One of the daughters of the late MKO Abiola, the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, has pegged the victory of the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, as similar in stance to that of her late father.

Mrs. Hafsat Abiola-Costello, who is the founder of the Kudirat Initiative for Democracy, stated that Buhari’s campaign of change had given Nigerians a fresh new hope.

She further urged the President-elect to act in line with people’s expectations of him and not to disappoint Nigerians.

Abiola-Costello made her point known when the senator-elect of Kaduna-Central senatorial district Alhaji Shehu Sani, paid a visit to the Abiola family in Lagos, on Thursday.

In her words, “I wrote a letter before the elections expressing my support for Gen. Buhari and for us in this house, we are happy to see that he emerged victorious in spite of the many efforts to deny him of victory but we must be aware that one man cannot change Nigeria. Such a person needs a strong team.

“We need people who are ready to sacrifice for Nigeria. That was the first time I ever endorsed a candidate and it was because the way Nigeria was going, I felt this was our last chance to get things right. I didn’t see a better way to save Nigeria. Before we start celebrating, we need to know those who will constitute his team

“This is similar to what we saw in 1993 when people looked beyond ethnicity and religion and chose MKO Abiola. You can see that Nigerians are trying to tell the world that they deserve better.”

Abiola-Costello also appreciated Sani for paying a visit to the family.

Yorubas need to take daily pills, the madness is getting out of control. How is it like your fada? Is the election annulled?


Buhari is already confirmed President and GEJ is handing over. Abiola was not. Abeg go find your level.
