Babangida denies killing Abiola



Former Military President, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida has denied having a hand in the death of Chief MKO Abiola, the acclaimed winner of the famous June 12 1993 Presidential election.
Babangida said this in an interview that he received news of Abiola's death with shock but without regret.
Widespread belief is that Abiola was served with poisoned tea, but Babangida says even if the claims are true, he didn't take any part in it.
The ex-military ruler also said he will support an Igbo candidate for presidency in 2019, and that the Biafra agitations is an unneeded distraction.
