One of the daughters of the former military president of Nigeria, Sani Abacha, Fatima Gumsu, has opened up on the pains of being attacked for her father’s sins. This is coming on the heels of a twitter user with the handle, @dapoprince, saying a prayer about citizens not to continue to visit the sins of past leaders on their children. He wrote: “NIGERIA will be 57 next year, may we not continue to visit the sins of our past ‘perceived bad’ leaders on their ‘innocent’ children. In response to the prayer, Gumsu said, ‘Amin to your prayers. May Allah open special doors for you. Happy New Year.’
On an Instagram post, under the handle, @G_sparking, Gumsu revealed that dealing with what Nigerians say about her family has not been easy.
“It definitely has not been easy dealing with this for almost two decades. Our family has been called all sorts of names. We have been under so much attack. It definitely doesn’t feel nice. I used to cry so much at the beginning, I had no choice but to develop crocodile skin. It still hurts so much even though I have learned to live with it. I was not the head of state. I did not receive a monthly salary neither did I choose to be Fatima Gumsu Sani Abacha. May Almighty Allah make it easy for us all. Happy 2017.”
