The Senate on Thursday directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to formally announce the results of the June 12, 1993 presidential election.
The upper legislative chamber also stressed the need to pay all allowances and entitlements to the winner of the presidential election, late MKO Abiola and his running mate, Babagana Kingibe, be paid to their families.
Lawmakers also insisted that May 29 remains the date for inauguration of elected public officials, even as they charged the Federal Government to declare June 12 as public holiday.
The resolutions followed a Point of Order moved by Deputy Minority Whip, Biodun Olujimi at Senate plenary.
The lawmaker commended President Muhammadu Buhari for announcing the conferment of national honour on the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993, presidential election, MKO Abiola.
