Al-Mustapha hosts Christian women, breaks down in tears, laments lingering insecurity

The presidential candidate of the Action Alliance (AA), Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, former Chief Security Officer (CSO) to late General Sani Abacha, hosting a coalition of northern Christian women at his residence in Abuja on Saturday, broke into tears in lamentation of the state of security in the country.

He retired Army Major said that Nigerians now need leadership that will change the country not leaders emerging from religious sentiments.

Al-Mustapha stated: “What Nigeria wants now is leadership. We have to get out of where we are and people will come and use the name of religion to say ‘Because he is a Muslim, he cannot be this; because he is a Christian, he cannot be this.

“These are ingredients that killed Nigeria yesterday that they are also using to kill Nigeria tomorrow.

“We can’t accept that. I am seated next to you; you are my sister. Amongst you are mothers. We would die protecting you.

“We as a country have been taken for a ride. God Almighty exposed some of us, almost as teenagers, I was 19 years old when I began to know power play in Nigeria.

“They are only interested in destroying us the more and people don’t understand.”

He commanded the Christian women for the confidence they have in him.

The Christian women disclosed that they were there to assure the AA presidential candidate of their support in the 2023 general elections. They expressed the belief that Al-Mustapha has the capacity to tackle the insecurity in the north and other parts of the country.
