Abiola can’t be declared President – Agoro

Presidential aspirant and National Chairman of National Action Council (NAC), Dr.
Olapade Agoro, has kicked against the call by the Senate that the late presumed winner of the 1993 annulled Presidential election, Chief Moshood Kasimawo Olawale Abiola, be declared as exPresident of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Dr Agoro, in a statement issued in Ibadan over the weekend.
said doing so will not only be wrong but amount to legality of illegality and against the Nigeria constitution.
The NAC National Chairman maintained that the late Chief Abiola, though presumed to be the winner of the June 12th 1993 Presidential election, he was not officially declared as the winner of the election and not sworn in as President.
According to Dr Agoro, the June 12th 1993 election “ended inconclusively and with no actual declared winner”, hence it will be wrong for President Muhammadu Buhari to declare Abiola as exPresident of Nigeria.
“The fact and reality of the matter must be faced by all of us, hate it or like it, pure and simple, the June 12th Presidential election ended inconclusively and with no actual declared winner”, he said.
Dr Agoro noted that since Chief MKO Abiola was not declared as the winner of the election and not sworn into office as President and Commander-In-Chief of Federal Republic of Nigeria, it is illegal for Buhari to declare him as exPresident, saying, “M.K.O.
Abiola was not officially declared as the winner of the June 12 election and was therefore not officially sworn into office as President and Commander-In-Chief of Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“ “The honour done to award him the GCFR title was no doubt in recognition of the highest price MKO Abiola paid by laying down his precious life for the cause of democracy in Nigeria.
“ adding that “it will therefore be stupid for anybody or group of people to be lured into the game of deceivers aimed at catching the South West peoples
