MKO Abiola: Why I annulled June 12 election – Babangida by TheRareGem1(f): 10:31am On Aug 06, 2021 |
Former head of state, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, has revealed why he cancelled the June 12, 1993 election which was popularly perceived to have been won by M.K.O (Moshood Kashimawo Olawale) Abiola. The former Head of state said that he had to annul the election because he thought there would have been a violent coup d’etat. However, his fears came true even after he cancelled the election as there were nationwide protests leading to his resignation giving room for an interim civilian government. The interim government eventually gave way for another military rule through a bloodless coup spear-headed by late General Sani Abacha. When asked why he annulled the election, which was widely considered to be the best in the country’s history, the elder statesman said; “Do you want me to be honest with you?” “If it materialized [If the election had gone through], there would have been a coup d’etat which could have been violent. That is all I can confirm.” He said “It didn’t happen, thank God for the Maradonic way we handled you guys in the society.” He added that the election “could have given room for more instability in the country.” Asked further if he was pressured by the military or civilians to annul the election, Babangida said: “Both.” “Both, the Military, they can do it because they have the weapons to do it. The other is the social agitation.” 1 Like

Even though he did not mention Osinbajo's name directly it appears he is referring to him. By mentioning 60s means Atiku, Tinubu, Yahaya Bello, etc are ruled out. On a second thought, Peter Obi will be in his 60s too. 4 Likes |

Babangida might have not mention the name of Osinbajo directly but i percieved he is actually talking about him. Even if Babagida did not mean Osinbajo, I can see Osinbajo as a man who is capable of giving us a new and better Nigeria. |

It's simply bad belle and payback time When Babangida started Structural Adjustment Program, Tinubu as ExxonMobil Treasurer, and famous Newspaper columnist vocally lambasted the Program When IBB annulled the 1993 Election with hopes of ruling forever, it was Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu that raised the motion to pass vote of no confidence on Babangida's regime which eventually forced him out and brought Shonekan an IBB stooge Abiola and Tinubu still travelled down to Odogbo cantonment Ojo Ibadan to connive with General Abacha to chase Shonekan and Babangida's stooge out of Aso Rock IBB and Obasanjo would rather die than see Tinubu in Aso Rock . 2 Likes 1 Share

Educationalserv: Osinanjo is never innovative. He's part of this satanic regime. I get annoyed when you people now say Buhari is bad and Osinbajo is good. Are they no longer on a joint ticket? Osinbajo was the one that first drafted pensions for ex-governor in Lagos that other states copied from. What was innovative about that useless law? 1 Like |
