The lawmaker at the green chamber, representing the people Lagelu/Akinyele federal constituency, Chairman House Committee on Urban Development and Regional Planning, founder of Olatoye Sugar foundation (OSF) and Oyo state governorship aspirant, Hon. Olatoye Temitope Sugar, has lauded the effort of President Buhari on the GCFR title to be conferred posthumously on MKO Abiola tomorrow June 12th.

Hon. Sugar while speaking at his office at the OSF headquarter in Ibadan said, the idea to give the award of Nigeria’s highest national honour to late Moshood Abiola is actually the right move and it is with a pure motive. 

Meanwhile, President Buhari’s announcement has received mixed feelings, with supporters of the government seeing it as a welcomed move while critics dismissed it as a desperate political calculation ahead of 2019 elections in which Mr Buhari has declared he would run for second term.
