Kudirat Abiola
Kudirat Abiola was a Nigerian political activist and the wife of Chief MKO Abiola, a key figure in the struggle for democracy in Nigeria during the early 1990s. She was a staunch advocate for her husband's political rights and became an outspoken critic of the military regime that annulled the June 12, 1993 presidential election. Kudirat's bravery in fighting for justice and democratic governance has made her a symbol of resilience in Nigeria's political history. Tragically, she was assassinated in 1996, and her legacy continues to inspire those who strive for human rights and democratic reforms in Nigeria.
