Sani Abacha: 18 Years After Death, Daughter Says, "I Still Miss You"





Gumsu Sani Abacha is the eldest daughter of a late Head-of-State and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Gen Sani Abacha. Yesterday, 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 After Brief illness.
