Family of the late Chief M. K. O Abiola has demanded apology from former military head of state, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (IBB) for annulling the June 12 1993 presidential election.<\/p>\n

Alhaja Amina Irawo made the demand on behalf of the family at the commemoration of the 2023 Nigeria\u2019s Democracy Day celebration, held at the late Abiola\u2019s residence at Ikeja, Lagos on Monday.<\/p>\n

It will be recalled that the former military head of state annulled the poll acclaimed to have been won by the late MKO Abiola.<\/p>\n

According to her, \u201cwe want IBB to apologise and announce the late Abiola as winner of of the 1993 presidential election.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Bola Tinubu should declare the late Chief MKO Abiola winner and announce him president-elect of the June 12 presidential election.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge the president to also give the family all late M.K.O Abiola\u2019s entitlements from June 12, 1993 till date.<\/p>\n

\u201cTinubu should honour one of late Abiola\u2019s wives, Alhaja Kudirat Abiola, who died for the struggle for democracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe should honour her as first lady of \u201cHope 93\u2033 and give her children all the entitlements due to her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Irawo, who is also a human rights activist and Founder of House of Politics, urged the Sanwo-Olu administration to give the late MKO Abiola\u2019s house in Lagos a befitting face lift due to a president.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Sanwo-Olu who was represented by his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, pledged that the house would be taken care of.<\/p>\n

The governor urged all to continue to pray that God protected and sustained the family while he enjoined the people to come together to build a nation that all would be proud of.<\/p>\n
