Abdul Mumuni, the son of late Chief Moshood “MKO” Abiola has spoken about how DNA tests were conducted to ascertain the actual number of children his dad had.
Mumumi stated that the politician who emerged victorious in the cancelled June 12, 1993, presidential contest had 103 children under his care prior to his passing.
He did point out that, upon completion of the DNA testing, it was determined that only fifty-five of them belonged to MKO Abiola.
MKO Abiola’s son revealed this in an interview with “Mic On Podcast,” attempting to refute the rumour that his father had forty marriages and 103 children.
While many people believed Abiola was having fun, Mumuni claims that they were unaware that he was covering 103 people’s education expenses.
He said: “DNA tests confirmed only 55 as his biological offspring. You know the Abiola family, we are not that much. People think we are a lot. We are only 55. Well, there were 40 wives. Then according to the will, I think about forty-something though.
“There were some wives that were not there at the end. Most of the wives had maybe one or two for my dad. Not every one of them.
“When my father was alive, he was paying for 103 people to go to school. But like I said not all of them were his. So after the blood tests, we happen to be 55.”
