President Bola Tinubu and First Lady Oluremi Tinubu on Thursday arrived at the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts in Iganmu, Lagos, for the national premiere of MKO, a documentary exploring the life and political legacy of late businessman, publisher and politician, Chief Moshood Abiola.

A video shared by Tinubu’s Special Assistant on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, showed the President and First Lady arriving at the venue as a band played the national anthem, with guests standing in respect.

Dada said, “President Bola Tinubu and First Lady Oluremi Tinubu have arrived at the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts in Iganmu, Lagos, for the national premiere of ‘MKO’, a feature-length documentary on the life and political legacy of late businessman, publisher and politician, Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola.”

The premiere is taking place on Thursday, October 1, Nigeria’s 66th Independence Day, with the documentary revisiting Abiola’s life, political career and role in the struggle that followed the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election.
