12, 1993 represents. It is neither mere date, nor sentiment. It is simply – Human Spirit. What a futile undertaking it is then, when some individuals attempt to deny or crush it. Yet it was the power of this very Spirit that brought such out of relegation or obscurity, even from the jaws of death, and bestowed upon them relevance and prominence.”
