Abdul Mumuni Abiola, one of the sons of the late Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola, has recently made some eye-opening revelations about his father’s personal life and the details of his Will.

In a viral video circulating on social media, Abdul shared insights into the life of the late business tycoon and politician, who was known for his immense wealth and numerous family members.

During the interview, Abdul discussed how his father, MKO Abiola, had financially arranged for his over 30 wives.

He explained that his father had ensured each of his wives received a specified amount, with the first wife, Simbiat Abiola, being allocated a sum of £300,000.

Abdul emphasized how meticulous MKO was in organizing financial provisions for his family, revealing that the other wives were also apportioned considerable sums based on their position in the family.

One of the most striking parts of the conversation was when Abdul shed light on the internal family disputes that have plagued the Abiola estate.

He expressed frustration over how two of his brothers, Kola and Wuraola Abiola, had taken over the family’s wealth and were allegedly managing it as their own.

According to Abdul, Kola and Wuraola, acting as self-appointed directors, had taken control of over 600,000 barrels of oil from their father’s oil block.

He claimed that neither he nor other siblings had received any proceeds from the deal.

The situation, as he described, has left many of the Abiola children feeling excluded and disregarded in the management of their father’s estate.

When asked further about MKO’s Will, Abdul highlighted that his father was known for his precise and careful nature, stemming from his background as an accountant and auditor.

Abdul noted that MKO’s approach to his Will was just as thorough as one would expect from someone with such a professional background.

The Will, according to Abdul, was a highly detailed document, reflecting his father’s desire to ensure his wealth was distributed fairly and according to his wishes.

Abdul went on to explain how his father’s Will outlined specific amounts for each of his wives. For instance, his mother received about $150,000, while the third wife was allocated $100,000.

The Will continued in this manner, accounting for each of MKO’s wives—around 30 in total.

Abdul mentioned that his father had even made provisions for some of his siblings, ensuring they, too, received financial benefits from his estate.

Reflecting on the societal context of his father’s time, Abdul remarked that having multiple wives was not considered controversial in the 20th century.

He acknowledged that his father’s large family structure was reflective of the norms of that era.

However, despite the numerous wives and children, Abdul emphasized that MKO was deeply committed to his family and took great care in identifying each member in his Will.

Interestingly, Abdul also revealed that MKO had been particular about confirming the identities of those claiming to be part of the Abiola family.

His father had insisted that anyone asserting their lineage would need to undergo a blood test to prove their connection.

According to Abdul, most of the family members had complied with this request, as MKO was keen on avoiding any disputes over inheritance and familial ties.

Abdul’s revelations not only shed light on the complexity of MKO Abiola’s personal life but also highlight the challenges that have arisen in managing such a vast estate.

The internal family struggles, coupled with the legal and financial complexities of handling his wealth, have brought attention to the Abiola family once again, years after MKO’s passing in the 1990s.
