A principal official of the Abacha regime, Alhaji Buba Galadima has defended late Former Dictator, Sani Abacha saying the recovered money was saved by ex- military for the country with knowledge of his cabinet members.

Galadima in an interview with Nation newspapers said most opinions expressed by people concerning Abacha are based on ignorance.

He said, ” I have a completely different idea about what you called Abacha loot. I know as a fact that at that time, Abacha with knowledge of key members of his government, who knew about this money being stacked out, he was rightly advised by some of his colleague presidents around the world.

“Saddam Hussein was one of them. Muammar Gaddafi was one of them. They advised him that there was the likelihood that the US could sanction Nigeria and as such he should save money outside that could last the country, at least, six months, even Nigeria’s account was blocked by the US, there won’t be panic.

“I was a key figure in that government. I was one of the so-called Abacha boys if you must know. I was the Director General, National Maritime Authority, whereby export and import to Nigeria, including crude, were directly coming under my desk. So, am in position to talk about Abacha and the so-called loot.

“It is true that some Nigerians believe Abacha was a monster and you cannot fault their ignorance. Yes of course. It is based on ignorance.

“But the truth of the matter is that we are running a constitutional government called democracy. People can hold different opinion provided it does not encroach on another’s liberty. What I have said to you now is my own opinion based on what I knew of the government and the man at that time.”

He saved money for Nigeria BUT he couldn't invest just a little part of it in the economy.

Truly, mad men has fans.

Oga Galadima, abeg go rest, Abacha is a thief!

We are waiting for PDP's response.

I love Abacha

Hope he has paid the huge debt he took, we have seen their poor mentality
