MY FATHER MARRIED 30 WIVES – MKO ABIOLA’S SON SPEAKS ON HIS WILL

Abdul Mumuni, one of the sons of late MKO Abiola has made revelations into some of the late politician’s family secrets.

Speaking in a video which has gone viral on social media, he talked about his late father’s Will.

Abdul shed light on how his father arranged cash payments for all his over 30 wives, adding that the first wife, Simbiat, got £300,000.

Abdul narrated how Kola and Wuraola Abiola, two of his brothers, acting as self appointed directors, have lifted over 600,000 barrels of oil from their late father’s oil block and neither he nor the other siblings collected any money from the proceeds of the deal.

He detailed how Kola Abiola and his full siblings have allegedly been managing the Abiola Estate like his personal property and none of their other half siblings have ever been consulted.

“Basically, you know, for me, I think every time I do one of these interviews, it’s not necessarily about today, but about what tomorrow could be,” he said.

Asked about his father’s Will, Abdul said, “Like with everything my father did, he was very meticulous in his outlook and approach to everything.

“You know, he was an accountant by trade, as matter of fact, an auditor. And if anybody knows anything about auditors, you know that they’re the one group of accountants that people don’t like, because what they do is they check other people’s work.

“So my father, being an auditor and being an accountant, was very meticulous in everything he did. So, you know, at the time of his passing in 1990s you have to understand that he had been arrested in 94 and he was later on assassinated in 98 and once he was assassinated, you know, my father had a Will and last testimony, you know, and it was very detailed piece of document.

“It was a very detailed piece of document, because what you see, if anybody was to look at the document a little, the document is actually available online, if anybody wanted to check whatever father had put in his Will, what you see is a man who was deliberate, who wanted to ensure that his wealth was divided properly according to his wishes.

“You’ll see that he had specified the wives and the exact amount of money that should be apportioned to each wife.

“He did that basically, what was due the first wife was about $300,000. My mother was apportioned about $150,000 and the third wife was to take about, I think 100,000, just like that.

“And he went down like that. He went to the point that, after he had accounted for all the wives, I think about maybe 30 wives identified, he also accounted for his siblings.

“It was what my father had, if you know, you know, he had a bunch, he had a lot of wives. But then you have to understand that it was also not something that was frowned upon at the time, in the 20th century.

“And so, yeah, so he had 30 wives, and he also identified some of his siblings, and also apportioned funds to them as well.

“So you can see that he was, he was a family man through and through, you know, he identified his family, his wives, he identified his siblings, and some certain people also that he had included in his Will.

“So my father was adamant about certain things, one of which was that anybody who was claiming to be an Abiola would have to go through a blood test, which we had, most of us have done.”

    ROYAL FATHERS TO FG: WE WANT DIRECT PAYMENT OF OUR 5% ALLOCATION

    ROYAL FATHERS TO FG: WE WANT DIRECT PAYMENT OF OUR 5% PERCENT ALLOCATION Traditional rulers in Nigeria have requested the federal government to deduct the five per cent allocation to local government councils, which is constitutionally approved for traditional councils, be deducted from the source and allocated directly to the respective traditional rulers, to ensure proper accountability and compliance. Chun Mada of Akwanga, Dr. Samson Gamu, who spoke on behalf of the traditional rulers of Nasarawa State, made the call when traditional rulers paid a courtesy visit to the chairman of the Revenue Allocation Mobilisation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), Mohamed Bello Shehu, in Abuja. Led by the Osana of Keana, Abdullahi Amegwa, on the visit to RMAFC chairman on Monday, the traditional rulers commended President Bola Tinubu for the resilience and courage to identify with the grassroots, to ensure that the third tier of government is given its rightful place of pride following the Supreme Court ruling, which granted financial autonomy to Local Government Areas as provided in the constitution of Nigeria. “Even with the improvement in statutory allocation, the 5 per cent allocated to Traditional Councils has continued to experience decline and that for us is a serious concern. This called for the interface and pleading from the traditional council for the commission to consider deducting the five per cent charge from the source and disburse it to the traditional councils. “Past experiences show that the modus operandi of deductions where any kind of formula is applied with regard to the implementation strategy is unacceptable,” the traditional ruler stated. Responding, RMAFC chairman described traditional rulers as not only the custodians of tradition and culture but pillars of stability and development in Nigeria. “The remarkable role they played not only as custodians of culture and traditions but also as development agents in various societies that formed what is known as Nigeria today can not be overemphasized,” Shehu said, according to a statement issued by the spokesperson of the commission, Maryam Yusuf. He stressed the need to recognise the rightful position of the royal fathers and accord them a better role that will enable them to perform optimally. Shehu said while the role of the traditional ruler were neglected in the past, he expected that the present attempt at reforming the Nigerian constitution will place a bigger role on the traditional rulers and be able to also find a way not only to fund it but to sustain it so that they will be able to hold the society together as they have done over the years.
