The fiery preacher said the
presumed winner of the June 12, 1993 election used his life as a sacrifice for
the country’s democracy.
“To God, government is a continuum. What one government does will affect subsequent governments. The democracy we’re enjoying today MKO Abiola paid for with his life yet only a section of the nation honours him,” he had said.
“Until we bring a closure to June
12 1993 it will hang ominously on subsequent governments. Call his family and
give him posthumous honours for the price he paid, otherwise everyone standing
on red carpet is standing on his blood.”
Fast forward to 2018, President
Muhammadu Buhari declared June 12 as Democracy Day and also conferred GCFR, the
highest honour in Nigeria, on Abiola.
