Kudirat Abiola
By Henry Obetta
LAGOS — Prominent pro-democracy activists, Hafsat Abiola, President of the Kudirat Initiative for Democracy (KIND), and Joe Okei-Odumakin, President of Women Arise, have called on Nigerians to re-organise and recommit to building a democratic system that reflects citizens’ aspirations.
In a joint statement titled “Alhaja Kudirat Abiola: 30 Years After”, the activists reflected on the legacy and sacrifice of Kudirat Abiola, who was assassinated in 1996 during the struggle for the restoration of democracy in Nigeria.
