Tinubu will bring MKO Abiola's vision to fruition

Yahaya Bello with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu
Gov. Yahaya Bello of Kogi has said Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in 2023 presidential election would bring the vision of late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola, the presumed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election to fruition.
Bello spoke when, he, alongside the Director-General of his Presidential Campaign Organisation, Hafsat Abiola-Costello, on Saturday led various groups of Nigerian women to commemorate the June 12 Democracy Day in Abuja.
The event was held in honour of the late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola, the presumed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election.
Bello, a presidential aspirant in the just-concluded primary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) said the event was held to keep the hope and vision of Abiola alive.
Bello said that he was excited that almost 30 years after the demise of Abiola, his vision continued to be relevant, adding that this was one of the reasons he was determined to contest the position of president.
“Today, we are commemorating and remembering June 12, championed by our father, our hero, our legend, our icon, Chief MKO Abiola and Hajiya Kudirat Abiola.
“I appreciate God almighty and all those who stood firm, saw a vision, sacrificed and are still sacrificing for the cause of democracy in Nigeria.
“I appreciate our President, Muhammadu Buhari, and his team who deemed it necessary that after 29 years, our father, Chief MKO Abiola, deserved to be well honoured and decorated posthumously with the highest honour of the land, Grand Commander of the Federal Republic (GCFR).
Bello said the late Abiola represented hope for this country and for the current and future generations.
