When will MKO Abiola die?

Buried 25 years ago, Chief Moshood Kashimowo Olawale Abiola has justifiably refused to bow to death in submission to its superiority over the living.
His untiring and irrepressible spirit has defied every entreaty and dammed every pacification following the annulment of June 12th Presidential election in which he came out triumphant without recognition by the state.
In MKO, death has died and every string of injustice shattered. The Berlin wall once again has fallen like a pack of cards in Africa.
The deceased President-elect has conquered death; shattered its wings and blew its strength into a pulp following president Muhammadu Buhari’s recent recognition of that truncated venture.
Of a fact, there comes a time in the life of a country when death loses its fangs on certain elements and individuals of such society.
Chief MKO is a symbolic representation of such entity as he has sunk deep into the entrenched unfairness the country emersed itself into since its independence in 1960.
His crime was merely winning an election in exercise of his constitutional rights as enshrined in the country’s legal framework.
The consequences of this venture were heartrending and heartbreaking as the Level of injustices visited on MKO was to say the least, horrific.
Abiola lost his wife, Kudirat, after she was shot at a close range in Ikeja by agents of the annulment for continually demanding the validation of the June 12, 1993 election and recognition of her husband as the winner.
Abiola himself died in detention on July 7, 1998; having lost his freedom to incarceration.
His business conglomerate was not spared either as his oil block licences were revoked; his Concord Airline, Summit Oil International and African Shipping Line and the almighty National Concord, the newspaper he founded were all grounded (courtesy of Sani Abacha).
This is where one begins to question the kind of system we are bequeathed with in a country that prides itself as the giant of Africa and beacon of hope in the same continent.
But How can a society that resist its own prosper and develop beyond its nose, especially in this age of intellectual boom? There is a saying that “a society that consciously throws its bests away should expect a vicious circle.”
In a decscerning society, MKO could have (long before now) been idolized, Immortalized and recognized for what he duely and constitutionally represents; instead of the life of denial we live here.
MKO deserves his entitlements as a president we never had because of poor decisions. He deserves all the privileges accorded former leaders of the country and his portrait needs to be hanged, along with his peers at the presidential villa With urgency.
Nigeria really has a decision to make as regards chief MKO and it must not shy away from this especially now that President Buhari has shown the way.
With this done, Chief Abiola who has been lowered down the grave 25 years ago, can no longer die; as he is already etched in the heart of every lover of justice across the world.
