Kola Abiola, the son of the late MKO Abiola, has declared that he will win the 2023 election by repeating his father’s June 12, 1993 election.
He stated this on Saturday during the funeral service of Prof. David Bamgbose, former Ogun governorship candidate of the party.
Speaking with newsmen, Abiola vowed to adopt the grassroots approach and pursue a recruitment drive that “will change the face of politics in Nigeria.”
According to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), he was out to disrupt the process and win next year’s election.
He explained that at 28 years, he led the campaign planning and execution that earned his late father “victory” during the controversial 1993 election.
“I am going to win, Insha Allah. I have no doubt. You see, we are always used to having things done in a particular way. We don’t do things in a particular way here. We are out to disrupt the process.
“If we run it the way it is run, we will never win, but if we run it my way, there is no doubt. And that’s what happened in 1992-1993.
“I ran that election from top to bottom. I did the planning, I did the execution, I did everything. All those jingles, if you remember, I did it,” he added.
