He also questioned the mental state of Al-Mustapha over “resurrection of his old allegations of 2011
”, adding
that Al-Mustapha ”may have been mentally affected by hi
s
long stay in prison while undergoing trial for the murder of late Alhaja Kudirat Abiola.”
He told newsmen on Wednesday in Lagos that he will set the records straight against the attempt by Al-Mustapha to malign the character of notable and patriotic leaders of NADECO, some of whom were now late.
Opadokun insisted that Al-Mustapha was only trying to soil the image of credible Yoruba leaders to make himself look clean.
”The members were late Pa Abraham Adesanya, late chief Francis Okpozo, Arthur Nwankwo, Bola Ige and Ayo Opadokun”, he recalled.
Opadokun stated that the team told the head of state that the only way forward was for the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 Presidential election, Abiola to be released from detention and allowed to form a Government of National Unity (GNU) and thereafter convoke a Sovereign National Conference (SNC).
“After the conclusion of the meeting, we were driven straight from the villa to the airport”, he said.
Opadokun insisted that at no time was he a member of a team of Yoruba leaders other than NADECO members who met and discussed on the way forward with the Abubakar administration after the death of General Sani Abacha.
consigned to the dustbin of history because of the role he played in holding the country hostage
, was now being given cheap popularity which his spurious allegation was meant to achieve in the media.
