Former Jigawa State Governor, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to pay the ₦45 billion that the Federal Government allegedly owes the late Chief MKO Abiola.

Lamido made the call during the public launch of his book, “Being True To Myself, held in Abuja on Tuesday.Lamido, MKO Abiola and President Tinubu

He said that settling the debt would serve as a step towards closing the chapter on the June 12, 1993, presidential election.

Referencing disclosures by former military president Ibrahim Babangida, Lamido said, “Abiola won the election. I went to see IBB, and he told me Abiola is being owed ₦45 billion. He suffered twice — denied his mandate and left unpaid.”

Speaking to the Minister of Information, who represented the President at the event, Lamido urged him to deliver a direct message: “Please tell Tinubu to pay the ₦45 billion owed to Abiola’s family. That payment would mark a symbolic closure to the June 12 story. It’s important.”

Lamido also acknowledged former President Olusegun Obasanjo, describing him as his “boss, guide, and inspiration,” while also praising General Abdulsalami Abubakar for his integrity and service.

The event drew a high-profile audience, including the Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, former Vice Presidents, Alh. Atiku Abubakar, Namadi Sambo, former Senate Presidents, David Mark, Ken Nnamani, 2023 Labour Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, former governor of Sokoto State, Waziri Tambuwal, former PDP National Chairman Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, amongst others.
