Buhari And Abiola: Uncommon Traits! vanguardnews
President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision in 2018 to honour Chief Moshood Abiola as the winner of the June 12, 1993 election was unarguably one of the most profound decisions of his presidency.
Indeed, he was seen more as a collaborator against June 12 given his visible role in the Sanni Abacha government that stifled the mandate and life out of Abiola. Both men seemed to inspire a kind of following that only many of their contemporaries would only have dreamt of. While the following between both men was seemingly cultic at their peaks, it, however, would be a great error to equate the two men in terms of political dynamism, operation and sophistication.
