In case you have forgotten, this is Nigeria . . . There was a man called Chief MKO Abiola. In 1994 Moshood Abiola declared himself the lawful president of Nigeria in the Epetedo area of Lagos island, an area mainly populated by (Yoruba) Lagos Indigenes. He had recently returned from a trip to win the support of the international community for his mandate. After declaring himself president he was declared wanted and was accused of treason and arrested on the orders of military President General Sani Abacha, who sent 200 police vehicles to bring him into custody. MKO Abiola has been referred to as Nigeria's greatest statesman. His second wife Alhaja Kudirat Abiola was assassinated in Lagos in 1996 after declaring public support for her husband. Moshood Abiola was detained for four years, largely in solitary confinement with a Bible, Qur'an, and fourteen guards as companions. During that time, Pope John Paul II, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and human rights activists from all over the world lobbied the Nigerian government for his release. The sole condition attached to the release of Chief Abiola was that he renounce his mandate, something that he refused to do, although the military government offered to compensate him and refund his extensive election expenses. For this reason Chief Abiola became extremely troubled when Kofi Annan and Emeka Anyaoku reported to the world that he had agreed to renounce his mandate after they met with him to tell him that the world would not recognise a five-year-old election. Moshood Abiola married many wives; notable among them are Simibiat Atinuke Shoaga in 1960, Kudirat Olayinka Adeyemi in 1973, Adebisi Olawunmi Oshin in 1974, Doyinsola (Doyin) Abiola Aboaba in 1981, Modupe Onitiri-Abiola and Remi Abiola. He fathered many children. Abiola died in suspicious circumstances shortly after the death of General Abacha, on the day that he was due to be released, 7 July 1998. While the official autopsy stated that Abiola died of natural causes, Abacha's Chief Security Officer, al-Mustapha has alleged that Moshood Abiola was in fact beaten to death. Al-Mustapha, who was detained by the Nigerian government, but later released, claims to have video and audiotapes showing how Abiola was beaten to death. The final autopsy report, which was produced by a group of international coroners has never been publicly released. Regardless of the exact circumstances of his death, it is clear that Chief Abiola received insufficient medical attention for his existing health conditions. As recounted at the time in a BBC interview with special envoy Thomas R. Pickering, an American delegation which included Susan Rice visited Abiola; during their meeting with him, Abiola fell ill, with what was presumed to be a heart attack which caused his death. |

Foodforthought:Tense? Where? Na only online tense exist my brother. As cited by the dude you quoted, the SC even acknowledged that there were infractions here and there in the election but not enough to cancel the election considering the logistics, finance and time it cost the nation. Have you seen any physical protest after the announcement? All protest na only online, no news media protest sef. 2 Likes |

The Judge will ask Atiku. 1. did you campaign in Borno State? 2. did you campaign in Yobe state? 3. When you went there, was there insurgency/crisis preventing your campaign 4. Was your campaign and that of your opponents peaceful in those state? 5. Why do you now question the voter turn out from these states? |

The truth is that APC had all plans lined out. They are saying go to court like that was not the reason they planted the acting CJN and removed Onnoghen. 1 Like |

Foodforthought:Nothing will happen. Just watch the situation after 10days and you will discover that these noises up and down have retired to their businesses, or better still, APC will help sponsor BBN quickly so that their attention will shift to that side. Most of the noise makers don't last long online and are virtually absent offline when it comes to action. |

Re: Presidential Election: Go To Court If You Wish, APC Tells Atiku by middlebelter(m): 5:15pm On Feb 28, 2019 |
I dont think Atiku and PDP needs any advice from APC on this matter. Buhari was always going to court whenever he lost an election, why should he then be surprise to see anyone going to court to challenge his victory.It is the constitutional way to seek redress after an election and I urge PDP to pursue this to the end. At the end of the day, Nigeria electoral system will be better. |
