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.

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala Says Nigeria Lacks a Maintenance Culture
The Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has spoken on Nigeria’s economy, stating that the country lacks a good maintenance culture.
She said “The fact is that endowments alone do not add value. Budgetary allocations alone do not lead to new roads or good maintenance.”
“We lack a maintenance culture in the country. I have to say that. I’m Nigerian, but we need that. We need better ports and digital infrastructure, and lower trade costs. Execution is what matters, and successful execution requires focus. It requires prioritisation.”

Politician and former presidential candidate Peter Obi speaks on President Bola Tinubu’s comments regarding the rising hunger and worsening economic situation in Nigeria.

Peter Obi responded “I watched with deep concern the statement made by President Bola Tinubu to the Catholic Bishops, that there has always been hunger in Nigeria, even before he was born.”
“While it is true that hunger has been a part of human life and has existed in our country for decades, such a statement appears insensitive to the plight of the millions of Nigerians who face worsening economic hardship today.”
