Former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, has debunked the speculation that the late winner of the 1993 presidential election, Moshood Abiola, died after falling ill in detention. He said he thanked God for the guidance He gave him and overruled those who denied him access to Abiola. During the incarceration of Moshood Abiola, no member of his family saw him, so when he became Head of State, he gave the family a date to come and see him. A day before he died, his family came to Abuja to see him, but the whole family could not see him at the same time, so it was agreed that when this group of his family will see him today, tomorrow the next team will see him. When the American team was meeting Abiola, he fell sick and the security officers called the medical team to attend to him. The medical team plus the American team took him to the medical centre, where he gave up.
