No doubt that MKO Abiola won the June 12 elections

“Although I am on record to have stated after the election that Abiola may not have won the election, upon deeper reflection and a closer examination of all available facts, particularly the detailed election results, which are published as an appendix to this book, there was no doubt that MKO Abiola won the June 12 elections.”

Snippets from ‘A Journey in Service,’ the autobiography of former Nigeria military head of state General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB).

The long-awaited autobiography, which was reviewed by former Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo, was released today, February 20, 2025, at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja.

Osinbajo disclosed that IBB admitted that the late Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, popularly known as MKO Abiola, won the June 12, 1993 presidential election.

He quoted the former military general in his book that if he had to do it all over again, he would do it differently.

He stated: “He also answers the question whether Abiola actually won the June 12 election, and I quote him, ‘although I am on record to have stated after the election that Abiola may not have won the election, upon deeper reflection and a closer examination of all available facts, particularly the detailed election results, which are published as an appendix to this book, there was no doubt that MKO Abiola won the June 12 elections.”
