I don’t know Mohammed Abacha more than the fact that he is the son of late Sanni Abacha. As a Nigerian he has every right to contest for any elective post, but then as Bidemi wrote, there is a moral issue here. How can we trust him? How can we be so sure he will not follow the footsteps of his father? After all he has his father’s blood flowing in his veins. Beside does he agree with majority of Nigerians that his father misruled us?

I think what he needs to do as far as I am concern are:

1. for him to acknowledge that his father misruled us and apologize to Nigerians on behalf of his family.
2. Secondly I think it is too early for him to jump into politics, the wound his father inflicted on us is still very fresh. He should wait a little longer or leave that path for his children
3. Thirdly I think he should be righting the wrong of his father by doing things that are pro-the masses of Nigeria

May be, just may be, then Nigeria can begging to see him as Mohammed Abacha and not as the son of Sanni Abacha.

True, the world may be in the hands of the wicked and every one (not just the leaders of the western world) has one ugly past or the other, but the world will be a better place if we do not sustain the evil legacy of our fathers but chose rather a better course for ourselves, just as the like of Schwarzeneggers, Bush and Clintons did.

But then ultimately it is the people of Kano that will decide (that is if their election will truly count).

Again as much as I hate to admit it, in Nigeria anything is possible (even if it is morally or legally wrong).

He has every right to contest in the elections, just like voters have every right to cast their vote to their preferred candidate. If he were to contest the problem would be that, flush with cash that was looted from the Nigerian treasury during his father's regime, in conjunction with the history of election fraud and ballot rigging in Nigeria, he will probably bribe and cheat his way into the office, where he will be an ominous vestige of his father's repressive regime.

@PrinceK12

The US have just rejected our nomination for the ambassdorial post based on the allegation (that was good enough for the US) that his son is involved in gang rape, and you see nothing wrong in the son of a man that made UK accepts Nigerians as asylum seekers due to the draconian rule of his father? And he is thinking of seeking office? Yes he will bribe his way through, why even we are not in position to change should you give him encouragement?Enough noise and he will think twice, knowing that his dad and his family will forever be a pariah.

Its all about Political Dynasty. People with money these days want power as well, His sister Gumsu, the one married to a Cameroon Billonaire also wants to be First Lady. Her husand will be contesting for president of Cameron next year. Mohammed will surely win and i tell you all  when he wins, the Abiola's and Obasanjo's will celebrate with him. That is Nigeria for you. His sister got married last month and guess what? Gbenja Obasanjo and the Abiola's all attended. By the way, what happened to the millions the Swiss authorities seized from his bank account. Was it returned to Nigeria? If yes, who's got the millions, hmmmmmm
his wife can shop, i work @ Harrods and i live in St John's wood so i tend to see them all, they just spend, spend and spend,

Other than being Abacha's son does Mohammed parade any credentials of his own?
