Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate for the Labour Party, has responded to former Head of State General Ibrahim Babangida’s recent admission regarding the annulment of the June 12, 1993, presidential election. At an event on February 20, 2025, Babangida acknowledged that the late Chief MKO Abiola won the election and took responsibility for its annulment, describing it as Nigeria’s most credible and fair poll at the time.

In his reaction, Obi described Babangida’s confession as “a step toward national healing, unity, and progress.” He expressed hope that other key figures in Nigeria’s democratic history would find the courage to recognize the true winners of past elections, allowing the nation to reflect honestly on its history.

It’s worth noting that in the past, allegations have surfaced regarding Obi’s involvement with the Association for a Better Nigeria (ABN), a group that played a role in the events leading up to the annulment of the June 12 election. However, Obi has denied these claims, stating that he was not part of the ABN and was focused on his business activities during that period.
