To mark the 16th anniversary of the creation of Bayelsa State, the state government has announced its decision to immortalise late General Sani Abacha.

It has concluded plans to lay the foundation stone for a 150 duplex housing estate which would be named after late General Abacha whose government created Bayelsa State as Head of State on the 1st of October, 1996. Governor Seriake d**kson announced the decision today in his broadcast to commemorate the 16th anniversary of the creation of the State and the 52nd independence of the country.

According to Governor d**kson, government in partnership with the Ijaw National Congress (INC), has christened the main auditorium of the INC secretariat after General Abacha as well as invite the family of the late General to be part of the celebration and also plant a memorial tree in his honour.

Also, another report claims that Bayelsa State will likely rename one of its Universities to Sani Abacha University considering the fact that SANI ABACHA created Bayelsa State during his regime.

QUESTION:
What's your views on this?
Does SANI ABACHA deserve the honour?

Handsome man with good plans for naija. He was only just misunderstood. Naija needed him and still does. RIP my general, u deserve more than immortalization. We need u in our school curricullum.

I think Governor Dickson is looking at the good side of Gen Sani Abacha's story. Lesson learnt from this is that no good deed goes unrewarded if not today, tomorrow or may be after your dead. Please where ever u are,let's do just one good thing for Nigeria today. And posterity will reward us.

I suppose every federation needs a rogue state (apologies to all well meaning Bayelsians)

Bayelsa’s increasingly controversial governor, Seriake Dickson, announced this morning in a statewide broadcast that he will honour both ex-governor Diepriye Alamieyeseigha and ex-military dictator, Sani Abacha.
