Leader of the June 12 movement, Frank Kokori has stated that President Buhari is the least person he expected would decide to honour late chief MKO Abiola, winner of the 1993 election.

This, Kokori said today while at the investiture of Abiola with the honour of Grand Commander of the Federal Republic (GCFR) in Abuja

“If this is coming 25 years later, it means one day your country will remember you because some of us felt when we came out of Abacha’s gulag and we were not recognized, I just felt what sort of country is this,” he said.

“Like my personal experience as one of the most famous prisoners of conscience in the world, I saw that my country did not even appreciate the four years I spent in one of the worst cells in the world. And we did all these for our country and the country did not recognize us.

“So, now we are happy and we are very grateful to our president, the least president we expected who should have done this, Muhammadu Buhari.

“We thought people like Obasanjo should have done that for us long time ago. There was so much pressure, Muhammadu Buhari; we least expected it. So in doing it for us, he has a great soul and we appreciate it.”
