President Tinubu Premieres Documentary on MKO Abiola
On October 1, 2026, President Tinubu attended the national premiere of the documentary "MKO" at the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and the Creative Arts in Lagos. Directed by Nigerian-American filmmaker Ose Oyamendan, the documentary chronicles the life, political journey, and legacy of the late Chief Moshood Abiola, particularly highlighting the June 12, 1993 presidential election, its annulment, and the subsequent pro-democracy struggle.
The film features archival materials and first-hand accounts from key figures associated with that period. The documentary had its international premiere earlier in June 2026 at the Sheffield International Documentary Festival in the United Kingdom.
Following the premiere in Lagos, "MKO" is scheduled for nationwide cinema release on October 2, 2026. The event was attended by notable dignitaries, including the First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and various state governors.
