JUNE 12th, MKO ABIOLA, SUSAN RICE AND A CUP OF TEA

Ambassador Susan Rice is the American Ambassador to the United Nations. Her long-standing aspiration of becoming the Secretary of State for her country was dashed when the Republicans in the Senate started sharpening their knives in anticipation of her formal nomination for that position by President Barak Obama.

Sensing that her nomination would not scale through the Senate and that she would not be confirmed as Secretary of State due to the role she played in the cover up of the Benghazi affair in which the American Ambassador to Libya and three other American citizens were murdered by a group of islamist terrorists, her nomination was withdrawn.

In lieu of Secretary of State, President Obama has now nominated her for the position of National Security Advisor which is a job that does not require Senate approval or confirmation. I wish Susan Rice well in her new assignment but I am constrained to ask the following questions. What did she put in the tea that she served to Chief MKO Abiola on July 8th 1998 just before he died? She was one of the last people that saw him alive, she served him some tea, he coughed violently and one hour later he died. What was in the tea? Was it Abuja ''green tea'' or Earl Grey or Liptons?

Can someone please ask Susan Rice what her role was in the death of MKO Abiola? Who sent her to do the job and who was she working for? At that time she was Assistant Secretary of State for America in President Bill Clinton's government. Was she acting on his direct instructions or simply on the instructions of her boss at the CIA?

Chief MKO Abiola was the winner of Nigeria's freest and fairest elections. That election took place on June 12th 1993. The following day it was annuled by General Ibrahim Babangida. Shortly after that General Babangida was compelled to ''step aside'' and hand over power to Chief Ernest Shonekan. He also left General Sani Abacha behind to be Chief of Army Staff and Minister of Defence.

A few months later General Abacha toppled the Interim National Government of Chief Ernest Shonekan and seized power for himself. Abiola was arrested and detained. He was never granted his freedom again. Four years later Abacha himself was murdered by forces that are yet to be identified and General Abdulsalami Abubakar took power. Exactly 30 days after Abacha was killed, those same forces that killed him murdered Abiola as well in an attempt to ''balance the equation''.

These are the facts and those are the sequence of events. One thing is self-evident and cannot be denied- whichever side of the divide one may have been on in the June 12th saga, certain questions must be answered. Those questions are as follows. Who killed MKO Abiola? Who killed Sani Abacha? What role, if any, did the former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar and his National Security Advisor, General Abdullahi Mohammed play in the murder of both Abacha and Abiola? What role, if any, did the CIA play and exactly what transpired in the room when Susan Rice, Ambassador Pickering and two other American government officials met with Abiola on the very day that he was meant to be released. Instead of being released on that day he was murdered.

Whose call was that and why did it have to happen? Was it in an attempt to pave the way for an Obasanjo Presidency one year later? Could General Olusegun Obasanjo have been elected Presidsent if Abiola had lived and if he had insisted on claiming his mandate? What was Babangida's role in this whole matter and was he in any way aware of or involved in the making of these crucial decisions?

The Nigerian people have a right to know the truth and it is about time that the few that have wielded power in this country for the last five decades appreciated the fact that they cannot sweep things under the carpet forever and that one day, no matter how long it takes, they will be held accountable by the Nigerian people for the secret choices and decisions that they made.

The truth is that until these questions are answered and justice is done Nigeria will not know peace and will not make any progress. It is a spiritual thing. The fact remains that had it not been for Abiola's great sacrifice and his gallant refusal to bow before the Nigerian military and give up his 1993 Presidential mandate we would not have democracy in Nigeria today. We should do our best to ask the relevant questions, demand the appropiate answers and unearth the bitter truth. We owe MKO Abiola, his wife Kudirat (who was also murdered) and all the other June 12th footsoldiers and martyrs that much.

May God give us leaders that have a conscience that that truly respect and fear Him. May Chief MKO Abiola's soul continue to rest in peace.

And to think that this dude was once a cabinet minister in Nigeria

Did you watch or have you read Zadok's testimony?

When bunch of slaves are being mudered by their slave master what are we suppose to do. We can still see how hell bent they are trying to return their slavemasters to power at whatever cost.

Okay Oga FFK. I bet you sabi basic mathematics naa. Once an equation is balanced then there's nothing more to worry yourself about.

Ile-Ife:

Nigeria wouldn't have known any peace if MKO had succeded cos their are other questions that need ansa before MKO insident. What did MKO know about IBB coup? How much did he invest in spornsoring the coup? Where is the fund meant for ITT that disappeared up till now. So you can see that his hands are soiled as well. He who comes to equity must come with clean hands. What comes around goes around.

I have no respect for Abiola.

The guy it seemed wanted to rule Nigeria at all costs.


Rumour has it that he sponsored the coup to overthrow Shagari, because Shagari did not hand over the presidency to him in 1983; that he sponsored the overthrow of Buhari, when he learnt that Buhari was too non-corrupt and would not give him and his newspapers any preferential treatment.

Babangida was meant to hand power to him, but they fell out sometime during June 12th elections and Babangida decided to annul the election, and fearing for his life, Abiola quickly left the country until Babangida was forced by angry public riots to step down and install Ernest Shonekan as an Interim civilian President.

With Babangida in retirement, Abiola returned from exile and urged /sponsored Abacha to overthrow Ernest Shonekan. When Abacha seized power, Abiola met with him and probably agreed a time table for Abacha to handover the presidency to him.

When it became obvious to Abiola that Abacha had no intention of relinquishing power, he became furious and declared himself President and for several weeks went around the country forming his own parallel government.

Not surprisingly Abacha eventually arrested Abiola.

After a few weeks Abacha gave Abiola a chance to be released on bail on condition he does not leave the country, Abiola declined.


Abiola the man who fraternised with the military and sponsored many military coups, was eventually killed by military man Babangida after Abacha was secretly poisoned.

There is a saying that goes: "If you ride on the back of a bear, you may eventually end up in its stomach"

^^ Buhari is only interested in ruling Nigeria because of his desire to rescue the nation from corruption, if Nigeria was being ruled properly he would be happily retired.

Reserved!!!

what transpired
in the room when Susan Rice, Ambassador Pickering
and two other American government officials met

My dear Femi,
Certain question cannot be answered in this country called NIGERIA. If you want to ask questions and get answers, remember that some others have asked questions and did not get answers. Rather they were told to deal with it.
The Igbos are asking questions about the genocide of Pre-civil war and civil war, and the killings of their people that continued even in post civil war era. Many people on this forum will shut me up and other Igbos that try to ask such question and they will be quick to say DEAL WITH IT.
Femi, your questions are genuine and the answers will heal your wounds. But like us from the South East, you will never get those answers. That is Nigeria for you and that is the Nigeria we live in.
RIP MKO

there's more to all this.

y'all should just keep quiet!

Sheyi

ikenga67: And to think that this dude was once a cabinet minister in Nigeria

Dude! What the fxck are you saying?

He's right on this one. What if na ur pops man dem kill like that, won't you demand for autopsy and proper investigation?

Abeg shut the fxck up.

Some questions need answer in these country. All murder case needs an answer but i doubt if my generation can ever find answer to those question.
RIP MKO

GenBuhari: ^^ Buhari is only interested in ruling Nigeria because of his desire to rescue the nation from corruption, if Nigeria was being ruled properly he would be happily retired.

if the only reason Ayatollah Buhari wants to rule Nigeria is to put an end to corruption, then the old man shouldn't bother, cos we have hundreds of those who can still do that

emmysenior: The other day when I was hammering on the consistent rate of imperialism from these US government, some elements here attacked me like they know all.

Abiola died mysteriously after Mrs Rice served him tea in the course of a meeting, he wriggled and wailed in pains of agony of death before he gave up.

Same things goes for Abacha.

But the most heart rendering thing there was that there were no autopsy to ascertain the real cause of their deaths.

Obviously they were murdered, perhaps by some aliens who claims to be world power to avert some looming danger they only imagined in their heads.

Abdulsalami's role in that death conspiracy is what I just can't comprehend up-till now. IBB, the snake! I'm sure also knew about all those things and had played key roles in them too...

But the good news is that, [b]Karma is really a biatch, it doesn't forgive, it's revenges are always served cold and sweeter.
Ee go only take time... [/b]

The Law of Karma would soon be at its best!!!

The sequence of events that led to MKO's death is pretty clear to everyone with a fair bit of sense.
Nonetheless we need to move on as a nation.

Bro PM me on what you mean pls.....I would love to know some more insight on this!

AjanleKoko:

we just have to keep moving on and sweeping things under the carpet untill it gets to everyone. Until it goes full cycle, Nigeria will never have that Sovereign National Conference.

Was it not Abiola that said that without the igbos he will become the president.Pride goes before destruction.He is nothing but a normal Nigerian encompassed by pride,arrogance and over confidence

Fixing Abiola was unfortunate but right.
