Micó Abogo was a founding member of the CPDS and was Secretary of Administration and Finance of the CPDS Provisional Executive Committee during the early 1990s. He was arrested after copies of the CPDS paper La Verdad, which he and Celestino Bonifacio Bacalé wanted sent to Spain, were intercepted at the airport in Malabo in February 1992. He was jailed for about four months and was allegedly tortured.

In December 1994, at the Constitutive Congress of the CPDS, held in Bata, Plácido Micó Abogo was chosen as Secretary-General. He was re-elected to that post at the party's Second National Congress in February 2001 and at its Third National Congress.
