But he killed them initially......Babangida at it again

Twenty years after the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential elections presumably won by late business tycoon, Chief M.K.O Abiola, the Head of Abiola family, Mubashiru, yesterday, exonerated former Military President, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida from the complicity that led to the death of Abiola in government’s custody. Rather, he said that Babangida, who annulled the election, had been a pillar of support to the Abiola family since the business mogul died in detention on July 7, 1998. Mubashiru, M.K.O Abiola’s younger brother spoke at Abiola’s Oja-Agbo family house in Abeokuta during the 2013 June12 democracy walk organized by the Ogun State Government. The disclosure came on a day that President Goodluck Jonathan said that ‘June 12’ had changed the history of the country for good as leading politicians, activists and groups at different events to commemorate the 20th anniversary of June 12 lamented that little or no improvement in the welfare of Nigerians had been achieved since 1993, adding that poverty among the citizenry had worsened.  Meantime, the Federal Government said, yesterday, that it was ready to immortalize Abiola and urged Nigerians to come up with suggestions on how best to honor the late politician. The government’s effort to name the University of Lagos after Abiola last year hit a brick wall with opposition from stakeholders and students of the institution where were those declaring public Holidays in their respective states,when Babangida was taking care of the family... Infact some of the Governor are not celebrating MKO instead they use that medium to campaign for their political aspirations. Sincerely they are only maximizing the face/name of reputable personalities to promote there political relevancy and interest,without honoring their Families or represeningt what they stood for.
