Although I was in primary school that year, I can still remember vividly when his campaign bus came to our street to campaign. We were group of young children just playing around the neighbourhood. We saw the bus packed on our street, without seeing anyone there, we began to sing "MKO is our man o" and all other jingles of his then. Suddenly, a young man appeared as the driver and gave us the highest currency then (20naira). We ate chocolates and drank lots of soft drinks from that money that day. That was one of the moments I never forgot while growing up. We were all heartbroken when we heard of his sudden demise. We were all waiting anxiously for his announcement as our new president then. Very unfortunate for Nigeria at that time.
Watch how a Nigerian presidential candidate was speaking 27yrs and ago and compare with the way the candidates speak today ; then judge by yourself if the country is going forward or backward. What a country!
"The most brilliant doctor in Norway might not have treated malaria before and you bring him to Nigeria to formulate policies on health for us" Very apt.. You fought a good fight MKO.. Rest on....
RIP, the great, irrepressible, kind-hearted MKO! Your ghost will perpetually hunt your killers, including those among them who are dead as they glided into eternal perdition. I was not too young in 1993 - I was of voting age but couldn't vote on account of change in residency shortly before the election month. My vote was to be yours automatic, given your pedigree, sincerity & genuineness to identify with commoners and fight their cause. We knew how liberal you were to everyone who came across you. Your footprints were in every field of human endeavour. A shrewd business man, flamboyant supporter of sports, philanthropist and pan-african. We were full of hope and ecstatic about a better tomorrow for our dear country then, back in June 1993; your campaign slogan was indeed 'Hope 93'. Unfortunately, the evil cabals and their international collaborators dimmed the common-man's HOPE with the annulment of your election as President, and your eventual assassination. 25 years after, it seemed the common-man's HOPE was gone into the grave with you! Alas, the hero in you, all of a sudden, re-surfaced with the recognition of your election as President, and presidential declaration of June 12 as Democracy day which ultimately immortalised the struggle for emancipation of the down-trodden that you died for. Event of the past week has just rekindled our hope that no matter what the forces of evil may do, good will prevail one day and Nigeria can actually re-discover herself. Let's therefore believe in our land that its best is yet to come. We will work for her good, and stand on the side of the truth always - as our PMB just did. Long live, Nigeria! (NOT NAIJA)
The president that never rule. Moshuud Kashimawo Olawale Abiola. You came and you tried your best. May Almighty Allah forgive tour shortcomings and make you an inhabitant of Paradise.
watching this video today, 16 July, points to Peter Obi with his words and messages to the people. We have seen MKO Abiola in Peter Obi. Let's all changes this course once and for all. This is the right time and no any other time but this.cominh election!
Ambrose Olowo what determination, to loot the country more ,he was a criminal,and his friends knew him too well , that's why they fucked him up ,boomerang,karma, seems you forgot, ITT,they made him pay for the crimes he committed on all nigerian police, and dangote will get same faith , tinubu included
The issue of ITT remains an allegation and I can't comment on what I do not know. However, even if he stole from ITT, he invested in Nigeria and established many companies and business opportunities that provided gainful employment for Nigerians. I am not sure he hid the money in any western country to help their economy and depress ours. Finally, irrespective of his past, injustice must never be condoned no matter the antecedents of the victim.
@@chimyyoungdoc519 he would have done better than the presidents we have since 1993 up to date except you are a nuisance this will be hard for you to figure out
@@ADE-of-LAGOS dangote is so rich because of your ignorance and more Nigerians like you, dangote can only flourish in a corrupt country like Nigeria, people like dangote would have been on the run if were to be a Russian under the great Putin, dangote have destroyed Nigeria economy with his fulani brethrens, monopolised every business in the country, what so u know, get sense I beg you
His core aspiration was meritorious and indigenous control of the state affairs. He really embodied independence. Would have been nice to see him in power.
the fact that this speech made some 28years ago or thereabout still resonates today, is a testament that nigeria is still being played by the same handbook by same players. anyone with an interest to lead nigeria would do well to get m.k.o's manifesto albeit very little changes and implement. Nigeria shall be great again
This was the campaign speech that got him ‘taken care of’. How dare this civilian promise and surely would do what his predecessors couldn’t do in all of the wasted years to solve Nigeria? How dare him…. That was the mindset of his eliminators… Rest On, MKO!
That he was killed even after Abacha had died shows that the "powers that be" at that time never wanted him. To some extent one could see that Abacha only acted according to the political tone of the moment/era....after all he didn't annul June 12, and he didn't kill MKO, those were the only 2 things done to him.
Omoyele Sowore is the carbon copy of MKO. Extremely intelligent, brave, determined, and vibrant. Nigerians have a second chance to get Nigeria back to her fit by voting SOWORE (#AAC PARTY). and this is the time for all this old politicians to do what is right by stepping down for Omoyele Sowore,. why because he has the same ideas and determinations like MKO had to change Nigeria. #Belivemeguys. So, let's #TAKEITBACK.
This is a business man in which we strongly believe that business men can run this country favourably to better change. This is incredible, is is not done without God's intervention.
Thamos Sankara was a visionary who was about to do might things for his country and for Africa as a whole. But they killed him, I was a little boy when MKO Abiola died . Watching this video today makes me realize that this man was another Sankara in Nigeria who would have done mighty things, but they killed him. May God help us.
It's very sad, just too sad. A country that kills anybody that stands for revolution because of their own selfish interests. May God help our beloved country NIGERIA
Wow...he was truely a man of vision. He had seen Nigeria in and out. He wanted a Nigeria for Nigerians and so sad can anyone point out someone like him today..? This was the kind of man who would have groomed future leaders in Nigeria. We as Nigerians have truely lost.
He may not be angel but atleast he had a kind heart and he was not wicked and heartless like these bunch we have now. A good heart and love for his fellow Nigerians.
Yoruba nation must stand irrespective of what it will take , we cannot continue with a murdererous union with those who has continued to engaged us in clear tactical elimination of our brilliant people like MKO, Kudirat, ige .....
Smart potential people capable of helping Nigeria have never had an opportunity lead. Where dishonesty and deception are the main obstacles, it is difficult. Not much have changed since all those years.
and this is why they made sure he never became President. I know one day they will also face their makers and answer to him/her/it. No one lives forever. God bless MKO, man of great vision.
Obviously the problem of Nigeria are the selfish power hungry northerners. Dear lord lugard, it shall never be well with your soul, the whole almagamation thing was for the interest of our colonizer
MKO Abiola remains one of the greatest minds and political icons of Nigeria. Long Live MKO.

They don't even speak, it's Just media charade & stomach infrastructure
''We are an independent republic UNDER GOD. Or aren't we?'' Africa lost a great son of the soil. Babangida, Sanni, How could you! From Nairobi, Kenya.
Brilliant man. I was privileged to have met this man when he visited my father.
You're really blessed. He remains a legend.
"in my govt, the daily export of crude and price will be published"...so they got him eliminated...crazy set of 😈
I was a bit young then so didn't know this man was this good. I think Nigeria missed the opportunity of having him as our president.
Extremely intelligent man, wish you are still here with us.
Year
May be they are scared he could make things work, where they are cheating.
This is how a prospecting President of Nigeria should be talking with sound mind.
Not like the ones we are having now...olodos every were
"The most brilliant doctor in Norway might not have treated malaria before and you bring him to Nigeria to formulate policies on health for us"
Very apt..
You fought a good fight MKO..
Rest on....
He was not a good politicians ok. He could have mellowed and come back again
He speech was awesome, he very distinguished, intelligent and level headed .
That was is death speech. Going against oil companies. And calling Nigeria an independent republic
RIP, the great, irrepressible, kind-hearted MKO! Your ghost will perpetually hunt your killers, including those among them who are dead as they glided into eternal perdition.

Same problem since 1993... Shame on Nigerian leaders. Thank You MKO
yep same problem different year
exclusively brlliant man of such i have not seen. MKO a real philanthropist
Those who killed this man MKO really cheated us as Nigerians.
Wallahi
no! he wasn't a saint. he was in bed with all the military heads of state. and helped sponsored multiple coups
The are still in control of Nigeria now
Blame susan rice
Never trust an American
If Nigeria was a serious country IBB should have been brought to book.
Exactly.... Deceiving ourselves with democracy
This interview alone reveals why the June 12 elections was annulled
Nigeria deserves better
Abiola was a blessing to our Nigeria.
Wise speech, intelligent man. The troubles is now on the ppl that denied you the mandate that ppl gave you
his solutions will still be relevant today
The president that never rule. Moshuud Kashimawo Olawale Abiola. You came and you tried your best. May Almighty Allah forgive tour shortcomings and make you an inhabitant of Paradise.

They couldn't just handle his determination to build a new Nigeria
Ambrose Olowo what determination, to loot the country more ,he was a criminal,and his friends knew him too well , that's why they fucked him up ,boomerang,karma, seems you forgot, ITT,they made him pay for the crimes he committed on all nigerian police, and dangote will get same faith , tinubu included

@@chimyyoungdoc519 he would have done better than the presidents we have since 1993 up to date except you are a nuisance this will be hard for you to figure out
@@chimyyoungdoc519 It's like saying Dangote would loot Nigeria's treasury if he become the president. Were you even of age then?
@@ADE-of-LAGOS dangote is so rich because of your ignorance and more Nigerians like you, dangote can only flourish in a corrupt country like Nigeria, people like dangote would have been on the run if were to be a Russian under the great Putin, dangote have destroyed Nigeria economy with his fulani brethrens, monopolised every business in the country, what so u know, get sense I beg you
We should repost this... 2023 election is at the concern.... These words are much needed now. Let us think
Good English with Yoruba tongue.
His core aspiration was meritorious and indigenous control of the state affairs. He really embodied independence. Would have been nice to see him in power.
More of the reasons the local and their international cohorts didn't allow him to rule. He was an embodiment of emancipation for the downtrodden .
God will definitely.. Raise another able man to rule as a nation... amen
So you think this fool would have ruled us well🤦🏾♂️
Just hearing his voice makes me angry. We place evil over good.
MKO Baba Kola, Baba Agboola, Baba Deji, rest in peace. You fought the good fight, and your name will never be forgotten.
Yar adua 2

Chai.
This man spoke whole heartedly and sincerely.
May Allah continue to bless his soul Aameen.
The best President we never had.
Aww hmm as Ghanaian I rutted for him very intelligent
This was the campaign speech that got him ‘taken care of’. How dare this civilian promise and surely would do what his predecessors couldn’t do in all of the wasted years to solve Nigeria? How dare him…. That was the mindset of his eliminators…
Rest On, MKO!
I think this is where the problem of the annulment of the June 12, 1993 election comes from. RIP baba.
That he was killed even after Abacha had died shows that the "powers that be" at that time never wanted him.
To some extent one could see that Abacha only acted according to the political tone of the moment/era....after all he didn't annul June 12, and he didn't kill MKO, those were the only 2 things done to him.
Need more videos like this please
Very brilliant a man.
Omoyele Sowore is the carbon copy of MKO. Extremely intelligent, brave, determined, and vibrant.

So, let's #TAKEITBACK.
We need to gear up and get ready to vote for SOWORE (Abiola's incarnate) come the next election
Such a great man
see leaders with vision n transparency
I see why he was killed now.
Not too much theory but very clear practical roadmap. This man was a genius abeg.
This is a business man in which we strongly believe that business men can run this country favourably to better change. This is incredible, is is not done without God's intervention.
Thamos Sankara was a visionary who was about to do might things for his country and for Africa as a whole. But they killed him, I was a little boy when MKO Abiola died .

It's very sad, just too sad. A country that kills anybody that stands for revolution because of their own selfish interests. May God help our beloved country NIGERIA
What a President Bashorun MKO Abiola would have made since he wasn't ready to be a stooge to the cabals at that time.
Primary school days, did not understand politics but I know something was happening.
Wow...he was truely a man of vision. He had seen Nigeria in and out. He wanted a Nigeria for Nigerians and so sad can anyone point out someone like him today..? This was the kind of man who would have groomed future leaders in Nigeria. We as Nigerians have truely lost.
INCREDIBLE
What a man.
Good one 👏❤
Babangida detroyed everything, in a fiew seconds.
Yes you are right
Heavy !
A national hero, A true patriot i called him 👋😀
That's the reason babangida still in pain.
Wow…. We miss him… Rest In Peace MKO!!!
Legend
Only Sowore omoyele has his kind of spirit among the present crop of politicians we have around today
Stop insulting MKO Abiola, and the nearest we can get is Peter Obi
He may not be angel but atleast he had a kind heart and he was not wicked and heartless like these bunch we have now. A good heart and love for his fellow Nigerians.
Allah ya jikan Aboila ❤️
Life is mystery.The killers gang of MKO & June 12 struggle now turn. Celebrated saviours of MKO & June 12,twenty five years after.
Who is watching with me now?
👏❤
Yoruba nation must stand irrespective of what it will take , we cannot continue with a murdererous union with those who has continued to engaged us in clear tactical elimination of our brilliant people like MKO, Kudirat, ige .....
There was indeed a country, rest on Dear president.
Wow
We are independent republic under God! That sentence hit me🤔...
A campaign speech every aspiring presidents should watch and know that Nigerians deserve better and need a forward thinking leader.
Smart potential people capable of helping Nigeria have never had an opportunity lead. Where dishonesty and deception are the main obstacles, it is difficult. Not much have changed since all those years.
May your soul rest in peace M.K.o.Abiola
OMOYELE SOWORE FOR PRESIDENT #AAC TAKE IT BACK
Now I know why MKO was killed
vote Kingsley Moghalu for president
We missed this man
We are not an Independent Republic under God sir. We are a Slave State. Unfortunately, you learned that the hard way. RIP.
And Suddenly, Babangida and Abacha cut his ticket.
Rest in Peace MKO Abiola
Rest in peace mko abiola....
We are independent under God ain’t we?!
Nicole Dudus , that was brilliant.
The president who never ruled. RIP MKO Abiola
The many ills are still here with us...
Local solutions to local problems.
A country of the corrupt by the corrupt for the corrupt.
MKO Abiola a True Hero... I think Nigeria is a cursed Nation for killings a man who has good intentions to heal a sick nation like Nigeria
The entity called "Nigeria" MUST CEASE TO EXIST...That is our only solution!!!
Until Nigeria finds a sound mind and is mentally healthy like M.K.O Abiola with justifiable intentions to move the country forward, expect no change
I see some similarities between this man and Peter Obi
I pray that GOD should forgive him all his sins and Accept him To HIS Aljonna. M.k.o Was a classical human being.
Shaving people's heads in their absence 🤔
and this is why they made sure he never became President. I know one day they will also face their makers and answer to him/her/it. No one lives forever. God bless MKO, man of great vision.
Obviously the problem of Nigeria are the selfish power hungry northerners.
Dear lord lugard, it shall never be well with your soul, the whole almagamation thing was for the interest of our colonizer
Best president we didn't had 😢
RIP
Amazing
Yet another that was killed.
The problem of Nigeria ehn
I think God has to come down and solve us o
The death of abiola was also involved by USA and UK
We are an independent republic UNDER GOD or aren't we?
This is the reason why He was not allowed His mandate and why he was killed. Nigeria's problem is not a mystery at all
M.K.O, The President Nigeria never had. It's a big loss to Nigeria and Africa.
Rest on Role model
IT'S LOOKS TO ME LIKE WE HAVE GOTTEN PASS THIS STAGE NOW. ITS A PITY.
