Chief Security Officer to late General Sani Abacha yesterday turned his visit to Kaduna state into a 2015 campaign speeches.
Al-Mustapha, who had been in detention for nearly 15 years, was acquitted by the Court of Appeal Lagos recently over the killing of Kudirat, wife of M.K.O Abiola, the presumed winner of 1993 presidential election.
Major Al-Mustapha, arrived Kaduna state metropolis from Zaria where he paid a visit to the Emir of Zazzau, Dr. Shehu Idris around 2.10pm.
Hundreds of youths trooped out to receive him and chanted , “ 2015: Major Al-Mustapha for president.”
Al-Mustapha seized the moment and responding to the youths under the umbrella of Arewa Youth Forum (AYF) said: “For those of you that believe there is hopelessness in the country, we must all team up to make the direction for change. You may not understand now but when the direction is defined, when the rail is laid you will know it.
“I was told that when I was released in Lagos, youths in Kaduna, Kano and other parts of the North trooped out to celebrate my release. Those in the south also did same, because I was told. I thought I was forgotten but this has shown me that you love me and I love you all.
According to him, his release was a victory for democracy and that he would meet with all youth bodies and organisations in both North and South in order to chart a new course.
In his address, the National President of AYF, Comrade Gambo Ibrahim Gujungu said the situation they found themselves in was unfortunate and that they will change the norm at all cost.
Speaking when he received the former CSO in his residence; Dr. Ahmed Abubakar Gumi urged him to see his incarceration as the will of Allah and that he should forgive all those that played role in it.
“It is indeed a happy day for us and as he said it is a big plus to democracy and judiciary in Nigeria. We have come of age where no innocent person should be incarcerated for no reason. We pray Allah will give peace to our nation and for everybody to live in peace and in a peaceful environment.
It is not that any of our past and present leaders, including our colonial leaders, were incorruptible!
However, I would be surprised and offended if he was nominated by any party to be their presidential candidate!
I think its time the people of Africa deserve something good from being born into this world - our leaders are there for themselves - we find no peace outside our continent - we scrape the ground to feed ourselves etc so I think compounding our problems with another 'wannabe' leader will only place us behind Sudan in terms of development!!!!!!!!

for more than 2 decades ago, youths have been called the leaders of tomorrow, but it pain me a lot when we still see criminals, murderers and convicts of yesterday still planning to finish the wicked works that they have started. what then is our hope in this nation?
What is not worth living for is not worth dying for
