The former chieftain of the Association for Better Nigeria, Abimbola Davis, is dead.
According to The PUNCH, the deceased elder brother, Mr. Azeez Olalekan, popularly known as Energy, said the news of the Ibadan-based golfer came as a shock, adding that he was still up to his feet on Tuesday after he visited the Ibadan Golf Club to have fun.
He maintained that Davis died after developing a medical issue.
“The news of Davis came to us a shock. This is someone that still had fun with some of his friends on Tuesday after visiting the Ibadan Golf Club.
“His children are abroad and would host an online conference with the family today to discuss his burial arrangements,” he added.
The association, led by the late Arthur Nzeribe, set the stage for the decision of the military dictator, Ibrahim Babangida, to annul the June 12, 1993, presidential election won by Chief MKO Abiola of the Social Democratic Party despite being adjudged as the freest and fairest election in Nigeria’s history.
The ABN, on June 10, 1993, two days before the election, got an injunction from the Abuja High Court of Justice Bassey Ikpeme restraining the electoral commission from conducting the election.
Davis, a popular Ibadan-based golfer, died on Friday in his residence in the Jericho area of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
