President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday formally unveiled the renamed National Stadium in Abuja as Moshood Abiola Stadium. Buhari, who renamed the national monument two years ago, was represented by FCT Minister Muhammed Musa Bello.
The ceremony was witnessed by Abiola’s first son, Kola and several other ministers.
They are the Sports minister, Sunday Dare, Minister of Industries, Otunba Niyi Adebayo and Minister of State for Labour, Festus Keyamo.
The formal renaming of the stadium coincided with the 27th anniversary of the election that Abiola famously won, but which was annulled by the military junta led by Ibrahim Babangida.
Dare appreciated President Buhari for demonstrating courage in recognising June 12 as a public holiday and also honouring the winner of the election described as watershed in Nigeria’s political history.
Buhari in 2018, also bestowed the nation’s highest honour, Grand Commander of the Federal Republic on Abiola.
Abiola was a consummate sports lover. He invested his time and resources in sports development particularly football. Not many sports administrators will forget Abiola In a hurry.
Dare used the occasion to appreciate other Nigerians who have been supporting sports like MKO Abiola.
Under this dispensation we have seen Alhaji Aliko Dangote and Chief Adebutu Kessington step up to the plate to support the government of President Muhammadu Buhari in the quest to restore our sporting infrastructure such as this.

MKO Abiola was the richest Nigeria man in his time; if not the richest in Africa. I stand to be corrected.
Now, I know why Aliko Dangote is not interested in Nigeria politics
