Kudirat Abiola Corner

At the intersection of East 44th Street and Second Avenue in Manhattan, New York, a street sign reads Kudirat Abiola Corner.
The co-naming of this site in January 1998 commemorates Kudirat Olayinka Abiola (1951–1996), a Nigerian pro-democracy activist whose life and death became a defining symbol of the resistance to military rule.
Kudirat was the senior wife of Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (M.K.O.) Abiola, presumed winner of Nigeria’s 12 June 1993 presidential election. The election, conducted under the Option A4 open-ballot system, was widely recognised as Nigeria’s fairest. Its annulment by General Ibrahim Babangida plunged the nation into crisis, igniting a decade of repression, protests, and political upheaval.

Though the struggle to restore her husband's presidential mandate cost both her life and that of a her husband's, yet it culminated in ultimate restoration of democracy in our land. And chased the military junta back to the barracks.
There is no gainsaying therefore that Kudirat Abiola indeed remains a symbol of courage and Democracy for those are rational and not sentimental or biased in their thinking when it come to democratic ideals and values.
