Late MKO Abiola: gets post honoured

Dr. Joe Okei-Odumakin

Women Arise and Centre for Change has reacted to the resolution by the Senate calling on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to officially declare the results of June 12,1993 elections.

This, according to a press statement signed by Dr. Joe Okei – Odumakin, President of the Centre, is an encouraging decision and the natural sequence having declared June 12 democracy day and putting due recognition for Bashorun Abiola .

The official release of the results, as the group argued, would clear the air on Abiola’s victory and “no one henceforth will call Abiola the ‘presumed’ winner of that election again.”

The group added: “We also demand that Abiola should thereafter be declared an elected President of Nigeria with all post-humus recognitions. The appeasement of his spirit would be complete with this.”
