Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, in a video published on Youtube, accused the United states of murdering Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, the acclaimed winner of the 1993 presidential election, by poisoning him with “Abuja tea”. Mr. Fani Kayode singled out former US diplomat Susan Rice as the one who personally gave Abiola the tea, which he drank and started coughing immediately until he died.
According to him Abiola was killed by US and the military government in power at that time because he stubbornly, and rightly so, refused to relinquish his overwhelming mandate. They killed him in order to pave way for a new beginning, he claimed.
He said that June 12 changed Nigeria and that all the troubles we have in the Nigeria today is traceable to the annulment of the freest election in the country’s history. The former spokesman of Goodluck Jonathan 2015 Presidential Campaign recalled that before then Nigerians, despite minor problems here and there, were a united people.
As far as Fani-Kayode is concerned, MKO Abiola and his wife, Kudirat are the true heroes and martyrs of democracy and therefore the real democracy day should be June 12 and not May 29. He argued that Nigeria would not have had a democracy today if not for June 12 and Abiola’s sacrifice.
“The military would have still been in power or the country would have broken.
“It was June 12 that save the country.”
Mr. Kayode criticized the domination of the North and lamented the fact that 90 percent of those in vital positions in Aso Villa today are occupied by Northern Muslims, just as all strategic military commands. He argued that the policies and marginalization of the Igbos by President Muhammadu Buhari are responsible for the agitation for secession.
He also condemned the killing of unarmed Biafra protesters, Christians in the North and Shiite Muslims, the long incarceration of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kalu and the continued detention of Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky and ex-NSA adviser, Sambo Dasuki despite numerous court orders ordering their release from detention.
The former minister said that Nigeria has crossed the bridge and can only be redeemed by restructuring.
