Maryam Abacha, the widow of the late military Head of State, General Sani Abacha, has stated that claims that her husband looted billions of dollars while in power are untrue.
According to Maryam, the longstanding allegations against the deceased Head of State are unfair and rooted in misinformation.
Maryam said, “The annulment was not done by my husband. And if it was him, then that means he was more powerful than the President at the time. That means Abacha was the greatest. But I’m not here to talk about Babangida or anybody. All I know is that my husband didn’t do it.”
Furthermore, she argued that no one has brought evidence that Abacha stole billions and stashed abroad.
“Who is the witness of the monies that were being stashed? Did you see the signature or evidence of any money stashed abroad? And the money that my husband kept for Nigeria, in a few months, it vanished. Why are you blaming somebody?” She queried.
She also called for unity and tolerance among Nigerians, decrying the influence of ethnic and religious bias in national discourse.
