Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, CFR (24 August 1937 – 7 July
1998), often referred to as M. K. O. Abiola, was a popular Nigerian
Yoruba businessman, publisher, politician and aristocrat of the Yoruba
Egba clan.
He ran for the presidency in 1993, and is widely
regarded as the presumed winner of the inconclusive election since no
official final results were announced. He died in 1998, after being denied victory when the entire election results were dubiously annulled by the preceding military president Ibrahim Babangida because of alleged evidence that they were corrupt and unfair.
