The meeting with Obasanjo not giving him the respite he was looking for, Bagangida continues to tinker with other plans as he attempts to manouver through the political mindfield occasioned by the annulment; by 4th of July 1993, Babangida meets with MKO Abiola. MKO maintained a hardline all through the meeting, thereby, intensifying the pressure on Babangida.

Meanwhile, cracks began to appear in SDP's leadership circles. General Shehu Yaradua, wanting his owm pound of flesh, did not support Abiola's electoral success, at a time when SDP should present a unified formidable front (since it was MKO Abiola that Babangida used when he cancelled the initial 1992 SDP Presidential primaries which Yaradua won).

General Obasanjo (Abiola's fellow Egba kinsmen), who never thought much of MKO's political ambition or the June 12 election results, met again with Yaradua. He began to float the idea of an interim government as a way of ensuring that Babangida is pushed out of power. He reached out to Chief Tony Anienih, the Chairman of SDP and Yaradua's staunch loyalist, and they began to tinker with the interim government option that was floated by Obasanjo....

Massive protests started as the public's reaction to the annulment.
