Voter turnout was higher in the south than in the north. The Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate Moshood Abiola received over 8 million votes, and won in 19 states and the Federal Capital Territory. The National Republican Convention (NRC) candidate Alhaji Bashir Tofa received over 6 million votes and won in 10 states only. Over 14 million people voted. Abiola won in Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Benue, Borno, Cross River, Delta, Edo, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Kwara, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Plateau, Taraba, and Yobe states, and the Federal Capital Territory. Tofa won in Abia, Adamawa, Bauchi, Enugu, Imo, Katsina, Kebbi, Kogi, Niger, Rivers and Sokoto States.

Abiola’s victory was comprehensive as he won almost 60% of the total votes cast. Only in two states (Kebbi and Sokoto) did Abiola fail to obtain at least one-third of the votes. Abiola even defeated Tofa in Tofa’s home state of Kano.

Hmmmm June 12. That was where Nigeria began to really fail and die. What we have now is a carcass that doesn't know it is not alive

Lol... Afonjas have been playing tribal politics even in 1993, did anyone notice how every yoruba states voted Abiola meanwhile northern states like kano and kaduna voted against a fellow northerner.

oodualover:

Blah blah blah. Northern slave!!!
Tofa won in Abia, Adamawa, Bauchi, Enugu, Imo, Katsina, Kebbi, Kogi, Niger, Rivers and Sokoto States.
Shameless tribe

They are really shameless to be honest.
Tofa won in Enugu,Abia and Imo lol.

Tofa won in Enugu,Abia and Imo lol.

Yet they always say we betrayed the south. I always say it that iboes gave their vote to obasanjo in 1999 because they had no choice. The two main candidates running for president were Yoruba. Assuming obasanjo ran against a northerner like Atiku, they wouldn't have given Obasanjo their vote. They are known to lick northerners ass

Check history before you talk.
You seem to have forgotten so soon how Obasanjo rigged PDP primaries in Jos to beat Ekwueme.
Go back and check it, come back so we'll continue.

Why are you foolish . Didn't you see that we believed in one nigeria then, thinking it will work out. Didn't you see how Igbo speaking states voted different parties without shading blood afterwards between the states that voted otherwise. That is to show you how matured we are. How peaceful Biafra will be. People for the people and by the people and not Party/Religion by the people and to the party/Religion.God bless Biafra

All in fear of your precedents. Green snake in a green grass.

For crying out loud, Nigeria is divided into two: Northern Nigeria and Southern Nigeria. An average Northerner does not know this is NW or NC or NE. What he knows is North. North is North as long as you speak Hausa. President can come from any region and they will happily vote him.
If you come down to the south, we keep dividing ourselves, your SW, am SE or He's SS. For God's sake South is South.
We're more Educated, civilized, richer and have more technical nohow than this people putting us in loggerheads.
We're still leading them, since the return of democracy in 1999 South has been President for 14 years, if Buhari finishes First tenure North will have 6years, even if Buhari is elected again that will give North 10 years. We have 4 years ahead of them.

Please let's put our house in other, South is South.

It is worthy of mention here that the 1993 election adjudged the freest nd fairest in Africa's election history was conducted by an Igbo man Prof Humphrey Nwosu(option A4).








Just wanna make common sense

Talk to the dead

that was then

They have turned the thread into a tribal war... 9ja youths...

Yoruba peeps we get it abeg. You guys were cheated but we have more than compensated with Obasanjo's double tenure..... Next!

Sometimes I wonder how Nigeria would have fared under the presidency of MKO. Perhaps, we would not have been in this hell hole caused partly by the military and selfish politicians.

That was when Nigerians were United.

How does this help Present day Nigeria governed by pmb

Growing up then, I still remember some of the campaign jingles
Abiola's lyrics goes like this, I have forgotten some
Abiola na the man oh, SDP na the party
...................
For better tomorrow oh!
My brother, Wetin we go do oh?
My sister, helep Don come!
MKO/ Kingibe Action!!!
Abiola Abiola Abiola progress!!!
Then Bamanga Tukur's own
Bamanga Bamanga
Tukur Tukur
Anywhere you see Bamanga
Stand there Stand there

Lol.... Option A4, the freest and fairest election in our history

See how these e-diots are about to lay waste to a thread that should generate a good and sound debate over tribal issues? SMH!

I googled a topic I wanted answers to earlier in the day and I clicked on the Nairaland website I was shown. I read through it and didn't find a single answer to the topic that I sought. It was just comment upon comment of senselessness.

Sometimes I wonder where this country would have been if this election hadn't been truncated. A businessman extraordinaire. He would have surely brought it to bear on the country. And at that time, things were not as terrible as they were now.

Ok

You gave tofa, a northener majority of your vote and you have the gods to insult Yoruba people because we did same in 2015.
You iboes are hypocrites

Take your advice to Yorubas. If you look at the votes above, SE and SS voted massively for Abiola; a southerner. Yorubaas are the ones dividing the South; not SS or SE. Yoruba is the problem as facts show from their actions.

IBB comes to mind

Op why do you want to open "old wounds"??!! We are in a sensitive place as a Nation and this type of memories isn't good for our present situation..........
