Nigerians have recognized MKO Abiola as ‘elected president’ since 1993 – Femi Falana

Human rights lawyer Femi Falana says Nigerians have already recognised the late MKO Abiola as a former president of the country.

Abiola won the 1993 election which was annulled by former military president Ibrahim Babangida.

Thirty years after the exercise, Babangida during the launch of his memoir admitted that Abiola indeed emerged victorious in the election but he annulled the poll due to “national interest”.

Since Babangida’s admittance, there have been calls for President Bola Tinubu to recognise the Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate as a former president of the country. But Falana argued that Abiola has since been accorded that status by Nigerians.

“Since 1993, he has been recognized by the people of Nigeria as an elected president,” Falana said on Tuesday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today. “These guys who try to set the hands of the clock back are just recognizing that now.”
