I'm sure MKO would be rolling in his grave by now. The same Buhari that was frolicking with Abacha while the former was punishing Abiola in jail. The same Buhari that as a former head of state and a General in the Army, never condemned the June 12 annulment. Now in order to win empathy with the Yoruba race, he just threw them a ball to chase. It's saddening that the great Abiola is now being used as a political pawn.

in a statement, Kola Ologbondiyan, spokesman of the PDP, said Buhari’s action showed “smacks of hypocrisy and political desperation ahead of 2019 presidential election”.

“President Buhari’s action merely sought to use the name and person of Chief Abiola to gain a political capital and not out of genuine reverence and recognition for him. The party recalls that President Buhari, who was serving in the military administration of General Sani Abacha during the travails of Chief MKO Abiola, did not associate either by words or actions with the late winner of June 12 election,” the statement read.

“History did not record President Buhari as sympathetic to the Abiola’s family when his wife, Kudirat, was gruesomely murdered by the agents of a government which president Buhari served.

“It is therefore a sign of political desperation for President Buhari to seek to use Chief Abiola’s name as a tool to sway Nigerians in less than twelve months to an election where he is seeking a second term.”

In a veiled reference to Babagana Kingibe, Abiola’s running mate in the election who later abandoned his principal, PDP said: “It is also shocking that the respectable grave of Abiola can be dishonoured by granting a posthumous award on him along with someone who denounced the June 12 mandate and preferred the company of his (Abiola’s) traducers. Even those who now masquerade as change agents were opposed to the naming of University of Lagos after Chief Abiola.

“If President Buhari genuinely wants to honour chief Abiola, he should do so by ending all anti-democratic proclivities of his administration and allow for the rule of law and respect for our constitution.”

The same man that was spitting on Abiola's face while he was in Jail and frolicking with his captor, in now the one pretending to 'care' for Abiola's legacy.

If you can't see that this is just a mere political gimmick, them i'm sorry for you.

If Abiola were to still be alive, I'm very sure he would be happy to accept this from Buhari as well.

Let Abiola children and family say that. You can’t be crying more than the bereaved

They might have been bought over, don't you think? If Abiola was still alive, they sure won't be frolicking with the enemy.

PDP should try harder.

They had 16years to achieve the feat but they chose to look away. Under their nose, PMB stole the glory.

Who truncated democracy in the first place ? Was it not this same Buhari

PDP keeps digging its grave. The best move to do with Buhari's spectacular political maneuver is to STFU and let the euphoria ease.

What did Abiola family get in honour of their father for PDP 16 years in power!

Honestly PDP should be ashamed for issuing out that press release. They are mad

Hahahahah. Reminds me of what usually happens when you give a hungry dog a bone.

If you want to press Ibo mumu button, just massage their ego about Biafra and show them a rendition of the 2nd Niger bridge you will build for them

Shattap! And stop taking panadol for another person's headache.
We Yorubas are happy with the development and it does translate to us voting PMB in 2019.
Go to hell!!

It was a national movement on June 12 1993 with MKO as the face not his children! Let nigerians old enuff who participated and witnessed the events have their say not only family of his.
This is a pure gimmick that haas failed!

Kudos to Buhari on this feat

Even my Organisation's HR office one of the few Yorubas who dislikes PMB is now praising him.

Sincerely Buhari has won 2019 Presidential election

This is your interpretation! My own interpretation and that of millions of yorubas is quiet different

It’s like an hat-trick in an away game! Signed sealed and delivered

Who said this will win over the SW? That person needs a thorough brain scan.
This can't even shift the angle of depression or elevation of any SWer to do the needful come 2019. Only those twitter Lord's are the ones making it look Asif it's acceptable. Once again the Daura President underrated the intellect and Sense of The masses, expecting this to work effecticely. smh
