'WEAKLING'- ABACHA'S DAUGHTER POSTS CRYPTIC MESSAGE AS IBB TRENDS AFTER BOOK LAUNCH. (PHOTO).

 


‘Weakling’ — Abacha’s daughter posts cryptic message as IBB trends after book launch


Gumsu, daughter of the late military head of state Sani Abacha, has shared a cryptic post on X, seemingly responding to former military president Ibrahim Babangida’s claims about her father’s role in the annulment of the June 12 presidential election.

In a one-word post on her X handle on Friday, Gumsu wrote: “Weakling.”

She made the post amid the ongoing conversations on the book, ‘A Journey in Service,’ the autobiography of Babangida, launched in Abuja on Thursday.

In the 420-page memoir, Babangida addressed issues about the annulment of the June 12, 1993, presidential election, which was won by the late MKO Abiola of the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

Babangida described the annulment of the election as an “accident of history” that is “most regrettable”.

The former military president, who oversaw the annulled election, said he was in Katsina when the cancellation of the election was announced by the press secretary of his second-in-command without his knowledge or permission.

Babangida said he later discovered that the forces against the June 12 election were led by Abacha, his then chief of defence staff, who later became military head of state.

The former military leader said after several brainstorming sessions with various groups, he had contacted Abiola and offered him an interim position.

Babangida hinted that Abiola was hobnobbing with Abacha while being deceived that the election would be revalidated once he was overthrown.

In the wake of the protests that trailed the annulment of the election, Babangida stepped down as president in August 1993 and installed an interim government, led by Ernest Shonekan, which Abacha would remove from power in November 1993.

Abacha later clamped Abiola into detention for declaring himself president.

Some individuals have argued that Babangida painted the late Abacha as the villain in the annulment of the June 12 election.

Gumsu had also reposted some of the sentiments suggesting that Babangida knew that Abacha could no longer defend himself.
