A former aide to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Akin Osuntokun, has described the inability of his former boss to honour MKO Abiola as “a lapse”.
Osuntokun stated this on Monday on Channels Television.
“Personally, I think that it was a lapse on the former president’s part that they didn’t honour Abiola,” he said.
Osuntokun, however, faulted the remarks made by President Muhammadu Buhari, in an interview in 1999 on the late Abiola.
“Anybody who wanted to rehabilitate June 12, you do not then reduce it. You are trivializing it by one person’s deeds.
