President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday admitted that June 12, a day late Chief M.K.O Abiola won the nation’s freest and fairest election 20 years ago has changed the history of the country for good.

Speaking shortly after inaugurating the chairman and members of the re-constituted Police Service Commission, Jonathan said June 12 was a unique day in the nation.

The President said although the Federal Government has yet to recognise the day as public holiday, some state governments were already doing so.
