The Moshood Abiola family has said that the recently launched book by former Military President, General Ibrahim Babangida reopened old wounds.
In a statement, Kola Abiola, on behalf of the family of the late MKO Abiola, said the memoir reopened painful memories of the tragic events of the annulled election.
The Abiola family insisted that the lessons from the annulled June 12 election have not been learned.
Abiola expressed the family’s disbelief at how long it took Babangida to publicly acknowledge what the world already knew, stressing that after thirty-two years, the military has reopened old wounds.
Kola Abiola noted that the significance of the June 12 election extended beyond just his family, stressing that many other families were directly impacted by the annulment, and numerous lives were lost in its aftermath.
