The senator also advised the president to honour Shehu Musa Yar’adua, Beko Kuti and Chima Ubani
Senator Shehu Sani has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to apologise to the families of Ken Saro Wiwa, the eight leaders of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP), as well as the four chiefs of Ogoni who were brutally murdered.
Sani, who represents Kaduna central senatorial district, said the Ogoni nine should also be given national honours.
Wiwa and eight leaders of the MOSOP were arrested and executed during the Abacha regime after they were accused and tried by a special tribunal for allegedly inciting the brutal murders of the four Ogoni chiefs.
Sani, who made this statement in a tweet days after President Buhari honoured late Moshood Abiola with the GCFR award, also asked the president to honour General Shehu Musa Yar’adua, Beko Kuti and Chima Ubani.
Sani tweeted: "There’s need for the FG to tender an unreserved apology to the families of Ken Saro-Wiwa and his Ogoni Kinsmen and honour the 9 and the 4 Ogonis with national honours.Same should be done to late Gen Shehu Musa Yar’adua.Dr Beko Kuti & Chima Ubani must also not be forgotten."
Meanwhile, emiratco.com earlier reported that a daughter of Moshood Abiola has apologised to President Muhammadu Buhari over incident that might have occurred within the June 1993 election and the death of her father.
Hafsat Abiola-Costello, during the June 12 investiture in honour of her father and two others, said things seem impossible until its done.
Apologising to President Buhari and his family, Hafsat said it is unbelievable that the president was used by God as an instrument to restoring honour to her father.
