AMILOADED MEDIA HUB NEWS UPDATE
The family of the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, the late MKO Abiola, has urged the President Bola Tinubu-led Federal Government to pay all the incentives due to the Abiola family.
The family secretary and one of Abiola’s children, Ameen, made the call while speaking to newsmen during a prayer session held at the MKO Abiola family House, Gbagura, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The family secretary said beyond payment of the entitlements, the family wished that the government implement most of the people-oriented policies which Abiola promised Nigerians while alive.
The military junta of General Ibrahim Babangida had annulled the June 12, 1993 presidential election, which is widely believed to have been won by the late MKO.
However, former President Muhammadu Buhari, in 2018, formally conferred on Abiola the national honour of the Grand Commander of the Federal Republic, reserved for Presidents.
Ameen, while speaking with journalists, called on the current President to pay the family presidential entitlements due to Abiola.
He said “I believe that this government has the capacity to be able to ensure that all incentives that are due to the Abiola family get to the Abiola family.
“So, I believe this government would do everything it takes to make sure that all that we ought to have got from previous government would get to us.”
