βThe 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.
βHis children are abroad and would host an online conference with the family today to discuss his burial arrangements,β 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 Nigeriaβs 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.
