one region, others regard him as an overbearing instrument used by an autocratic regime to smoulder Nigeria’s democracy in its cradle. Yet, none is untrue.Nzeribe was a man of complicated qualities and contradictory deeds. A self-serving rebel to many and an altruistic freedom fighter to others.
Nzeribe grew rich and influential among the Ghana elite and became one of the most influential immigrants in the country.A coup ousted Nkrumah on February 24, 1966, but the influence of the Nzeribe did not wane among the Ghanaian elite.

The businessman claimed the organisation had garnered petitions from more than 25 million Nigerians who supported the cause.On June 10, 1993, two days before the election, the organisation obtained a high court injunction against the holding of the poll based on alleged corruption. Little credence and attention were given to the injunction by Nigerians and politicians alike as the election proceeded as planned.

Ascribing being 'instrumental in annulment ...' is unrepresentative. The military annulled the election. Helped by some civilians. Many of them are still alive and masquerading as champions of democracy. They all sold Abiola out including his kiths and kins.

'At the height of his life, he lived in Nicon Hilton Hotel Abuja Presidential Suite for over 20years. So also Federal Palace Hotel, Lagos.”
