We have everything to lose if we allow this country to breakup or fragmented. United we stand. If you look at the genesis of the situations that brought this country to where we are, I don\u2019t think one should be seen to be supporting anything that will foment trouble or crisis in this land.<\/p>\n<p>Al-Mustapha, who was regarded as a demigod during the reign of Abacha, declared that he was not the devil projected in the newspapers in the past 15 years, submitting that it was those who singled him out for persecution that portrayed him as an evil man.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Al-Mustapha has declared that his current peace mission across the country has no political undertone, submitting that he has no interest in contesting for any elective post in the 2015 general election, as he is not a card-carrying member of any political party.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that the peace mission was aimed at having a peaceful and united country, where the youth would realize their potentialities for the greatness of the country.<\/p>\n<p>Tribune<\/p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE Chief Security Officer (CSO) to the late military dictator, General Sani Abacha, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha has warned that every Nigerian has everything to lose if Nigeria is allowed to&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22007,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22006","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
