As Nigeria commemorates Democracy Day, Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya has released a powerful visual message to honour the spirit of June 12, 1993 — a historic date that represents the nation’s enduring quest for democratic freedom and justice.
In a tribute titled “On June 12, We Still Stand”, Badejo-Okusanya reflected on the courage of millions of Nigerians who voted with hope in their hearts during the 1993 presidential elections, only to be met with silence and disappointment. Yet, she emphasized, that silence sparked a movement that continues to shape Nigeria’s democratic journey.
“Today, we remember the price of stolen voices. We honour the courage of those who stood firm for truth, justice, and the right to choose,” the message reads. “We reaffirm the unwavering spirit of a people who refused to be silenced.”
She described June 12 not merely as a date but as a lasting legacy — a reminder of what was lost and a call to continue fighting for a better Nigeria.
The statement, boldly themed with a clenched fist wrapped in the Nigerian flag, concluded with poignant hashtags, including:
#June12 #NigeriaRemembers #PowerOfThePeople #OnJune12WeStand
Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya, who uses the platform #BBOLD, continues to be a voice for civic engagement, justice, and national unity.
