Ambode declares June 12 Public Holiday

Image
Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode on Thursday declared Friday, June 12 as a Work Free Day in commemoration of the annulment of the June 12, 1993 elections which was presumed to have been won by late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Abiola. In a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Habib Aruna, the governor said the date marked a watershed in the annals of transparent, free and fair elections in the country. He said June 12, 1993 was the day Nigerians voted in one voice across ethnic, racial and religious lines, saying it represented the real democracy day when Nigerians said no to voting along ethnic lines.

May I use this opportunity to comment on the Statement below released to the press and general public on Thursday 19th June 2014 by Caesar Kagho on behalf of the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB), with respect to the classification process for the film “Half of a Yellow Sun”.

The NFVCB does NOT relate nor communicate with an exhibitor with respect to film classification. It is the film’s distributor not an exhibitor that applies for classification and communicates with the Board on classification issues. FilmOne Distribution Limited is the distributor of HOAYS whilst Filmhouse Cinemas is a film exhibitor like others including Silverbird Cinemas and Genesis Deluxe Cinem...

Buhari said in Abuja, adding that he picked a man of unimpeachable integrity to assist him in rescuing Nigeria.
