Chief Olu Falae, the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), on Thursday, said there was nothing new in what former Military President, General Ibrahim Babangida’s recent remarks about the June 12, 1993 presidential election.
Falae, while reacting to IBB’s memoir, which confirmed that MKO Abiola won the election, he said that he was jailed for two years for fighting to uphold Abiola’s mandate.
He said: “We formed NADECO to fight for the Abiola’s mandate who won the election and should be declared president. I was detained for two years for fighting that cause.
We gave the military an ultimatum to hand over Abiola’s mandate, but they started arresting us. I was kept in detention for two years.
What he said is nothing new—we have always known and believed that Abiola won the election.”
