Abe, in a statement he personally signed and issued in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, wondered why individuals would choose to tarnish the character of General Buhari because of politics.
“I am however appalled by the direction our dear country and politics are going. A nation where men and women of integrity are vilified and denigrated while corrupt and people of dubious character are celebrated and treated as heroes”.
Abe explained that he is not a practising politician but a personal friend of Buhari, noting that, things that have been said about this exceptional Nigerian that will upset the stomach of someone who truly knows him and that he does not know of any other Nigerian who can stand up to him (Buhari) when it comes to character and integrity.
“It therefore appalls me when people whose only credentials are that, the EFCC has stopped chasing them around because they know how to double speak now have the audacity and effrontery to question the character of a man like General Muhammadu Buhari,” the former OGFZA boss said.
Abe disclosed that even when the children of Nigerians with less achievement compared to Buhari were studying abroad he had to persuade him to send his two daughters, who had spent years without graduating from the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, due to unending strikes to continue their academic pursuit in the United Kingdom.
He said, as PTF chairman, which was the richest public institution in the country as at the time, Buhari had to sell his personal property located in Victoria Island, Lagos, in order to send his kids to school and caution Nigerians on playing politics with sensitive issues especially the murdering of peoples’ character.
