Winner of the annulled June 12, 1993 presidential election, late Chief Moshood Abiola’s son, Lekan Abiola has bared his mind on former military president, General Ibrahim Babangida (retd).

Lekan said: “Ever since we returned from the United States, we have met with IBB, and he apologised to us privately. When he later came out publicly to say he was sorry for annulling the election and acknowledged that MKO won, he simply repeated in public what he had said privately. Every year, he sends someone to represent him at the June 12 events.”

“Before now, the private apology didn’t go far. It felt like being punched in public and receiving a quiet ‘sorry’ behind closed doors. His public admission that MKO won the election brings us peace and puts to rest any lingering doubts.”

“Some people used to question whether he really won, but now that IBB has released the full results, it is officially acknowledged there’s no more controversy.”
