Funny enough I happen to be affiliated to both of them through my late maternal grandmother and we still have one grand like uncle we call Mko (Musibau his real name).
Their hero today was a religious bigot just like buhari. Late MKO Abiola sponsored the sinking of a � filled with bible into the Atlantic Ocean.

Asides that, he was said to have indulged in changing of figures on a signed cheque just to enrich himself. I urge you all to go about accurate researches or findings, you will find out more about these irrelevances we adjudged as national heroes today. Note that Abiola, Obasanjo, IBB and the rest were close allies that are well equipped with first hand information about each other.

Buhari honoured him just because they are both different sides of the same coin and for political excuses for his gallant inept and failure as far as governance is concerned.

Obasanjo in my opinion is the father of democracy( handing over to a civilian government) though he is the grandfather of corruption and also let his I too know and messiahnic believe in only himself to rubbish his previously attained excellence.

I do not class Abiola as the hero of democracy neither do I see the present day Obasanjo, Buhari, Shonekan, Tinubu and the rest of the greedy irrelevances we have in our present day Nigeria as nationalists or worthy heroes.

Until we stop idolising inept people as leaders, praising those who are supposed to be stoned or cooling their asses off in prisons, I fear that the great nation we crave is very far from actualization. Let us take a cue from real developing nations like Japan, China and some Asian nations. (developing nations in my view is different from Third World nations: argument for another day).
God bless The Federal Republic of Nigeria.
God bless Ogun state.
God bless Egba nation.
God bless H.E DAMILARE .S. ADENIYI (GCFR) Nigeria president to be.
