The 1993 presidential election was annulled as a result of the dispute between former Head of State Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, IBB, and MKO Abiola, according to revelations made by Nigerian Afrobeat musician Seun Kuti.
Seun Kuti asserted that Babangida and Abiola’s quarrel over money was the reason the election was cancelled.
Abiola ran for president in 1993 as a member of the Social Democratic Party, SDP.
IBB cancelled the poll even though Abiola was the overwhelming favourite to win the election.
Abiola was taken into custody and imprisoned after the annulment.
However, Kuti, in an Instagram Live said: “When Yomi Johnson killed Samuel Doe, he ran to Nigeria. Doe was supported to come to Nigeria then.
“There were rumors back then that Samuel Doe’s money caused a fight between IBB and Abiola, this made the former Head of State refuse to give him the presidency.”
Seun Kuti also revealed that Dele Giwa’s effort to expose a wealthy Nigerian drug dealer led to his death.
He added: “It was alleged that Dele Giwa was about to expose a big man in Nigeria for selling drugs. The best hard drugs in this Lagos are sold in Island, children of the rich are selling it.
“What killed Dele Giwa then? How many musicians, actors have been caught over their connection to hard drugs before the advent of Yahoo? Many people in this country are compromised in this drug dealing business.”
