This week, specifically, Sunday, July 7, 2024, marks the 26th year remembrance anniversary of the death of Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, simply known as MKO Abiola. He won the June 12, 1993, presidential election by a wide margin. Unfortunately, high wire politics engaged by some forces of darkness chose to deprive Abiola of his victory. Like the Joan of Arc who was considered an heretic, only to be discovered to have been for real, Abiola has since been declared the winner of that election.
I don’t know who is asking him to apologise. Is anybody asking him to apologise? If a leader does what he thinks is the best thing to do in a given circumstance, but a leader when he has superior facts can change his mind. That won’t amount to an apology and nobody is asking him to. I’m not.It will continue off and on until the military releases the result of the June 12 election and puts the democratically elected president – who is myself – in charge of affairs.
In ITT, Concord, RCN, Summit Oil, in the bakeries, in the bookshops and in the press, we employed people purely on merit – round pegs in round holes. Period!
