May God bless that man

I laugh when some corrupt element claim that Igbo hates them. The Igbos has always supported them but when it's time for them to support the Igbos without asking for anything in return. But na Tinubu and obasa brainwashed them into believing that the Igbos hate them because of politics .
Who won majority of the votes in Igboland during that election?
Was it not Tofa, Abiola's opponent?

So 30 years from now also they will tell us "Truly Peter Obi won the 2023 elections"
1993 election and 2023 elections have something similar.

Babangida has never ever said Abiola never won the election...

Even when he canceled the election. He has only been vague,elusive and never given any coherent reason as to why he canceled the election.

I see the book hasn't shared any more light on that either.

So he hasn't told us anything we don't know!
I think his hand was forced to cancel the election by certain powerful people both military and civilian and he had no choice. I believe he really wanted to hand over to his longtime friend.

Re: MKO Abiola Won June 12 Election - Babangida Finally Admits by ElevationD:
He brought this nation to its knees from the day he overthrew Buhari in 1985.

IBB and the members of his then Armed forces ruling council played this country and the entire citizens from 1985 until 1993, allowing Abacha to overthrow Shonekan in 1993, to further add misery to a grieving nation.

Babangida’s years are just like the back of my hand. Shagari’s so called corruption years were nothing compared to IBBs. Babangida was known as chop - I - chop.

It was Babangida who introduced the obnoxious import license regime, which was obtained by allocation, ending the open general import regime of the then Shagari’s regime. Import licenses were only given to the rich and well connected, who sold them at very huge sums, making billions for themselves.


Shagari completed the Kaduna refinery.

Textile mills worked. Motor factories worked. There were jobs everywhere. The minimum wage was 200 naira as of 1983 and workers were happy. Rents were easy to pay. Lands were cheap to purchase. Many also got lands for free.

Shagari heralded Nigeria’s industrial revolution when he started the construction of Ajaokuta Steel Mill but could not complete it before his overthrow by IBB in December 1983.
The Petroleum institute Warri was built by Shagari.
Shagari built the Aluminium smelter company, Ikot Abasi in 1982, including Kaduna, Jos and Osogbo.
Shagari completed the Delta Steel company also.

He built the Bakalori Dam in Sokoto State, South Chad Irrigation Scheme, Borno State, Dadin Kowa Dam Bauchi State, Goronyo Dam Sokoto State, and Zobe Dam, Kastina State, Ogun river dam, Kafin Zaki dam in Bauchi state. He had too many projects.

Shagari moved the nation forward following Obasanjo.

IBB set the nation back with his famous SAP. He devalued our currency when he introduced the second tier foreign exchange market in 1986. The naira which could be bought and sold on all streets all over the world, effectively began its setback and failure. You could carry your naira cash and get it exchanged wherever you went on the streets on Europe and USA. Babangida ruined everything.

June 12 was a happy day for all Nigerians, irrespective of tribe and religion. Babangida conducted a very free and fair election on one hand and with the other ruined it. Option A4 was clean, clear, straight forward and accepted by all. Nobody snatched any ballot box. Nobody fought anybody. There were no emkz, madridguy, seunmsg, and other tribalists like them on Nairaland on that day. All voted happily, shaking hands, sharing drinks. Everyone knew the results from the polling booths. Abiola won the election, with no doubt from all and no objection from Ibrahim Tofa, his opponent.

You only confessed this because you are dying. You know how many blood you shied that period. Forgiveness is between you and God.

One day BAT will say the same thing... Karma has gotten hold of IBB and he's regretting his actions. Miscreants take note

It was the court judgement that made babangida to cancel June 12 election, it was not entirely IBB fault.

That decision to annul the election won by MKO ABIOLA destroyed so many things that we are yet to recover from till date as a country
Mention just 2
If Buhari not given opportunity, history would be kind to him that, the most honest and incorruptible man in history of Naija, but not allowed to get there.


In as much, I wish Abiola who won to rule Nigeria, but let say he became president, he would have come and left without visible positive impacts just like others.



The one that saying he is performing surgery on Nigeria's belly now, after 8 years. He would still be complain about surgery without single recovery, and the Fulani that will come after him, will rubbish every surgery and returns Nigeria to 20 years behind as his fellow Fulani usually do, before you know. ....................circle continuing............

MKO Abiola was a drug dealer that's is why the election was annulled.

Unfortunately, . Nigeria still ended up having a drug baron as the president
