Kola Abiola, the first son of late Chief MKO Abiola, the acclaimed winner of the annulled June 12, 1993 Presidential election, has uniquivocally declared that his father was murdered.
Speaking to Channels TV in an interview make it monitored on Wednesday night, Kola said, “You don’t have to put a gun to his head to kill him. As far as I am concerned,, obviously, he was killed. He had a blood pressure problem, ordinarily. If he didn’t get a regular treatment, of course, if you have malaria and you’re not treated, you will die. That’s very simple. For me, passive? Directly? It’s what I will say in any situation.”
Abiola was arrested and detained by the General Sani Abacha led military junta after he declared himself the democratic President of Nigeria in the famous Epetedo Declaration on June 11, 1994. He died on 7 July, 1998 in detention. On Tuesday in Abuja, President Muhammadu Buhari conferred the highest national honour of the Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger of the Federal Republic (GCFR) posthumously on MKO and apologised, on behalf of the Federal Government, to the Abiola family for the way way their breadwinner was treated.
During the interview, Kola described the highest honour given MKO by the Federal Government as a confirmation of his father’s victory at the June 12, 1993 Presidential election.
He said the demand for the outright release of the result of the election by the Senate does not erase the significance of the President’s gesture as a recognition of his father’s electoral victory.
When asked if he would press for further investigation into the circumstances surrounding his father’s death, Kola said he would rather await the outcome of a Federal Government truth and reconciliation process.
“Collectivelly as a country, as a healing process, we got an apology from the Federal Republic of Nigeria. What else do you need?,” he queried, almost irritated.
When the interviewer, Gbenga Ashiru mentioned that the Senate was pressing a demand for the Federal Government to go ahead to declare the result of the June 12, 1993 Presidential election , Kola said that was what (Rochas) Okorocha used to call “ebereberism”.

YOU ARE 100% CORRECT BRUH. THEY USE THEIR BRAIN ARRANGE YAM PORRIDGE

Everything is not settled, brah. There is never a statute of limitations on murder.

He took rat poison...

yes he was sold just like salah ram to be slaughtered as a sacrificial lamb for the rest to learn the hard way,karma is a biitch.

Is better to die for something in your own father land, than run away to Ivory Coast, come back and die for nothing.

The Fulanis don't only use and dump you, they use you like sanitary pad and kill you like sophisticated morons.

And he is now vindicated,even in the grave...May his soul rest in peace

Abiola deserves to die because his hands are stained with blood by funding coups.

Don't think you know anything about Abiola. I'm sure you're still inside your mama's womb as at 1992 during the general election
So I'm not surprised with ur comment

"As far as I am concerned,, obviously, he was killed."

His personal opinion...

I feel for the Abiola family. Having been drawn to the public space in this way and manner, I hope Kola will be more careful about HOW he says things.

If called upon to name those that "obviously" killed his father, I believe he will stutter...
