\n
Susan Rice, a former UN Ambassador and National Security Adviser, NSA, to Barack Obama, has detailed in her new book, the last moments of the presumed winner of the June 12 presidential election, late MKO Abiola.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

Abiola died July 7, 1998 in the custody of the Nigeria military junta after 4 years in detention.<\/p>\n

The book is titled\u00a0\u2018Tough\u00a0Love: My story of the things worth fighting for\u2019, is a 531-page autobiography.<\/p>\n

She dispelled a widespread conspiracy theory that alleged that she gave Abiola the tea laced with arsenic that killed him in the presence of Rice, then \u00a0US Ambassador to Nigeria, Bill Twaddell;\u00a0and\u00a0Under Secretary of state for political \u00a0Affairs, Thomas Pickering.<\/p>\n

According to her, the tea was offered to Abiola from a tea service on the table\u00a0in the room, five minutes into the conversation when he started coughing\u00a0rackingly and consistently.<\/p>\n

She said the intent of the meeting was to meet with Abiola whom she said was wrongfully imprisoned, to negotiate his freedom so he could participate in the elections scheduled then.<\/p>\n

According to Rice, Abiola came into the meeting \u2018robust, and happy to see us, sat on the couch and began to tell us how poorly he had been treated during his four years in prison. He was wearing sandals and multilayered traditional Nigerian dress. I noted that his ankles were swollen\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She continued\u00a0\u201c\u00a0About\u00a0five minutes into the conversation, Abiola started to cough, at first mildly and intermittently, and then rackingly with consistency. He said he was hot, so I asked his dutiful minder, \u201cPlease turn up the air-conditioning.\u201d Noticing a tea service on the table between us, I offered Abiola, \u201cWould you like some tea to help calm your cough?\u201d \u201cYes,\u201d he said, with appreciation, and I poured him a cup. He sipped it, but continued coughing. Increasingly uncomfortable, Abiola removed his outer layer, leaving one layer on top. I shot Pickering a worried glance\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ms. \u00a0Rice disclosed further\u00a0\u201c\u00a0The\u00a0coughing became dramatic. I told the assembled men, \u201cI think we better call for a doctor.\u201d No one argued. The minder\u00a0immediately placed the call. Abiola asked to be excused and went into the bathroom of our meeting room. When he emerged, he was bare-chested and sweating profusely, barely able to talk. He lay down on the couch writhing and then rolled facedown onto the floor. The doctor arrived promptly, took a quick look at him, and declared that Abiola was having a heart attack and must be transported to the hospital immediately. The men labored to lift the heavy Abiola into a small car, and we rushed to the nearby, rudimentary presidential hospital. I grabbed his\u00a0eyeglasses\u00a0off of\u00a0a side table where he left them, his only belonging, thinking of his daughter\u00a0Hafsat\u00a0in the U.S whom I\u2019d met before we left. The doctors worked on him, furiously, but within an hour they pronounced him dead\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe braced for violence. Abiola\u2019s sudden and mysterious death would hit like a bombshell in Nigeria\u2019s political tinderbox. Conspiracy theories would spread like metastatic cancer. Serious unrest throughout Nigeria was possible. Washington would hyperventilate, since\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0not every day a major figure drops dead with senior U.S officials. His family would need to be told. And, urgently, Nigeria\u2019s acting president would have to hear directly from us, even though his minister was present at the hospital and knew how it went down.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAmbassador Twaddell panicked and urged me and Pickering to rush to the airport and leave the country immediately. \u201cHell no,\u201d we said. This delicate situation required deft management, not a hurried exit in a cloud of suspicion. Right away, I called National Security Advisor Sandy Berger, my former boss, briefed him, and dictated a White House press release. Then we went to the Nigerian presidential palace to relay the entire drama to the acting president. We urged him to issue a careful statement to announce the establishment of an autopsy by international experts, in order to quell rife speculation and limit the potential violence. The acting president did both.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cNext, Pickering, Twaddell, and I went with former Nigerian Foreign Minister\u00a0Babagana\u00a0Kingibe\u00a0to see Abiola\u2019s wives and daughters. All of us walked in together, but soon I realized that I was effectively alone in the room with these distraught women. The men had hung far back and left the job to me\u2014just like the pouring of the tea. I proceeded to explain that their husband\/father was dead. He had died of an apparent heart attack that began in our meeting. The\u00a0doctors did all they could to save him but could not. The ladies\u2019 wailing was so intense; it haunts me to this day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe briefed the press, and I returned to the US embassy to write the official cable to report what had happened. As a senior official, I almost never wrote up cables summarizing meetings but in this\u00a0case\u00a0there was no more efficient way to ensure we got this very important history straight. As I was typing, I heard in the distance on the CNN a familiar voice of indignation. It was none other than the Reverend Jesse Jackson, then serving as President Clinton\u2019s special envoy for the promotion of democracy in Africa. Reverend Jackson served capably in this role, and with good intentions, but on this occasion, I could have throttled him. He was riffling about how Abiola died under suspicious circumstances in a meeting with US officials. I could not believe my ears – our own guy implying we were killers! Immediately, I placed a call to his longtime aide Yuri and asked them to shut the Reverend down. \u201cPlease, just get him off the set.\u201d That happened, even as I was still watching the segment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe stayed overnight in Nigeria to try to calm things, offer any needed assistance to the government, and make an orderly departure. Fortunately, despite deep public upset, no significant violence occurred. The autopsy eventually confirmed the cause of death as a heart attack. Nonetheless, it was Nigeria where conspiracy theories abound. The most popular, which still has currency over twenty years later, is that I killed Abiola by pouring him poisoned tea. From that experience, I found that being a woman policymaker comes with unique hazards. The men would not have offered, much less thought, to pour the tea. They may have swiftly called for a doctor. They may not have been able to break the bad news to the wives. Not for the first time, it was I, not they, who took the public fall for a crime nobody committed.\u201d [Extracted from: \u201cTough Love: My Story of the Things Worth Fighting For\u201d by Susan Rice]<\/p>\n
