A hero is not someone who lived long but how much he impacted on the lives of others when he was alive...

Not perfect..infact if MKO had run Nigeria we would have been hearing about even worse corruption cases (he had wives)..but what happened...the denial of his mandate...was wrong. That is why June 12 fight was necessary....so that mandates would not be denied.

GEJ in a way is a good product of the June 12 battle...in the way he conceded defeat despite people advising him to stay in power. In 1993 and especially in 1997...Abacha preferred to hear the sycophants.

No more sit tight rulers.

exlink10:
Seventeen years after the murder of the acclaimed winner of Nigeria’s 1993 presidential election, Chief Moshood Kashimawo Abiola, activists gathered at his residence in Lagos on Tuesday to commemorate his death.

Chief Abiola died mysteriously on July 7, 1998. Many believe he was killed, but the military government later claimed he had died of cardiac arrest.

The activists were led by Dr. Joe Okei-Odumakin, the President of Women Arise, and they praised his legacy, which they described as “indelible”.

They were hosted by children of the late businessman and politician, including Hafsat Abiola-Costello and Abdulmumuni Abiola. Also at the commemoration were some Nollywood professionals such as Kunle Mak-Tokunbo also known as Dejo Tunfulu, and Ayo Bahdmus.

A pro-democracy activist, Comrade Femi Aborisade ,said leaders of successive Governments in Nigeria who have failed to implement Abiola’s Hope '93 ampaign manifesto were all culpable in his murder and the hope he represented.

Is as much as I sey RIP 2 abiola, I Dnt tink he is a true legend of africa & ngr. We need 2 stop celebratin anytin & ask 4 d truth. Is dat any yoruba leader dat has money & was in govt is now a ngrn legend? Like srzly? Do u knw dat abiola was 1 of d richest men in 9ja @ one time because of his close ties wit iBB den? Infact he & iBB use 2 be so close dat he took deir closeness 4 granted & iBB adequately checked him. He is 1 of d pple in ibb's govt dat contributed 2 d corruptn durin d regime. Even Fela sang abt dis man, & called him a thief. Let's get our history rite b4 we jump on d band wagon. Even d electn he won was cancelled by ibb because ibb had evidence of bribery & electoral riggin by sdp party officials. Why do u tink d British & usa kept quiet afta ibb threw his arse in2 prison? Is because ibb provided evidence of electoral fraud. Ask urself why did Al-mustapha walk free not long ago wen accused of murder of kudirat abiola? Guys abiola mite av bn ok, but he is no saint & shd nt be celebrated as a hero of yoruba nation. D real hero's are wole soyinka,Fela, felas mother Awolowo etc.

Guy when next you want to criticize check your facts right. It is more embarrassing to be wrong with criticism than what you wanted to criticize.
Please note I agree with you that he was not a saint at all. But he was already a Billionaire as at the time Babangida was the President. He single handedly bank rolled Shagari's election in 1979. He was even insulted in 1983 when he wanted to contest as the party flag bearer that the party's ticket is not for the highest bidder. CHECK MY FACTS
