MKO Abiola is not a citizen of Nigeria, he is dead, you can't confer GCFR on a dead man - Dino Melaye

Dino Melaye the senator representing kogi west senatorial district warns President Muhammadu Buhari for going against the Nigerian Constitution, by honouring M.K.O Abiola with the title of Grand Commander Of The Federal Republic (GCFR) and also changing the democracy day from May 29th to June 12th.
He said;

I am a democrat, I believe that Abiola deserves even more than the president has pronounced because he was a patriot

He continued;

“Subsection 2 of the act says a person shall be eligible for appointment to any rank or holder unless he is a citizen of Nigeria. A dead man is not a citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We should not be emotional about this. The law remains the law.”
