Hafsat made the remark in response to the recognition Obasanjo gave her father while speaking at a function recently. The former president had said;
"Ogun State would have produced three presidents if not for bad belle. I want to agree with him (Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo) that Abiola sacrificed for the nation”
Mrs Abiola-Costello
said Obasanjo’s recognition of her late father was unnecessary...
“I feel that if he wanted to recognize MKO Abiola now, it’s good for him. But, MKO Abiola was always the greater man. And you cannot recognize somebody that is more than yourself. MKO Abiola did not require General Obasanjo to recognize him. He (Abiola) required the Nigerian people to see his heart. And the Nigerian people did. That was why they rewarded him with the June 12 election, an election that was so free that no Nigerian leader can claim that kind of mandate even till today,” she stated.

U are right. #Danjay#
Chei but y...... Lol. Oby u 2 ugly I beg
You don't compare the living with the dead gal! Obasanjo will forever be the greatest. You don't comapare a bloody civilian with the military..Case closed.
Well, the truth be say mko don kaput but obj still dey kampe and dey run thingsz. So sis know too vex God dey
MKO is a great man no qualms
Greater than OBJ in what sense??
OBJ ruled for 12 yrs ..as a military man and in a democratic way! He started OFN.. He support farming activities in Nigeria.. He helped in d importation of phones to Nigeria and so many more.. Stella on d oda hand did lot of things ( charity ) and many more!
Her statement is uncalled for!
#Pesty
Naso problem dey start
Ugh!
And also d land use decree to minimize d problem we're facing on land acquisition!
Lyk seriozly to me OBJ is greater .. MKO didn't even rule for long..if @all.. He was d pupils choice of all time dose not make him d greatest!
#Pesty
Your father MKO is in no way near Obasanjo. Obasanjo for starters is an ex president! He is older than your father and has a long list of things he did for Nigeria! What exactly did Abiola do for Nigeria.....He stole our money through ITT is that what he is great for? These spoilt kids of thieves should learn to keep quiet

All that is in the past so i dont give a f**k about those kinda stories,let face today so that tomorrow can be better,everyday boko haram are killing innocent people in the north,if any past leader want to set the record straight they should join hands with the present president and fight terrorists......we r tired of hearing old stories that add nothing to poor man's life
K
I wish this could be on help at ending the boko haram insurgency.

Miss Linda ikeji, that reminds me sef, whatabout the money you promised your blog readers last December?, the 1.5million dash, did you change your mind? or did I miss anything? pls post this?
Totally unnecessary.... Abiola is a great man indeed...! But i can't compare the two men...they're both great in there different ways no need for comparison.
I agree. With his death he has become the greatest. May he Rest in Peace.
Don't know why people like dwelling in the past.
God is the greatest.
CoolDiva speaks!
Gbam!
Ok seen... God bless d dead n help d living
Gbam!!..I second.
*Nita Briggz*
Ur father was a thief,what happened to itt funds.he deserve no respect.
Y this girl dey fool herself. Base on family parole,her father may be greater than obasanjo. Bt the fact remains that General Olusegun Obasanjo is far far greater than MKO. Obj was once a president of this country for good 3times,while ur late father was not. If u got any beef bout ur late pop nt being d president,then direct ur beef to General Babaginda and the late General Sani Abacha. Sho gbo.
Ok let me hear word i beg.
Yes ofcourse . Abiola was a rare gem. Nigeria's problem almost started when they killed him...
What a silly thing to say. Grow up Hafisat Abiola-Costello and stop living in your father's shadows!!!
Words on marble. Politicians though......
Who made the law that you cannot recognize someone greater than you? If this lady is annoyed with OBJ for some other reason she should state it clearly. Abiola was not a saint.
What is she on about??
This is uncalled for, there is nothing wrong with what OBJ said. I smell bad blood here! I thought Yoruba people respected their elders?
MKO is better Dan OBJ
Baba...I don't see u
... hmmm maybe. perhaps obvious
Their legacies live on...so they are both icons...abiola's daughter and obasanjo should park well jawe
??????????????????
Somebody help me understand her point pls!!!
Abiola is greater than Obj.... So is he greater than millions of other Nigerians but we still respect him * Confused Face*
So Madam Costello wetin Baba Iyabo tok now wey bad?Abegi holam there no put mouth 4 Uncle Shege body u hear?Dead or alive no President like OBASANJO
That june 12 was the day Nigeria murdered sleep.I couldn't agree with her more!
I careless!!
Hmmmnnnnn.... Correct!
your fada MKO greater dan obasanjo!! Keep dreaming.
She should take several seats.*Long hissssss*
I concurr...Mko is a greater man..Obj is just an opportunist.
It's quite true OBJ never wanted anyone to be greater than him,not least from his Egba stock.
MKO will always be the greatest-great orator; astute businessman, unparalleled philanthropist;the most detribalised Nigerian, a bridge builder & the best president we never had.
Both are thieves. Non is great. ENGR Emy
Na so so talk...who cares.
Yeah is the truth #bright bravo#
Well said, Hafsat. That story has not been told. OBJ is a spiteful man and MKO was a kind, generous one. When OBJ threw Iya Iyabo and her kids out, they were helped by MKO. OBJ became President on MKO's blood but still refused to acknowledge him. Even GEJ who didn't know MKO recognizes him always. OBJ is too bitter. Us Egbas know him. Stingy, wicked man. Thats why he has never won an election even in his own local government and MKO won everywhere, even in Tofa's local government. RIP, MKO.
These Abiola kids need to shut up already! MKO is of no importance in the current world.
These Abiola kids need to shut up already! MKO is of no importance in the current world.
Several seats woman...u sound empty..if someone lesser doesnt recognise someone dats greater dan him,is the reverse supposed to be d case?join dem for sambisa forest make u follow d girls dat needs rescuing,u definitely need it;yeye foul
RIP MKO. The greatest philanthropist in Nigeria till today.
ok you won! collect trophy.
she z jst an attention seeking fool.Mko z stil d origin of Nigeria's prblm bt dia Z God sha.she should shut dat fuck she call a mouth nd take several seats joor.
I agree with Hafsat cos if we are to place both men side by side in an election, even in today naija, MKO will dust OBJ
I think she's right. But we do not need anybody to remind us of that. MKO is MKO whilst OBJ remains OBJ. They are both celebrated in one time and another. June 12 is still held dappledly in SouthWestern Nigeria for MKO. OBJ will have his if it calls for.
Absolute rubbish!Obasanjo is the best President Nigeria ever had!shut the fuck up costello cos your father is no match for OBJ.
Thank u jare
OBJ is greater biko..
Let the sleeping dog lies I beg Hafisat, let your father rest in his grave.after all,what will you gain in all these troubles.
You are incredibly dumb...stupid goat...what are you known for
She's certainly sick
Abeggiiii, make we hear word! Her comment is soo uncalled for & unnecessary, to wot end? Next thing we'll hear is he was greater than Mandela or the greatest man who ever lived! How did he come about his wealth again? Oh yea, Fela answer that question. Park well jare
Babe u r absolutely correct!!!........may his soul continue to rest in peace.......amen.
XDON D DON
Chai Chai Chai ur wicked o rotfl
a LIVING dog is better than a DEAD lion!!!
That point she raised is not too important now.she should better build up her own future better than her father.oga OBJ you are still great.
ur papa na thief fuck off. note Obasanjo is a great man
So he shdnt have an opinion because MKO is what exactly. MKO dined, wined, womanised, stole with his friends who ended up betraying him. What exactly made him great in all that. Abeg leave Bonario and park well. Why can't pple even have divergent opinions without resorting to abuse sef? Just annoying!
Greater than obj indeed! MKO was great but he never ruled Nig for one day.My opinion? OBJ is greater.Case closed!
EEeee, if Obj was the best President you ever had, why didn't you vote for him the third time? Slaves. Yes thats what you guys are. Make envy no kill una. Una Papa great like MKO? Una dey crase. Nde ala
OBJ no be thief abi? Siddon there they dream. MKO is my man anyday
Obasanjo is PURE EVIL!
Neither MKO or OBJ are saints, in fact both of them are CROOKS.But you are not Great by the Position you held but what you did for the people.MKO paid the Supreme Price with his life to bring True Democracy to Nigeria which OBJ truncated. To me, that nakes MKO greater than OBJ
Thought so as well. Ofe n'manu ppl
Hmm, MkO Abiola, I ve heard so much of you, I wish you had d chance to rule so we see how better a man u would ve been. RIP though.
U gave the best reply on this page.....
Lol........wait till 2014December.
Costello sori u re wrong. Even yesteday, 2day & 2mao OBJ is greater. Costello go hug transformer joor!!
Tripple
Iyabo is even greater than you Hafsat so also her father is greater than your father Hafsat. If you think you can win an election in Ogun state bearing Abiola then you should have a rethink and start answering Costello because you're the offspring of a thief that never ruled Nigeria.
To add to what I just commented on, it was said OBJ stated that there would hv been 3people who would hv been president of nigeria. Let the TRUTH be told, a lot of Nigerians hv very shallow memories. It was OBJ who denied Awolowo of becoming the President by fraudulently making Shagari d winner of d 1979; election. During d june12 struggle, OBJ was no where to be found but he benefitted from d struggle when democracy returned to Nigeria. Nigerians, be Truthful to yourself, MKO is by far d Greatest even when the military junta refused to allow him rule
Pupils?
Make castelo go ask the children of samuel doe d kind of man her father is
Weda MKO or 0BJ great pass all of den go 1day die nd leave al d greatnes,our concern should be hw we can make nigeria a better place 4 children children
This one na political idiots..
Ha Hafsat! Na only waka come! Dia iz God ooh...
Mko was close buddies with Abacha and Babaginda.. He stole millions from Naija ... What exactly was great about him? This ugly looking Hafsat should shut the fuck up. She is only relevant because her father died and was used as a pro democracy symbol. But that didn't stop him from supporting Military governments and enjoying many contracts under the military rule. Ugly Hafsat needs to have several seats.
They are both cruel mercy of nature....dy enrich themselves with our resources.... so plz madam becos we gave ur Father june 12, was becos we needed another president other than IBB.... so please we had no choice then....ITT
She don't need dose comments very rude of her
Dumb ass! U shud knw it's a mistake, *peoples* .. Always luking for mistakes
Abiola is greater even if he didnt rule
