Senator OpeyemiBamidele, CON
June 12, 1993 was truly a watershed in our post-independence history as a federation of diverse people. It was a day that no fewer than 14.29 million voters trooped to their polling units nationwide to elect a new civilian president and put paid to the regime of tyranny that eclipsed our fatherland. Before us were two presidential candidates – Chief MKO Abiola of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and Alhaji Bashir Tofa of the National Republican Convention (NRC).
