Reports have it that the eldest son of the late MKO Abiola, presumed winner of the June 12, 1993, Presidential Election has finally joined politics.
This is coming days after Kola’s sister, Hafsat Abiola was criticized for comparing the late MKO Abiola to the governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello.
Kola Abiola who just joined the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) disclosed his goal as a politician and plans for Nigeria when he was received at the party’s secretariat in Abuja by the party’s national chairman identified as Falalu Bello.
According to Kola’s statement, he said “today makes my formal inroad after, 27 years, back into politics.
“I particularly picked to come back into politics through the PRP for some good reasons.
“I have gone back to the history of Nigeria to look at the party that truly represents Nigeria.
“I have gone back and I have found out that the oldest living party is the PRP; it still holds those ideals of what Nigeria and democratic practice should be like.
“I have come back to PRP to show Nigerians that not too long ago, we did things in the right way and the new entities that have come together nowadays forget that there was Nigeria that did things right.
“I am one that believes in an equal opportunity be it employment, be it business, equally in politics and I believe this party represents all of these.
“Everybody should have equal opportunity, irrespective of age, religion and ethnicity and that is represented here,”
