In a civilized society the likes of Mohammed Abacha will hide away in shame and his whole family will not have a seat in the public space. The family of a man who looted Nigeria like dollar was going out of fashion has the audacity to participate in politics? This is part of the Fulani agenda of Mullah Muhammadu Buhari, a friend of the late state treasury looter Sani Abacha.
How many billions of dollars have been retrieved and returned to Nigeria by various nations in Europe and America despite the refusal of Mohammed Abacha to cooperate with investigators? Mullah Buhari has no conscience and the Abacha family will forever be a scorned family among men and women of integrity.
