List Abiola among Nigeria's ex-Presidents - Aregbesola

Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola has called on the Federal Government of Nigeria to include the late Politician, Business man and philanthropist, Bashorun MKO Abiola as one of the country's past Presidents.


The governor yesterday urged President Gooadluck Jonathan to go beyond the renaming of a federal varsity after the late Abiola, but acknowledge his victory in the June 12, 2003 presidential election.

Aregbesola, while expressing his position on the renaming of University of Lagos (UNILAG) as Moshood Abiola University, said enlisting the late politician as a former President would help.

The governor said: “What could permanently heal the wounds of the incarceration of Abiola and the brutalisation of his supporters is to officially recognise the fact that he won the presidential election of June 12, 1993 and accord him posthumously all the rights and privileges associated with the office.”

Aregbesola, who spoke through his media director, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon, said the late Abiola won the election decisively, noting that it was bizarre the manner the winner of an election could be subjected to the degree of humiliation Abiola suffered until his eventual death.

His words: “While acknowledging the fact that Abiola deserves the honour. We must not forget the need to recognise his victory. The fact that the Federal Government has eventually honoured him with this renaming of the University of Lagos is an admission of the fact that Abiola was unjustly denied his victory.

“If that is the case, then I urge the Federal Government to go the whole hug to recognise his victory, according him, all the rights due to the office of the President of Nigeria posthumously.

“This is the only way to heal the wounds inflicted on Abiola and the brutalisation of the psyche of the Nigerian people.”

ifihearam: What rubbish

who be guys ? Are you high ?

You may win an election; but you'd have to be sworn in first before you could be called a "president".
And it's embarrassing that a man in such a sensitive position in Nigeria's polity isn't aware of this.

By the way, are my eyes playing tricks on me or does that article actually say "June 12, 2003" elections?

What is wrong with Aregbe, how do people think sometimes, he won but was never sworn in, is that man ok?

That should be a typo error, or some of them don't even know when it actually happened.

That man definitely is not ok judging with is appearance and statements.

see our priorities nigerians ...chei!!!!!

I am glad i left that shithole back in the 90s

Who won what? De guy declared himself de winner, absent de consent of electoral comitee. Ohh maybe he's talkin abt de president of OPC

Please lets have MKO Abiola day on June 12 every year and lets have a public holiday. After that, everyone should jug on and get on with their lives. He is worth more than an Ex-President.

This Aregbesola of a guy must be insane if not how would he expect a person that was not sworn as a president to be refer to as ex president.

I needed this laugh.
