article FULL ARTICLE

Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, (born August 24, 1937, Abeokuta,
Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria—died July 7, 1998, Abuja, Nigeria),
Nigerian business executive, philanthropist, and politician who is hailed as a
figure of democratic change in Nigeria.

Born:
August 24, 1937 •
Abeokuta •
Nigeria

Died:
July 7, 1998 (aged 60) •
Abuja •
Nigeria
Abiola was born and raised in poverty but was a hard worker and a bright
student. He attended the University of Glasgow, Scotland, on scholarship,
graduating in 1963. He then studied at the Institute of Chartered Accountants,
also in Scotland, graduating in 1965. Abiola began working for ITT Nigeria in
1968; by 1971 he was its chief executive and chairman, posts he held until
1988. During that time he amassed an immense private fortune and became
owner of a publishing house, a newspaper syndicate, and an airline, among
other enterprises. He was voted International Businessman of the Year in
1988. Abiola made generous donations for building schools, mosques,
churches, libraries, and various development projects across Nigeria and
became a popular public figure. He also supported liberation movements in
southern Africa and campaigns for reparations for slavery.

After nearly a decade of military rule, democratic elections were held in

Nigeria on June 12, 1993. Abiola ran as the presidential candidate of the Social
Democratic Party in a two-party race. Observers declared the election to have
been the freest and fairest in Nigerian history. Initial results indicated that
Abiola, who had garnered votes across ethnic and religious divides, would be
the clear winner of the election. Before the official results were announced,
however, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, the military leader, annulled the election.
This provoked a political crisis. Abiola rallied domestic and international
support in claiming the presidency that he appeared to have won, which led to
his 1994 arrest on a charge of treason by the military regime then led by Gen.
Sani Abacha.

During his imprisonment Abiola was deprived of outside news and subjected
to solitary confinement and abuse that included negligent medical care. His
release seemed imminent following the death of General Abacha in June 1998.
However, Abiola died suddenly under mysterious circumstances, arousing
suspicions of foul play, although a heart attack was officially declared to be the
cause of death.

Many areas in southwestern Nigeria have since observed June 12 as a day on

which to commemorate Abiola as well as remember the election that was held
on that day in 1993 and its significance as a symbol of democracy.
