‘Show of shame’ — Abacha’s Daughter Posts Cryptic Tweet As Aisha Buhari Trends Over Student’s Detention

Gumsu, a daughter of Sani Abacha, late military head of state, says she received “good upbringing” from her parents.

In a tweet on Monday night, Gumsu said she wishes no one falls victim to violence or a “show of shame”.

“Alhamdulillah for the good upbringing that I received from my parents. May we never fall victim to violence/show of shame.

Omo pedigree no be lie wallahi. Alhamdulillah wa shukrulillah always,” she wrote.

Although she didn’t give any interpretation, her tweet comes days after Aminu Muhammad, a student of the Federal University Dutse, was arrested by the police over a critical post on Aisha Buhari.

The tweet, which was posted in Hausa in June 2022, reads: “Su mama anchi kudin talkawa ankoshi.”

The tweet, which was accompanied by a photograph of the president’s wife, loosely translates as “Mama has eaten poor people’s money and is now full”.

Condemnations from human rights activists and other Nigerians have since trailed Muhammad’s arrest.

On Tuesday, the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) apologised to Aisha and appealed for Muhammad’s release.

Meanwhile, Gumsu’s tweet has generated varied reactions on Twitter.

Abacha is better than Buhari, you can asks me why politely

DaddyFreeze2020:
So the undergraduate student has no good upbringing coz he made a statement the First Lady feels guilty about?
The Northern elites and political class will always justify their maltreatment and abuse of the poor masses amongst them.

Northerners need to get more and more education and exposure to prevent their elites from silencing them

Tochj:
Jonathan wife was called all sorts of Names
Hippopotamus
Crocodile
But No one was Arrested
Instead they conspired
Tell lies against him and chase him away
God sometimes allow Men to taste their own Evil.

Bluntguy:
Someone threw an egg at King Charles of England. He was arrested and later released. Same goes for the lady that slapped Emmanuel Macron of France.

This one is something Aisha should have just overlooked but she is bent on displaying a show of shame over a mere social media post.

For those of you attacking Gumsu Abacha, do well to look at the message and leave the messenger.
