In spite of all his flaws, Chief MKO Abiola was an enigma and a true nationalist. There was no single trace of tribalism or religious fanatism on MKO. MKO built churches and mosques nationwide-he supported education,was a strong employer of labour. It was for these reasons (and many more) that in 1993 when Chief Abiola decided to pick a fellow muslim as running mate for presidential elections, Nigerians from all divides stood behind him.
- MKO never made statements supporting Sharia or any islamic sect.
- MKO never participated in any action(s) that sort to humiliate another ethnic group such as deportation.
- MKO gave scholarships to Nigerian children from diverse backgrounds.
- MKO did not have a frog-eyed godfather that would instruct him on how state business should be run.

It is amazing to note that while a rather remorseful IBB-the chief culprit of June 12 annulment remains in PDP and subtly supports Goodluck Jonathan(a southern christian); most of the people that betrayed MKO Abiola and indirectly led him to the gallows are in the forefront of trying to impose a silly muslim/muslim ticket on their so-called opposition party.

Nigeria MUST someday evolve into a society where ethnicity and religion will no longer matter when seeking higher public office. June 12 1993 gave us that unique opportunity but we blew it, thanks to the then Northern muslim-led military government.

Another opportunity will surely come, but not with these present crop of wicked politicians (both at the centre and within the opposition).

Let's watch how it all plays out.

Buhari will fail not because of this silly talk about Muslim-Muslim ticket but because Buhari is unelectable period!

I will be very suprised if Fashola runs with him!
