Shehu Sani, a former Kaduna Central congressman, has slammed one of the late Chief MKO Abiola’s daughters, Hafsat, for comparing her father to Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello.

According to Anaedoonline.ng, the Director-General of the Yahaya Bello Presidential Campaign Organisation, Hafsat Abiola-Costello, praised the traits of the Kogi State Governor, calling him as the guy with the needed qualities to lead Nigeria to new heights.

She made the statement during an appearance on Arise TV on Sunday, expressing confidence that Bello will be elected as the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate ahead of the 2023 elections.

She claimed the governor reminds her of her late father, which is why she agreed to manage his presidential campaign in 2023 elections.

“Nigerians must be given the free hand to choose their leaders. That is the meaning of democracy. My father did not contest to represent zoning interests. His interest was Nigeria and Nigeria alone.

“These are the same qualities I have seen in Governor Bello. He dared to contest, not minding that he was from a minority tribe in Kogi and won, and he has come out again. My father did the same when it was believed that a Yoruba man could not be President.

“Yahaya Bello is the best man for the job. And you know me, I’m not driven by pecuniary considerations. I do what I believe in. In the next seven weeks, we would be working hard, and when we emerge, we will deliver the Nigeria of our dreams,” she said.

But reacting to her submission, Senator Sani in a Twitter post on Monday, disagreed with the comparison between Governor Bello and the late Chief Abiola.

While clarifying that he respects the opinion and position of Hafsat, Sani said her claims that Bello is like her father is very bogus.

He wrote: “The profile of Sister Hafsat in the struggle to sustain the legacies of her father is unquestionable; but comparing Bello to Abiola is oddly unconscionable and Bogus.”
