One of the son’s of late MKO Abiola, Abdul has opened up on his father’s polygamous marriage and will.
Glamtush reports that Abdul Mumuni, one of the sons of late MKO Abiola has made revelations into some of the late politician’s family secrets.
Speaking in a video which has gone viral on social media, he talked about his late father’s Will.
Abdul shed light on how his father arranged cash payments for all his over 30 wives, adding that the first wife, Simbiat, got $300,000.
Abdul narrated how Kola and Wuraola Abiola, two of his brothers, acting as self appointed directors, have lifted over 600,000 barrels of oil from their late father’s oil block and neither he nor the other siblings collected any money from the proceeds of the deal.
He detailed how Kola Abiola and his full siblings have allegedly been managing the Abiola Estate like his personal property and none of their other half siblings have ever been consulted.
“Basically, you know, for me, I think every time I do one of these interviews, it’s not necessarily about today, but about what tomorrow could be,” he said.
Asked about his father’s Will, Abdul said, “Like with everything my father did, he was very meticulous in his outlook and approach to everything.
“You know, he was an accountant by trade, as matter of fact, an auditor. And if anybody knows anything about auditors, you know that they’re the one group of accountants that people don’t like, because what they do is they check other people’s work.
“So my father, being an auditor and being an accountant, was very meticulous in everything he did. So, you know, at the time of his passing in 1990s you have to understand that he had been arrested in 94 and he was later on assassinated in 98 and once he was assassinated, you know, my father had a Will and last testimony, you know, and it was very detailed piece of document.
“It was a very detailed piece of document, because what you see, if anybody was to look at the document a little, the document is actually available online, if anybody wanted to check whatever father had put in his Will, what you see is a man who was deliberate, who wanted to ensure that his wealth was divided properly according to his wishes.
“You’ll see that he had specified the wives and the exact amount of money that should be apportioned to each wife.
“He did that basically, what was due the first wife was about $300,000. My mother was apportioned about $150,000 and the third wife was to take about, I think 100,000, just like that.
“And he went down like that. He went to the point that, after he had accounted for all the wives, I think about maybe 30 wives identified, he also accounted for his siblings.
“It was what my father had, if you know, you know, he had a bunch, he had a lot of wives. But then you have to understand that it was also not something that was frowned upon at the time, in the 20th century.
“And so, yeah, so he had 30 wives, and he also identified some of his siblings, and also apportioned funds to them as well.
“So you can see that he was, he was a family man through and through, you know, he identified his family, his wives, he identified his siblings, and some certain people also that he had included in his Will.
“So my father was adamant about certain things, one of which was that anybody who was claiming to be an Abiola would have to go through a blood test, which we had, most of us have done.”
