President Muhammadu Buhari has officially declared the presumed winner of the June 12, 1993 Presidential election as Grand Commander of the Federal Republic (GCFR).

The honour on the late Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola with the GCFR title comes 25 years after the election, which is recognised as the freest in the history of Nigeria.

It is almost 20 years after Abiola died in prison after being jailed by military dictator, General Sani Abacha for trying to claim his mandate.
