Here are 12 personalities involved in the June 12 tragedy. [img]http://i.onthe.io/vllkyt7i8oo411iuc.55182ee7.jpg[/img] Arthur Nzeribe On June 10, 1993, Nzeribe tried to stop the election, relying on a court order which his group, Association for Better Nigeria (ABN), got from late Justice Bassey Ikpeme of Abuja High Court. ABN was known to be pro-Babangida. [img]http://i.onthe.io/vllkyt24p9ritd6ss.7e89049c.jpg[/img] Babagana Kingibe Babagana Kingibe was Abiola’s running mate. It was the first time Nigeria would have a Muslim/Muslim presidential ticket. Reports had it that Kingibe never believed that a southerner would be president.

His running mate in the election was Sylvester Ugoh, one time governor of the former Central Bank of Biafra. Tofa later joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), and became a member of the party’s board of trustees. [img]http://i.onthe.io/vllkyt4bnhn7hv0fm.d9ee189b.jpg[/img] Ibrahim Babangida General Ibrahim Babangida was the head of state who annulled the june 12 election. He was reportedly close to the acclaimed winner of the election, Abiola. IBB is currently a member of the PDP, made several attempts to return as a civilian president, but did not even succeed in picking the ticket of his party. Till date, IBB has is yet to give a straightforward answer on the June 12 issue.

He went on exile but joined the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), which campaigned vigorously against the military. |

He was the chairman of NADECO. Despite serving Babangida, he described his regime as “the time when things started to go wrong, with increasingly centralised control”. Believed to be the winner of the annulled June 12 election. Moshood Abiola was thrown into detention for declaring himself as president after the regime of Sani Abacha refused to restore his mandate.
