Alhaji Musibau Abiola, the younger brother of late businessman and politician, Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale(MKO) Abiola, is dead.
Musibau Abiola died around 4am on Saturday following months of long illness and would be buried today by noon according Islamic rites.
Already, some family members have started converging at the deceased’s home in Gbagura area of Abeokuta in Abeokuta North Local Government Council of the state while Abiola’s children – Kola, Deji among others are being expected.
Before his death, Musibau often used the occasion of the yearly June 12 memorial to lament the sinful neglect of the Abiola’s family by successive Nigerian governments since the death of their breadwinner – MKO Abiola.
He was particularly pained by the unavoidable sight of the abandoned and uncompleted proposed Presidential House of MKO Abiola at the Ibara GRA, Abeokuta, and governments’ attitude to it.
A year ago, he told The Nation that the building is so gigantic that a single individual may not be able to provide the fund required for its completion, and noted that only government’s help may salvage the situation.
Musibau said then that the sorry state of the abandoned construction was a source of worry and discomfort to the family, lamenting that it was also one of the many losses and setbacks they had been contending with since the aborted June 12, 1993 polls and subsequent death of his brother.
