We consider it a positive omen that after you took over from Chief MKO Abiola as the AareOna Kakanfo, after 19 years of waiting, the federal government has found the need to recognize Chief Abiola. We are calling on you to please join your voice in asking for generational shift in Nigeria’s political space, because this is the only way to advance the gains of democracy”
