Abdul, one of the sons of the late Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola (MKO Abiola), has stated that his elder brother and MKO’s first son, Kola Abiola, who could not manage their father’s legacy is on a frolic for contemplating to govern Nigeria. He believes that Nigerians were right to have ignored his political comedy of aspiring to contest for the presidency in the 2023 presidential election.
Abdul cast serious doubts on Kola Abiola’s ability during an interview on a podcast show, Mic On on Sunday.
According to Abdul, Kola failed woefully in his duty to keep Abiola’s chains of business running.
Recall that Kola contested for the presidency on the platform of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) in 2023.
However, Abdul lamented Kola’s inability to sustain Abiola’s political legacy and unite the family.
Abdul said, “MKO Abiola’s legacy would have been properly sustained if Kola was in a better position. And he could have been a voice of better democratic values, but he chose not to.
“During the time my father was still in jail, he was busy (with other things). It’s sad, but I’m a little pleased that my father didn’t come out to see what his first son has become.
“I’m unhappy with him (Kola Abiola), and even Nigerians are unhappy. You can see how many people voted for him when he campaigned for the presidency.
“I wondered how he thought he could be president when he could not manage Abiola’s empire. How will he manage Nigeria?
“This is the problem in Nigeria: people are not showing capacity in their own little sphere of work but want a higher position.”
