Your acknowledgment that Moshood Abiola won the presidential election on June 12, 1993, holds immense importance for us the Yoruba people, as it validates our long-held belief that Abiola’s mandate was unjustly denied. This acknowledgment serves as a testament to the power of truth and accountability, and it is a crucial step toward reconciliation and national unity.
By confirming Abiola’s victory, you have also honored the memories of those who fought tirelessly for democracy and human rights during that tumultuous period. Your declaration is a tribute to the sacrifices made by Abiola, his family, and countless Nigerians who stood up against injustice.
Once again, we commend your courage and commitment to setting the record straight. Your actions have contributed significantly to the ongoing efforts to strengthen our democracy and promote national reconciliation.
The S.A. Ajayi Foundation fondly remembers the dual-way patriotic relationship that flourished between His Excellency Ibrahim Babangida and H.E. Chief S.A. Ajayi OFR, a founding father of our nation. Together, they exemplified unwavering dedication to national development and progress.
We look forward to the insights and reflections shared within these pages, which will undoubtedly inspire and educate future generations.
Once again, congratulations on this significant achievement. May this work open doors for further dialogue and understanding as we continue to build a brighter future for Nigeria.
THE S.A AJAYI FOUNDATION
