One of the wives of the late MKO Abiola, the winner of the annulled June 12, 1993 presidential elections has announced her intention to run the affairs of Lagos come 2015.
Modupe Onitiri-Abiola told newsmen that her intention to run for the highest seat in Lagos was born out of her unquenchable desire to assist in the eradication of poverty from the state.
However, she is yet to name the party on which she will run.
Read Ontiri-Abiola's speech below:

'There should be no more poverty in this state or in this country. There is so much poverty and the situation on ground is extremely terrible, worse than what we thought it was at that time. But I am trying to look at what exactly is in the interest of the people.

What I am trying to do now is eradicate poverty and I know once you remove poverty, you remove everything and for you to be able to remove poverty, you need to have programmes. Some of these programmes include social welfare, free education, free health, affordable homes, good roads, providing for people that are not employed, helping people that are in business and who want to get into business.

When all that is put in place, you will eradicate poverty. Poverty should not exist in this country, not even in Lagos State'.

Today is the 20th anniversary of the annulled elections, generally agreed to have been the freest and fairest in Nigeria, ever.

Make we see weda tinybu and d rest wey use Abiola name get political power go gree.

nobody in yorubaland has used Abiola's name to gain political seat. The only compensation was allowing OBJ to rule.
Most people rather hid under the pretext of being in alignment with awolowo to stay relevant.

But as for this, biliv me, whatever party, she is loosing!

The only reason Abiola was respected is cos of his philanthropy that outweighs tribalism, and his love for his country. The rest are history.

Kola, his first son, won't even dare what this slowpoke is trying to do.

As said, she is failing with a woe!

Not gonna happen.sinply not good enough.

Why not Ogung state Is lagos her husband's state of origin?

That is non of your business. What about if she's was born, raised and hailed from Lagos? You are intellectually challenged and also lack common sense.

Eko Ile faints

I wish her all the best!

Same thing we have been hearing all this years

watching

eeeeiiiyaaaah!!!!

Watch! MOST of the criers on this thread are from east of the Niger! LWTMB! @Topic, Chief Abiola's name will NOT be enough to have you elected in any place in the SWest, you build from the foundation. Join a party, participate, serve in some way, commissioner, be known to the people, then bid for smaller elective office and then move-up. If you just show up with a name as respected as Awolowo, without any characteristic that makes Chief Awolowo respected today, you will NOT be fairly elected. Even Baba Awolowo will not vote for such a person himself! He was such a principled man and people recognize and associate with his values which are unparalleled in Nigeria today!

Must u always express how low ur mentality is? How did Tinubu use Abiola's name? U just open ur mouth n pour out ur empty brain,Mumu unlimited

it is better said than done, no one can do it better than Fashola's first regime, even he is still trying despite all forces that surround him

I dnt have a crystal ball,but she aint winnin atall.

How many wives did Abiola have?

She should run for president abeg.

aw! Sorry o.

Hilarious!

Her embarrassing lose will bring shame to those who have been clamouring for the continous immortalization of MKO.

Looks like you always get wet each time you hear anything concerning the east. It must give you some kind of lustful satisfaction. Carry on, Mrs Oringo.

She dreams. She must be Racael, mother of Joseph.

Please visit that thread, not that it will change your hatred and bigotry about the Igbos.
