Former General  Secretary of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) Chief Frank Kokori, says Chief Tony Anenih betrayed Moshood Abiola and the June 12 struggle.

According to The Vanguard, Kokori said this in a phone interview while reacting to Anenih’s statement in his autobiography entitled, ‘My Life and Nigeria Politics’ that he (Anenih) advised Abiola against declaring himself president.

“I read the statement by Anenih and that was correct, even myself, who was a key player then was not told by Abiola. He never told me that he was going to declare himself President.

“But that does not hide the fact that Anenih as chairman of the defunct Social Democratic Party (SDP) which Abiola belonged to, betrayed Abiola and the June 12 struggle.

“Anenih scuttled June 12 and incapacitated the struggle for the actualisation of Abiola’s mandate. It was natural that Abiola declared himself President because he won the election and had the mandate of Nigerians to be President.”
