Pro-june12 Activists Honor Kudirat Abiola by smsshola(m): 6:31pm On Jun 05, 2015 |
Late Kudirat Abiola died on June 4, 1996 in a state sponsored assassination which was executed by Sergeant Rogers, an errant sniper for Nigeria's Military junta led by General Sanni Abacha. Kudirat was one of the legitimate wives of Chief MKO Abiola, who won the June 12, 1993 election in Nigeria, but the election was annulled by the sitting military dictator, General Ibrahim Babangida. Mrs. Kudirat was assassinated in Lagos after several protests were conducted to resist the annulment of election that was clearly won by MKO Abiola. Some of the protests were led by Kudirat Abiola. 19 years after, Pro-June 12 activists gather at residence of the family in Lagos, where she is also buried, late to make tributes in a wreath laying procession. The commemoration tagged "The Labour of Our Heroine" was attended by former military administrator in Lagos State, Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu; widow of radical human rights attorney Chief Gani Fawehinmi, Mrs. Ganiyat Fawehinmi; OPC leader, Mr. Gani Adams, President of Women Arise, Dr. Joe Odumakin and other supporters of Chief MKO Abiola's family and mandate. The activists demanded that the Federal Government currently headed by President Muhammadu Buhari should immortalize Mrs. Kudirat Abiola over her personal role and sacrifice for Democracy in Nigeria. |
