Tinubu Attends MKO Documentary Premiere on June 12 Struggle
On October 2, 2026, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his wife, Oluremi Tinubu, attended the national premiere of "MKO," a documentary focused on the life and political struggle of the late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola. This event was part of Nigeria's 66th Independence Anniversary celebrations and took place at the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts.
The documentary, produced by US-based filmmaker Ose Oyamendan, details the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election and the ensuing pro-democracy struggle. The premiere was attended by several dignitaries, including Senate President Godswill Akpabio and House Speaker Tajudeen Abbas.
Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, honored those who suffered during the struggle for democracy, while Minister Hannatu Musa Musawa highlighted Abiola's ordeal, including his arrest and death in detention.
