The late Chief MKO Abiola’s family has requested the Nigerian government to execute the late politician’s manifesto.Murtala Abiola, the head of the Abiola Family, made the call on Sunday, June 12 while addressing  newsmen during the annual prayer session for late MKO Abiola, the putative winner of the annulled 1993 presidential election held at the family property of Gbagura, Abeokuta.

According to him, implementing the manifesto will make life easy for Nigerians and put a stop to poverty and misery in the country.

He said, “Nigeria’s money belongs to all Nigerians, whether Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba. And everyone must benefit from it.

“That’s why in MKO Abiola’s manifesto, there is a provision that allowances should be given to students and the unemployed Nigerians.

“As an older man, If I leave Nigeria tonight, and I get to the US, they will take me to an old people’s home. They will take care of me medically, feeding and all that. Even if I die and nobody claims my corpse, they will take care of the funeral.

“All these programs should be made accessible in Nigeria. We all travel abroad and see what is obtainable there, but when we return home, we find it difficult to replicate it.

“All the funds end up in their (referring to the political class) pockets. The money will finish, and he, who is keeping the money, will finish.”
