The text describes the posthumous honor bestowed upon Alhaja Kudirat Abiola, a Nigerian democracy activist who was killed by an Uzzi gunshot fired by Sergeant Rogers, a tool of the late maximum ruler of Nigeria, Gen. Sani Abacha. The ceremony to unveil a memorial cenotaph in her memory was attended by notable democracy mongers, including Chiefs Ayo Opadokun, Abraham Adesanya, Frank Ovie Kokori, Dr. Beko Ransome-Kuti, Air Comdr. Dan Suleiman, Prof. Wole Soyinka, and Dr. Fredrick Fasheun. The Canadian Ambassador to Nigeria also attended the ceremony. The text highlights Alhaja Kudirat's struggle for democracy and her husband's June 12, 1993 (annulled) presidential election mandate, which was silenced by Abacha's tyranny. However, her death has not diminished her stature, and her struggle is being carried forward by her husband's legacy.
