President Muhammadu Buhari has officially made MKO Abiola, the presumed winner of the June 12, 1993, Presidential election Grand Commander of the Federal Republic.
The conferment of the honour on the late Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola comes 25 years after the election, which is recognised as the freest in the country’s history.
It comes almost 20 years after Abiola died in detention after being jailed by military dictator General Sani Abacha for trying to claim his mandate.
MKO Abiola's son received the title on his behalf.
