Speaking at the 22nd commemoration of his death in Kano on Monday, June 8, Mustapha insisted that the late Head of State worked effortlessly towards the betterment of Nigerians. He said Abacha saved over $9 billion in foreign reserves before he died.

He said “What Abacha has done to Nigeria can’t be forgotten in the annals of history and generations yet unborn. Abacha came in and found only N200m dollars in the foreign reserve but before his demise was able to revamp the economy and stabilise it to the extent that he saved over $9bn in foreign reserves. Only God will reward General Sani Abacha for the laudable initiative he made in transforming this country to an enviable height.”
