MKO Abiola remains one of the greatest minds and political icons of Nigeria. Long Live MKO.

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!

''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.

"in my govt, the daily export of crude and price will be published"...so they got him eliminated...crazy set of 😈

Extremely intelligent man, wish you are still here with us.

He speech was awesome, he very distinguished, intelligent and level headed .

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.

"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....

Those who killed this man MKO really cheated us as Nigerians.

That was is death speech. Going against oil companies. And calling Nigeria an independent republic

This is how a prospecting President of Nigeria should be talking with sound mind.

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)

Same problem since 1993... Shame on Nigerian leaders. Thank You MKO

exclusively brlliant man of such i have not seen. MKO a real philanthropist

If Nigeria was a serious country IBB should have been brought to book.

This interview alone reveals why the June 12 elections was annulled Nigeria deserves better

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

Abiola was a blessing to our Nigeria.

They couldn't just handle his determination to build a new Nigeria

We should repost this... 2023 election is at the concern.... These words are much needed now. Let us think

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!

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.

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

MKO Baba Kola, Baba Agboola, Baba Deji, rest in peace. You fought the good fight, and your name will never be forgotten.

God will definitely.. Raise another able man to rule as a nation... amen

Aww hmm as Ghanaian I rutted for him very intelligent

I think this is where the problem of the annulment of the June 12, 1993 election comes from. RIP baba.

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!

Just hearing his voice makes me angry. We place evil over good.

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

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.

Good English with Yoruba tongue.

Very brilliant a man.

Chai. This man spoke whole heartedly and sincerely.

May Allah continue to bless his soul Aameen. The best President we never had.

see leaders with vision n transparency

Not too much theory but very clear practical roadmap. This man was a genius abeg.

I see why he was killed now.

Such a great man

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.

A national hero, A true patriot i called him 👋😀

Primary school days, did not understand politics but I know something was happening.

What a man.

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.

Wow…. We miss him… Rest In Peace MKO!!!

What a President Bashorun MKO Abiola would have made since he wasn't ready to be a stooge to the cabals at that time.

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.

Babangida detroyed everything, in a fiew seconds.

INCREDIBLE

Allah ya jikan Aboila ❤️

Only Sowore omoyele has his kind of spirit among the present crop of politicians we have around today

Good one 👏❤

Heavy !

That's the reason babangida still in pain.

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.

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.

Life is mystery.The killers gang of MKO & June 12 struggle now turn. Celebrated saviours of MKO & June 12,twenty five years after.

Legend

There was indeed a country, rest on Dear president.

We are independent republic under God! That sentence hit me🤔...

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 .....

May your soul rest in peace M.K.o.Abiola

Who is watching with me now?

A campaign speech every aspiring presidents should watch and know that Nigerians deserve better and need a forward thinking leader.

A country of the corrupt by the corrupt for the corrupt.

We are independent under God ain’t we?!

We missed this man

OMOYELE SOWORE FOR PRESIDENT #AAC TAKE IT BACK

Wow

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

Rest in Peace MKO Abiola

👏❤

The president who never ruled. RIP MKO Abiola

The entity called "Nigeria" MUST CEASE TO EXIST...That is our only solution!!!

The many ills are still here with us... Local solutions to local problems.

And Suddenly, Babangida and Abacha cut his ticket.

We are not an Independent Republic under God sir. We are a Slave State. Unfortunately, you learned that the hard way. RIP.

Now I know why MKO was killed

Rest in peace mko abiola....

I pray that GOD should forgive him all his sins and Accept him To HIS Aljonna. M.k.o Was a classical human being.

vote Kingsley Moghalu for president

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

Amazing Yet another that was killed. The problem of Nigeria ehn I think God has to come down and solve us o

I see some similarities between this man and Peter Obi

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.

Sowore for president

Rest on Role model

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

IT'S LOOKS TO ME LIKE WE HAVE GOTTEN PASS THIS STAGE NOW. ITS A PITY.

RIP

Best president we didn't had 😢

Shaving people's heads in their absence 🤔

The death of abiola was also involved by USA and UK

M.K.O, The President Nigeria never had. It's a big loss to Nigeria and Africa.

This is one of the speech that killed him probably... This man didn't come to joke.... All the things he said here are core problems of Nigeria and why Nigeria is where it is today
