Kola Abiola, who ventured into politics by running for the presidency under the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) in 2023, has faced scrutiny from his brother Abdul. According to a report by the Daily Post, Abdul lamented Kola’s inability to maintain their father’s political legacy and unify the family.
In a candid discussion on Seun Okinbaloye’s podcast, “Mic On,” Abdul stated that MKO Abiola’s legacy would have been better preserved if Kola had embodied the democratic values their father championed. He expressed disappointment that Kola chose a different path, which, in Abdul’s view, has not honored their father’s legacy.
Abdul also disclosed troubling aspects of Kola’s past, including his relationship with Babangida’s daughter during their father’s imprisonment.
