Soyinka: Why Abiola must be declared elected president
Latest Politics, Wole Soyinka Saturday, July 7th, 2012
MKO Abiola was the nation’s elected president. Let that fact be enshrined in the nation’s records, then we would have embarked on one of the tributaries to the amplitude of true national reconciliation”.
With those words, Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, spoke on the anniversary of the death of Chief MKO Abiola, the acclaimed winner of the annulled June 12, 1993 presidential election. Abiola died 14 years ago, precisely on July 7, 1998.
According to Soyinka, redressing June 12 goes beyond “dubious renaming ceremonies which generate needless and distracting controversies”.
The Nobel Laureate message was entitled, ‘National Day of Treachery’
