got from late Justice Bassey Ikpeme of Abuja High Court. ABN
was known to be pro-Babangida.

Ndubisi Kanu

He was appointed governor of Imo state in March 1976 but later in
life joined the pro-democracy movement and played a leading
Role in the agitation for the actualisation of June 12.

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”.

Moshood Abiola was thrown into detention for declaring himself
as president after the regime of Sani Abacha refused to restore his
