Witness History: Archive 2013 - Nigeria's Lost Election

On June 12 1993, Nigeria held an election which was supposed to mark the end of military rule. What happened next sparked years of controversy. We speak to an aide to the presumed winner, MKO Abiola.

Abiola died in jail still believing he was Nigeria's rightful ruler.
