Former Abia State Governor and Senator for Abia North, Orji Uzor Kalu, has urged President Bola Tinubu to officially recognize **the late Chief MKO Abiola as a former Nigerian president. He emphasized that Abiola’s portrait should be displayed alongside past leaders in the Presidential Villa, acknowledging his victory in the June 12, 1993, election, which was annulled. His statement follows General Ibrahim Babangida’s (retd.)recent memoir, where the former military ruler admitted Abiola won the election. While praising former President Muhammadu Buhari for awarding Abiola a posthumous national honor, Kalu insisted that full recognition was necessary to bring closure to Abiola’s family and Nigerians.

Kalu also commented on Babangida’s memoir, stating that it failed to disclose key details about the annulment and urged him to release a second volume revealing the full truth. Expressing confidence in Tinubu’s 2027 re-election, he urged Nigerians to be patient with the administration, stating that history has shown many presidents faced initial resistance before securing second terms. He reaffirmed his party’s support for Tinubu and predicted a victorious outcome in 2027, adding that Nigerians would eventually celebrate the reforms being implemented.

This actually makes sense, even though it's comming from a corrupt thief.
As for Tinubu reelection, other politicians should forget 2027 and be planning for 2031

The painful part is this confession is coming after 32 years. Ain't that too long? 😞

They said , they were scared of Abacha when he was alive, thats why they didnt declare him president.

Maybe they are still scared of his ghost, now that he is dead.
