Presidency defends the Centenary Award given to Abacha

Abacha was honoured during the nation’s centenary award last Friday under the category of “outstanding promoters of unity, patriotism and national development.”

Funny enough, Reuben Abati who was recently assigned with the duty of defending the award given to Abacha has been rough-handled by Abacha's government before. The time he was working with The Guardian that the newspapers had to be printed in an undisclosed location and smuggled into Garri trucks to ensure its circulation.

Well, it seems he has a forgiven spirit like Nelson Mandela or a good servant spirit like the saints that does whatever God orders. He has bluntly carried out Mr. President's order by defending the Centenary Award given to Late Sani Abacha. According to him, he emphasized that Abacha contributed to the unity of Nigeria. Well the award category speaks more than unity: “outstanding promoters of unity, patriotism and national development.”
