WHAT WE WANT FROM JONATHAN –Abiola’s Family
As the controversy rages over the renaming of the University of Lagos after the late Chief Moshood Abiola, the family of the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 has demanded for a fresh enquiry into the circumstances surrounding his death.
“There was need for the Federal Government to revisit the circumstances surrounding the death of Chief Abiola in order to effectively bring to end that dark period in Nigerian history and prevent a re-occurrence to any citizen irrespective of his/her tribe, religion, political leaning or station in life,” Mrs. Hafsat Abiola-Costello, the daughter of the late business mogul said in a statement on Thursday.
While applauding the gesture of President Goodluck Jonathan to honour the memory of Abiola by renaming the University of Lagos after him, Abiola-Costello said the best way to immortalise his father was through transparent, free and fair elections, obedience to the rule of law, due process and banishment of injustice and poverty in Nigeria.
Abiola-Costello described her father as an icon of democracy who held unto the mandate given to him in the most free and fair presidential elections ever held in Nigeria till date. “It was the sacrifices of pro-democracy activists, the supreme price paid by my father and other martyrs that led to the current civil rule,” she said.
