20 years after; the controversial death of late Chief MKO Abiola on July 7, 1998, during a visit of the United State assistant secretary of state for African Affairs, Susan Rice and a CIA agent, Thomas Pickering, who is said to be good in "undercover activities", is finally getting clearer.
From what OluFamous.Com gathered, a correspondent of Leadership got in touch with the American lady, Susan Rice, through mail and for the first time, after ignoring the media for several years on this matter, she reacted. Below is what transpired in the mail exchange:
Ambassador Susan Rice, reacting to a mail from Leadership has said that she will not make any comment on what transpired during the last moments of Chief Abiola, "for personal reasons".
Leadership had sought her comment over what happened before the late business mogul started gasping for breath after taking a cup of tea that was served him by Suzan Rice. But after waiting for another three hours and no response was forthcoming, Leadership called Rice’s number and her secretary said that she would not be making any comments on the matter.
Also, former US ambassador to Nigeria who also visited late Abiola on the day he died, Thomas Pickering, declined to make comments when Leadership sent him an electronic mail.
Pickering’s aides at his Woodrow Institute office, who refused to mention his name to Leadership during a telephone chat, initially promised to get a comment from him but later said that the former US ambassador would not like to speak on the issue "due to security reasons".
Leadership made another effort to get the reactions of Susan Rice. When her office in the UN was called, the secretary of the United States Mission in New York, Ms Harrera Kathleen, said she was not ready to partake in a telephone interview that had been earlier suggested.
How can these people bring a "special tea" for Abiola and few hours later he was stone dead and they are saying we can't talk for personal and security reasons? Where in the world do high profile government men and women take tea to 'political prisoners'? Why is the Nigerian government silent on this issue!?
I hope you guys can read between the lines...
Olu there's something our govt has buried just to keep this country united. If the truth be told it would compromise national security and split the country immediately.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing to read between the lines. Abiola is dead and gone away. Abiola was selfish and had nothing to offer Nigerians. Enough of these Abiola nonsense.

Mr Dike,can't see you are also selfish for saying such thing to about Abiola.........I just wonder why some people cannot keep their mouth mute if they don't have something reasonable to say.

DeleteOLU U SAID NIGERIA GOVT, BE SPECIFIC. IT IS NOT GEJ ADMINISTRATION KILL MKO. WHY FORCING THE GOVERNMENT TO DIG WHAT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THE SO CALLED YORUBA LEADER THAT GAVE THEIR OWN TO BE KILLED ARE STILL ALIVE ACCORDING TO ALMUSTAPHA TESTIMONY IN COURT. LET THEIR PEOPLE ASK THEM WHAT HAPPENED TO MKO.
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong is wrong. If I have a way of exposing the bastards and bringing them to justice, I will do it. And come to think of it: the present political mess is as a result of the June 12 annulment. The issue is not whether Abiola was good or bad. The issue is that the entire nation was denied its right to have the person it had chosen to be its president.
ReplyDeletenice one orfega..
DeleteHmmmmmmmm.
ReplyDelete-Enough of this Abiola bullshit! Millions of Ibos where slaughtered in cold blood before and during the civil war and nobody talked.
ReplyDelete-No Ibo has been allowed to rule this country again.You all sit here and groan over Abiola every year,a political thief involved in alot of scams in the 70's and 80's.
MKO may your sweet soul continue to rest! This is what fuels the mind of the idle.....CONSPIRACY THEORIES.
ReplyDeleteLets be sensitive and let our words be seasoned regardless because every person is worth something to someone. MKO was a dad, a husband,brother and friend to many who loved and cherished him regardless of what he did or did not do for Nigeria or who died or did not die,
To result to personal abuse is foolish and childish! That said, come on folks....you guys never get tired?
Enough of this tea and Susan Rice Foolishness!
