Abdulmumuni Vows No Forgiveness as Abiola’s Children Battle Over £650,000
Abdulmumuni Abiola, one of the sons of the late Chief MKO Abiola, has declared that he will never forgive his elder brother, Kola Abiola, due to ongoing tensions over their father’s inheritance.
Abdulmumuni claims that Kola has deliberately withheld funds that were willed to their father’s children, despite all necessary procedures, including blood tests, being completed to confirm their legitimacy.
In an interview on the ‘Mic On Podcast’ hosted by Seun Okinbaloye, Abdulmumuni detailed the family dispute, alleging that Kola has refused to distribute £650,000 which their late father, MKO Abiola, had willed to his first four wives.
Abdulmumuni explained that Kola has continuously denied releasing the money to the beneficiaries, which has caused division within the family.
He shared background information, stating that the inheritance was meticulously outlined in the will, with specific amounts assigned to each wife.
Abdulmumuni’s mother, Kudirat Olayinka Abiola, who was MKO’s second wife, was to receive £150,000.
However, Kola has reportedly refused to hand over the money, citing legal technicalities under British law as the reason.
Abdulmumuni recounted that Kola had argued their mother, Kudirat, passed away before their father, and under British law, this supposedly meant the money could not be released.
Kola also claimed that he didn’t receive the £300,000 intended for his own mother, who had also passed away.
Abdulmumuni expressed disbelief, pointing out that Kola, being in control of the estate, could have chosen to release the funds if he truly wanted to.
Adding to the grievance, Abdulmumuni revealed that Kola had sold their mother’s apartment in the UK without informing him or his siblings.
He described this as part of a deliberate effort to impoverish their side of the family, leading him to feel deeply betrayed.
The family dispute has clearly taken a toll on Abdulmumuni, who voiced his frustration, stating that due to Kola’s actions, he cannot bring himself to forgive his elder brother.
The inheritance, which was meant to provide for the family, has instead caused a deep rift, leaving unresolved tensions between the siblings.
Governor of Niger State, Mohammed Umaru Bago, mourns and share emotional tribute to former President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari.
“The deceased had remained steadfast in fighting corruption and making Nigeria better throughout his administration, especially through the numerous initiatives introduced by his government, such as the expansion of rail lines, construction, and rehabilitation of major roads, establishment of the Social Investment Programs, and agricultural and security reforms, among others, amidst daunting challenges.”
“I pray Allah will forgive all the shortcomings of the deceased and grant him Aljanna Firdausi.”
Former President Muhammadu Buhari is dead. He passed away at the age of 82. The news was confirmed on Sunday, July 13, 2025, by presidential spokesperson Garba Shehu, who stated that Buhari died in London after battling an illness for some time.
The announcement was also shared through official government channels by President Bola Tinubu’s team. Buhari passed away around 4:30 p.m. GMT while receiving medical care at a clinic in the United Kingdom.
Following the news of his death, President Tinubu expressed sadness and extended condolences to the former First Lady Aisha Buhari and the rest of the family. Tinubu also directed Vice President Kashim Shettima to oversee the process of bringing Buhari’s body back to Nigeria for burial.
Flags across the country have been ordered to fly at half-mast, and a state funeral is expected. The details of the funeral arrangements are yet to be officially released.
Atiku Abubakar has come down hard on President Bola Tinubu, blaming his swift removal of fuel subsidy for the economic pain many Nigerians are facing today. According to the former Vice President, the decision has only deepened inflation, hunger, and hopelessness across the country. Also, he slammed the arrest and ongoing detention of labour activist Comrade Andrew Uche Emelieze, calling it a direct attack on democracy and a clear warning sign of rising authoritarianism under Tinubu’s leadership.
In a statement released Sunday, Atiku accused the government of breaking its promise to workers. He pointed to the N35,000 wage award Tinubu promised as a temporary relief measure, saying it has now turned into yet another unfulfilled pledge. Emelieze was reportedly arrested while trying to lead a peaceful protest demanding the payment of that very wage award.
Atiku showed concern that it took the government almost a year to settle on a new minimum wage, describing the delay as unacceptable. He praised state governments that have handled labour matters better, contrasting them with the federal government, which he said has shown little to no concern for the welfare of Nigerian workers.
Finally, Atiku demanded the immediate and unconditional release of Emelieze and urged the government to stop using fear and repression as a response to citizens’ cries. “Nigerian workers are suffering,” he said. “The government needs to step up and respond with solutions, not silence or suppression.”
