Falana spoke on Tuesday at an event organised by Osun State civil society coalition in commemoration of June 12, 1993 presidential election.
He said, “If President Hosni Mubarak could go to jail and other corrupt leaders in Asia and North Africa, it is a pointer that former President Obasanjo will go to jail.”
Falana said Obasanjo was richer when he ended his presidential tenure than when he assumed presidency, stressing the need to probe the former helmsman.
He added that it was illegal for retired military rulers such as Gen Yakabu Gowon, Gen Ibrahim Babangida, and Gen Abubakar Abdulsalami, to attend the Council of State meetings.
An activist, Ayo Opadokun, who delivered a speech on, ‘Regionalism and Federalism: Panacea for Nigeria’s Underdevelopment’, advocated true federalism as a way out of Nigeria’s numerous problems.
Another activist, Bola Ilori, said Abiola should not be seen as a sectional leader.
A local government administrator, Dr. Oyebade Olowogboyega, delivered a paper entitled, ‘Conducting credible elections in Nigeria against the background of growing insecurity and corruption challenges’.
Olowogboyega called for the establishment of state police and stressed the need for an urgent amendment of the country’s constitution.
Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, called on the Federal Government to declare the result of the June 12, 1993 presidential election and pronounce Abiola the official winner.
Aregbesola said Abiola must be accorded post humous rights of an elected president, adding that it was in doing this that the late politician’s name would be immortalised. pls you can share with loved ones.Thanks.
