Dr Wale Fasakin, an aide of the late MKO Abiola, has stated that Onitiri, who claims to be the president of a new Yoruba Nation, is not one of the officially recognised wives of Abiola.
Fasakin made the declaration while addressing journalists about Onitiri’s role in the agitation in the southwest region,
“She is not one of the officially recognised wives. The agitators are saying Oduduwa Nation. The Yoruba Nation she is talking about, I don’t know what she wants to achieve.
“Where does she get the power to organise such a thing? How can they organise such a thing?
“She is not one of the recognised official wives – the official wives are four – Kudirat, Simbiatu, Bisi, and Doyin. She may be Abiola’s wife but she is not one of the wives declared when he was campaigning.
“These were the people living in his house. When Simbi died, those living with him were three. Those are the three he referred to as official wives during the Hope 93 Campaign. So Onitiri is not one of the official wives,” Fasakin told reporters.
