Real reason Abiola didn’t become president – Obasanjo opens up via politicsngr
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Abiola was the presumed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, but he was denied the top seat by former military president, Ibrahim Babangida, who annulled the poll.
However, speaking at the centenary celebrations of the Baptist Boys High School , Abeokuta, Ogun State, Obasanjo stated that “bad belle” did not allow the school to produce another president. Bad belle metaphorically stands for jealousy.“If not for Nigerian bad belle, M.K.O. Abiola would have been President and with me as President, we would have needed one more old student of BBHS to be President for us to permanently locate it in BBHS after three times.
