A new book by veteran pro-democracy activist and former spokesman of the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), Ayo Opadokun, has reopened painful national conversations over the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election.
The new work named prominent politicians, military officers and public figures alleged to have backed the cancellation of the historic poll won by late business mogul, Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola.
The 509-page book, The NADECO Story, chronicles the formation, underground operations, betrayals and eventual triumph of the pro-democracy struggle against successive military regimes led by Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida and the late General Sani Abacha.
