\u201cIt is important to state unequivocally that General Sani Abacha was neither the Head of State nor the Commander-in-Chief at the time the June 12 election was annulled. The decision to annul the election was made under the administration of General Ibrahim Babangida, who, as the then Head of State, held absolute executive powers and was solely responsible for the actions of his government. Any attempt to shift this blame onto General Sani Abacha, who was a very senior military officer within the regime, is a deliberate distortion of historical facts.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor years, various actors have attempted to rewrite the history of that critical period in Nigeria\u2019s democratic evolution. However, the facts remain unchanged. We urge Nigerians to be wary of revisionist narratives that seek to manipulate public perception for personal or political reasons. The memory of our late father and leader, General Sani Abacha, must not be tarnished by baseless accusations meant to absolve those who were truly responsible.<\/p>\n
\u201cFurthermore, we wish to emphasize that despite this unfortunate attempt to shift blame, General Sani Abacha remained a true and loyal friend to General Ibrahim Babangida up to the time of his death. He was a man of unwavering commitment to his comrades. We also find it necessary to state that at the time General Babangida\u2019s life was under threat, it was General Abacha who came to his rescue, ensuring his safety.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe take this opportunity to express our heartfelt appreciation to the many Nigerians who have risen in defense of General Sani Abacha in an effort to set the record straight. Your unwavering commitment to truth and historical accuracy is deeply appreciated, and we acknowledge the outpouring of support from those who refuse to allow history to be distorted.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we reflect on Nigeria\u2019s history, we acknowledge General Sani Abacha\u2019s time in leadership and the role he played in the nation\u2019s development. His contributions, like those of past leaders, remain part of our country\u2019s history. We believe that history is best judged with fairness and objectivity.<\/p>\n
