A former Minister of Information and National Orientation, Prof. Jerry Gana, has lamented the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election which many Nigerians believe was the most free and fair elections ever conducted in the history of the country, saying the annulment was a “tragic mistake that was not supposed to have happened.”
Prof. Gana who was a key player in regime of Military President, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (rtd), that midwifed the election that was won by the late Chief MKO Abiola but turned around to annul the same election, said Babangida actually meant well for the country but was forced to take the action by “some powerful forces” who were only after their selfish interests.
