June 12 - Citizens Remember Abiola, 18 Years After
Nigerians still vividly remember Moshood Abiola, 18 years after his election as President on June 12, 1993 was quashed, then gave birth to the current democratic era, on the backs of a guerrilla warfare, incarcerations, bloodshed, and terminated careers.
Former Presidential Adviser, Tanko Yakassai, described the annulment as a mystery in Kano, and the ebullient MKO was celebrated in Osogbo, while the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP) pitched in Lagos that the Eagle Square in Abuja be renamed MKO Abiola Square to immortalise him.
