Chief MKO Abiola's running mate in 1993 presidential election, Babagana Kingibe, has explained why he abandoned the mandate given to them following the election's annulment.
Kingibe made this known to journalists on Sunday in Maiduguri, Borno State, during a visit to the state Governor, Babagana Umara."I know we won the elections on June 12, 1993, I know that injustice was done when those elections were annulled but there is always one guiding principle in my public life which is that the national interest supersedes any other consideration and all my actions have been informed by this consciousness of what is best in the national interest.
"I don't think the celebration on the actual 12th of June 1993 was any greater than the celebration of the first democracy day on June 12; And for that I have to thank the Governor who gave the leadership, thank the people of Borno not only for celebrating June 12 as democracy day per se, but I know that they also had in mind that one of their own, their own son was also a critical player, I appreciate the confidence and love.
Kingibe went on to serve in the regime of the late dictator, Gen. Sani Abacha amidst hue and cry from pro-June 12 advocates.
Wrong statement kingibe just posted. What does he mean?
Which national interest did Abacha possess? Traitor!
Always in pursuit of personal interest no wonder he was booted out as secretary to federal government under Yar'adua
Shameful talk...he should have just kept quiet
Traitor finally let the cat out of the bag
Personal interests you mean. Or would you rather be called a houseboy
Like seriously😯😯
This guy was MKO 's running mate Fffsss
Personal interest above national interest simply put !
Confession of a coward. Who was blindfolded with tribalism, fear, and title. Too late to confess under the roof of guilty conscience.
Simply put... SELFISH interest supercede MKO's Mandate
Kingibe is a traitor 🤔
So Abiola's death was in national interest? Says alot about this 'national interest'
Keep on abusing northern leaders because Buhari have giving you people every thing we know that all this that is happening is for your interest
Bullshit
