JUNE 12! Memorial For MKO Abiola by Tmike0803(m): 1:30pm On Jun 12, 2015 |
Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola (24 August 1937 – 7 July 1998), often referred to as M. K. O. Abiola , was a popular Nigerian Yoruba businessman, publisher, politician and aristocrat of the Yoruba Egba clan. He ran for the presidency in 1993, and is widely regarded as the presumed winner of the inconclusive election since no official final results were announced. He died in 1998, after being denied victory when the entire election results were dubiously annulled by the preceding military president Ibrahim Babangida because of alleged evidence that they were corrupt and unfair. Since then, Nigerians has used this day to honour him and the southwestern states in reference to his memorial has always declared June 12 as a public holiday www.wikipedia.com/mkoabiola
