| Late Gen. Abacha |
Gumsu Sani Abacha is the eldest daughter of a
late Head-of-State and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Gen Sani Abacha.
Today, June 8 marked the 18th year of the former head-of-state death
and she celebrated her dark-goggled dad on Instagram. She posted with his
picture:
“18 years since you left us. May aljannah firdaus be your final abode. Amin.
..I miss you everyday with time i see so much of you in me.. never believed
when ppl say we look alike...I am proud to be your daughter. I will do
everything in my power to uphold our name...you were loving and caring. You
always wanted the best for us..and for nigeria. #gallant #infantry #418.”(sic)
Then, she ended with a quote from her father: "power and authority
belongs to Allah and only him can decide the future with certainty but
absolutely I don't have any intention to perpetuate my self in power"—
General Sani Abacha.
After some hours, she posted this with another of his picture:
“Today in History: Gen. Sani Abacha Died
