This is such a terrible lie Gimba. The 1993 election violence was called Oso Abiola for a reason. Igbos were the victims. And I know you know better.
When IBB annulled the 1993 election, the Hausa community in the Southwest paid the price. It didn’t matter that northerners rejected their brother, Bashir Tofa, to elect Abiola. When Abiola died in 1998, northerners were blamed and killed in the Southwest. This madness must stop.
