After 32 long years, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) has finally admitted that the late Chief Moshood Abiola (MKO) indeed won the June 12 presidential election. This revelation came to light through his autobiography, “A Journey in Service”, launched in Abuja yesterday. According to IBB, Abiola satisfied all the requirements to become president, having secured the majority of votes with geographical spread. This admission was conveyed through former Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, who was one of the book reviewers.
IBB described the annulment of the June 12 election as the most challenging aspect of his life. However, he expressed happiness that President Muhammadu Buhari has acknowledged Abiola’s victory and honored him with the prestigious title of Grand Commander of the Federal Republic (GCFR), reserved for presidents.
This long-overdue admission sheds new light on Nigeria’s history and provides closure for the family and supporters of MKO Abiola. As the nation continues to heal from past wounds, IBB’s confession serves as a reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability in governance.

Lastly, Brooom Nigeria believes the story itself is a significant development, as the autobiography reveals IBB’s open wound and ultimate regret over his decision to annul the June 12, 1993 election. His admission that MKO Abiola won the election and satisfied all the requirements to become president is a testament to the enduring legacy of June 12 struggle as a symbol of our democracy.
