Abdulmumuni Abiola, son of MKO Abiola, has said Nigeria is still grappling with some of the issues that were identified in 1993.

Abiola made this remark on Friday when he appeared as a guest in an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show’.

He was speaking on Nigeria’s 27th anniversary of uninterrupted democracy.

“After a successive democratic government, we are still basically in the same position we were when we started. We are not necessarily saying we don’t like the democracy we are in, but we are only saying it has not been a representative one.

“The fact is that some of the issues that were identified in 1993 are still with us today, and I think that’s what the issue is.

“So, I think what we have in Nigeria today is a situation where we have people in the country, but nobody is actually coming out to express their own voices, like to speak to the government,” he said.
