Former President Olusegun Obasanjo  on Sunday lamented the annulment of June 12, 1993, Presidential election presumably won by late philanthropist, Chief Moshood Kashimawo Abiola, blaming the annulment on “bad belle.”
Obasanjo said the annulment robbed Egbaland and Ogun State the rare privilege of having three of its prominent sons occupying the number one leadership position in the country at different times till date since independence.
Chief Obasanjo spoke at the 46th President Party of Abeokuta Club held on Sunday in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
The elder statesman who was referring to former Head of Interim National Government(ING), Chief Ernest Shonekan, himself who governed the country first as a military Head of States and a civilian president, noted that Abiola would have become the third, if 1993 poll was not annulled.
