Former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, has revealed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu threw his weight behind Gen. Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida’s decision to annul the June 12, 1993, election won by the late Moshood Abiola.

In an exclusive interview with AriseNews on Sunday morning, Lamido stated that he feels highly entertained by Tinubu’s rhetoric and the way he’s dramatising his role in Nigeria’s democracy, hence his decision to make the bold statement about the President’s involvement in the June 12 annulment.

He stated that President Tinubu was in the Senate as the secretary of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), after which he became more prominent and noticeable in Nigeria’s politics following the takeover of the government by the late Gen. Sani Abacha.

”I feel highly entertained by Tinubu’s rhetoric, the way he’s dramatising his role in Nigeria’s democracy. Tinubu became relevant and noticeable after Abacha took over the government; before then, he was in the senate while he was the secretary of the party. He was part of those who supported IBB’s annulment of the June 12 election.

”His mother, Hajia Mogaji, was organising Lagos market women to come to Abuja to pledge support for Babangida. Tinubu was actively hand-in-glove with Babangida. NADECO was postulated to fight Abacha, not for June 12,” Lamido revealed.

Last month, Lamido also charged President Tinubu to be courageous enough and pay the alleged N45 billion owed to the family of Chief MKO Abiola by the federal government. He believed that paying the 45 billion debt to the family would offer symbolic closure to the June 12 struggle and acknowledge Abiola’s unjust treatment.

“When General Murtala Muhammed died, Abiola came in with a claim that he was owed, I think, about N45bn for contracts executed by International Telephone and Telecommunication for the Ministry of Communications. The military high command at that time said no. He went around the emirs in the North to lobby, and the emirs asked that they, the military, please pay the money.

“They said they cancelled the June 12 elections because if they made him president, he would take his money and the country would become bankrupt. Those who were close to Abacha should know this because Abacha was then one of the big shots; they were all aware.

”I want to appeal to President Tinubu to finally close the chapter on June 12. In his book, General Ibrahim Babangida acknowledged that Abiola won the election. When I visited him, he also confirmed that Abiola is owed N45 billion. He was doubly punished: first, denied the presidency, second, denied what is owed to him,” Lamido said.

Na Lamido go tell us wetin happen for Lagos. Can Lamido tell us what his role was in the ingominy ?!

Should any rationale being listen to NADECO who led the fight for June 12 on who supported them or the likes of Lamido and Obi who worked for Abacha foe their selfiah gains.

Lamido should make sure to be taken his medicine regularly.

The skipping would make him to be talking like this

Nigerians are no longer in doubt about this. His latest actions as president has outed him as a two-faced schemer. Look at the people he has even attracted to his camp after winning. Reno, Bwala, FFK, Segun Sowunmi and other snakes. Birds of a feather indeed, do flock together.

P.S: Shehu Sani's post in 2019 before he decamped back to APC and got bribed with a CON. They know Sule Lamido is right.

A failure talking with both sides of his mouth.

All of them are born to betray.

No wonder Abiola's children said Yoruba's killed their father and ate his meat.

Some even collected money from Abacha according to Almustapha.

Shame of a people.

Tinubu is anti democracy and many zombiees are here claiming he's a democrat

Why is truth always painful..

His people are well known for the action… is always intentional.. it runs deep.

Power to the people !!!

The coalition is almost done

Great fact is that … the government and his goons are snoring ..

Reason for their noise and propaganda

E go too shock them

A well known fact that some South West folks supported and are benefiting from it

Tinubu is all shades of evil. Anyone who still believe he has anything good to offer needs a new brain

This attention-seeking, desperate, jobless politician has dropped another useless lamba for his gullible followers.

Watch them leave Lamido to blame the IGBOs

Tinubu as elected Senator then wouldn't have supported the cancellation of election that affected him

Another lamba. This information surprised me sha. Is that true Oga President?

Tinubu's hands were not clean. Remember he was trying to show loyalty to Abiola. I knew he tried becoming Minister under Abacha.

Wow, Sule Lamido isn't holding back, is he? It's pretty wild to hear him claim that President Tinubu actually supported the annulment of the June 12 election and was even "hand-in-glove with Babangida." That definitely flips the script on how many of us remember that time. And saying NADECO was really about fighting Abacha, not June 12, just adds another layer to the story.
Then there's the whole N45 billion debt for the Abiola family. If it's true, as Lamido suggests, that IBB himself confirmed this debt and it played a part in the annulment, that's a huge revelation. It makes you wonder what other hidden layers there are to Nigeria's political history. It's clear these comments are going to stir up a lot of conversations and maybe even force some people to revisit their understanding of those tumultuous years.

After fighting for democracy, you suspended an elected governor.

Continue to deceive yourself.

Tinubu was fighting for his own personal gain..

Another lamba. This information surprised me sha. Is that true Oga President? But I can't believe. I remember those period. Everyone never had such thought or heard such

So... 45 billion in 1993 is 45 billion in 2025... Make una fear God oooo

Different scenario surrounding the June 12 annulment.

Wao... Tinubu and Habibatu campaigned seriously for MKO in the streets of Lagos. We all saw them but to claim he supported Babangida rascality is what I don't know

Support any politician at your own peril.....

Sue Lamido to court for defamation if you think he's lying

This is very insightful.

T-pain, pls come and defend yourself and your mom.

I knew to expect this...

Doon it would be Tinubu and his father started the biafra war

I believed the story why June 12 was annulled. The truth is coming out, the debt narrations is a goal. Na dem dem.

Then the same Tinubu now turn around to protest against it? Make it make sense cutlass face.
