Al mustapha for President in 2015 Rally Holds in Kaduna
Chief Security Officer to late General Sani Abacha yesterday turned his visit to Kaduna state into a 2015 campaign speeches. Al-Mustapha, who had been in detention for nearly 15 years, was
acquitted by the Court of Appeal Lagos recently over the killing of
Kudirat, wife of M.K.O Abiola, the presumed winner of 1913 presidential election. Major Al-Mustapha, arrived Kaduna state metropolis from Zaria where
he paid a visit to the Emir of Zazzau, Dr. Shehu Idris around 2.10pm. Hundreds of youths trooped out to receive him and chanted , “ 2015: Major Al-Mustapha for president.” Al-Mustapha seized the moment and responding to the youths under the
umbrella of Arewa Youth Forum (AYF) said: “For those of you that believe
there is hopelessness in the country, we must all team up to make the
direction for change. You may not understand now but when the direction
is defined, when the rail is laid you will know it. “I was told that when I was released in Lagos, youths in Kaduna, Kano
and other parts of the North trooped out to celebrate my release. Those
in the south also did same, because I was told. I thought I was
forgotten but this has shown me that you love me and I love you all. According to him, his release was a victory for democracy and that he
would meet with all youth bodies and organisations in both North and
South in order to chart a new course. In his address, the National
President of AYF, Comrade Gambo Ibrahim Gujungu said the situation they
found themselves in was unfortunate and that they will change the norm
at all cost. Speaking when he received the former CSO in his residence; Dr. Ahmed
Abubakar Gumi urged him to see his incarceration as the will of Allah
and that he should forgive all those that played role in it. “It is indeed a happy day for us and as he said it is a big plus to
democracy and judiciary in Nigeria. We have come of age where no
innocent person should be incarcerated for no reason. We pray Allah will
give peace to our nation and for everybody to live in peace and in a
peaceful environment.
