Sadiq Abacha, son of Nigeria’s former military Head of State, the late General Sani Abacha, has said that his father’s leadership remains significant despite ongoing criticism.

Sadiq, in a Facebook post on Saturday, defended his father’s legacy, saying that the late Abacha was a victim of envy and subtle betrayal.

The son of the former military leader expressed confidence that history would eventually judge his late father favourably.He noted that he was very proud of his father, adding that Abacha’s critics wished they were him.

“The man Abacha — you have always been the one they envied with silent deceit. History shall remember you for being a better leader, no matter how much they try to put you down.

“As a son, I am most proud of you today. You indeed are the man they wish they were half of,” he wrote.

This comes after the release of former military President Ibrahim Babangida’s memoir which has reignited debates about Nigeria’s political history.

DAILY POST reports that a significant revelation in the book involves the annulment of the June 12, 1993, presidential election which Babangida admitted was won by Moshood Abiola.

According to Babangida, the annulment was influenced by forces within his administration, allegedly led by Abacha.
