OBITUARY: IBB associate Abimbola Davis who instigated June 12 election annulment is dead
Abimbola Davis, one of the associates of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, the erstwhile Nigerian military president, is dead.
Mr Davis, 67, died Friday morning at his palatial residence in the Jericho area of Ibadan, Oyo’s capital.
Sources who confirmed his death said the former chieftain of the Association for Better Nigeria (ABN) gave up the ghost after developing a medical issue.
One of the sources who pleaded anonymity explained that Mr Davis was still up to his feet on Thursday after visiting the Ibadan Golf Club to have fun.
“It was shocking when we were told he (Davis) died this morning,” he said.
The deceased was one of the notable associates of Mr Babangida, who played a pivotal role through the ABN in contriving the political impasse of June 12, 1993, with the annulment of the presidential election.
A strategist and military apologist, Mr Davis had revealed in several media interviews how Mr Babangida set the stage for the annulment of the 1993 election.
