Maryam Abacha, the wife of former military dictator, late Sani Abacha has said in an interview with a Nigerian Newspaper that she brought former Military Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari into politics.
The statement reads:
I brought General Buhari into politics; It’s not that I want to expose him. We did everything to support and encourage him. He called my son Mohammed to join Congress for Progressive Change, CPC. They rejected Mohammed by force during the governorship race. This was the trend, not only in Kano, but also in Katsina, Bauchi and other states. I think it is not healthy for democracy; not just because of Mohammed but for the smooth play of democratic norms and values. Democracy is the choice of the people. But when people put their own personal interest first and they interfere [in the process], then it is no longer democracy. It is unfortunate that elders like them could come belittle themselves in the race.
For the APC I cannot comment. It is not yet time for me to do so. However, it is good for democracy to have competition and opposition. It enhances democratic values, norms and stabilises the country’s image, and will eventually uplift our democratic credentials in the international comity of nations.
What is that suppose to mean. Are u tell him to start bowing for you because you introduced him into politic. He was a president before ur husband, so how did you just an ordinary wife to the president introduced him to politic.
