Abiola, the 5th son of the late business mogul turned politician and winner
of the June 12, 1993 Presidential election, Bashorun MKO Abiola as he and his wife, Hajiya Khadija Abiola (Nee Kam Selem) christened their 5th

Another Imam, Taofeek Abubakre later raised a Tesnat
(Muslim Insurance Prayer) for the new born. Abubakre gave insights into why the Tesnat prayer is very
important for a new child; he said the new born in coming to this world
actually passed through two other worlds before he manifested in the third
world as a human being “He was first a blood in his father’s gene; that was his
first life” Imam Abubakre lectured and
continued “He later crossed into his mother’s womb through his father’s gene
and started another phase of life for 9 months. Right now, he is in his third
and final life. He needs Tesnat and that is what we are
giving him right now”. The Islamic clerics jointly praised late Chief MKO Abiola and his wife, Kudi for their good parenthood urging
Nigerians to imbibe their qualities.

On why he
named his new son Kam Salem  even after naming his first child and elderly
son,  Moshood Kam Selem Olawale Abiola, Jamiu replied “It is because my
first child was prominently called Moshood,
that is what we call him but this one is going to be called Kam Selem. Both my father and father-in-law
were heroes in their respective rights. You know my second child, a girl is
called Kudirat, the one before this
one is called Amne which is the name
of my mother-in-law and this one is now called Kam Selem, with this, I have been able to honor the four grand
parents. The name Amne is for my mother-in-law, my daughter is also Amne.
My mother is Kudirat, my daughter is also Kudirat, my son is Moshood
and my dad is also Alhaji Moshood and my new son is Kam Selem and my father-law is also Alhaji
Kam Selem” noted Jamiu who
actually gave MKO Abiola his first grand child in 2002.

In his own
word, Alhaji Lekan Abiola, Kudirat Abiola’s first son and elder
brother to Jamiu described the
opportunity to have another child as blessing from God, the MKO Abiola scion
said “Any time Allah blesses us with
a new child, it brings blessings and it simply means there is additional
blessing to the family. I thank almighty Allah that my brother had another
child today”.
