Former Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole has disclosed that the late military dictator Sani Abacha attempted to buy off M.K.O. Abiola’s claim to the 1993 presidential election. According to Oshiomhole, Abacha was willing to offer Abiola anything, including his freedom, in exchange for relinquishing the mandate won on June 12th. Oshiomhole emphasized Abiola’s unwavering commitment to principle, choosing to stand by his victory despite the potential cost. In separate remarks, Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa stated his state’s readiness to implement state policing.
