Flamboyant and oratorical Director-General of the MKO Abiola campaign Organisation in the June 12, 1993, presidential election, Senator Jonathan Silas Zwingina is dead. He was aged 70.
Zwingina honchoed the ‘Hope ’93’ presidential campaign organisation of the late Chief Moshood Abiola of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the 1993 election as its DG.
The outcome of the poll was annulled by former military president, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (Retd).

Zwingina, a former Senator who represented Adamawa Southern Senatorial District, was one of the founding members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He was elected in 1999 and reelected in April 2003 on the party’s platform.
He served on the Senate Committees of Works & Housing, Establishment, Internal Affairs, Information, Special Projects, Privatization and Economic Affairs.
