M.K.O Abiola
Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, popularly known as M.K.O Abiola, was a prominent Nigerian businessman and politician who is best known for winning the June 12, 1993 presidential election, which was later annulled by the military government led by Ibrahim Babangida. Abiola's electoral victory was seen as a significant moment in Nigeria's democratic development, and his subsequent imprisonment and struggle for the recognition of his mandate turned him into a symbol of the pro-democracy movement in Nigeria. His legacy continues to influence Nigerian politics and civil rights.
