SENATE ADOPTS MOSHOOD ABIOLA AS FORMER NIGERIAN PRESIDENT

“We need to be guided. I think the whole essence of this discussion was to recognise the fact that Chief MKO Abiola, his contributions, what he had been through, his tribulations. For many years, it was long overdue. The good intention is what we should recognise. There might be imperfectons in how it was implemented but let us for today take the good intention’.

“The other issues, I’m not saying they are wrong or right. Whether the award is right, the process, constitutional amendment to recognition of Babagana Kingibe’ position as Vice President, the process of making June 12 a public holiday. In the spirit of all those imperfections, we should not allow that to cloud what Chief M.K.O Abiola is,” he said.
