Jamiu Abiola, a son of MKO Abiola, has stated that Nigeria would have become far better economically had his father, the democracy hero, been allowed to become president in 1993.
Jamiu stated this on Thursday, June 12, during Channels Television’s June 12 Special Forum to celebrate Nigeria’s 26 years of unbroken democratic rule.
“Nigeria would have been better because, at that time, it was a very special time in global times; that 1993 period was a time when the world itself was having an international economic boom.
“So, we could have tapped into that. But what did we get in return? We got a Kleptomaniac as head of state.
“”I am not going to talk about (Sani) Abacha because he has his problems wherever he has found himself,” he said.
