On Sunday, Abiola-Costello, the director-general of the Yahaya Bello presidential campaign organization, appeared on ARISE TV, where she revealed that the parallels between her father and Bello prompted her to accept the position.
However, while co-anchoring Morning Show on ARISE TV on Monday, Tundun reacted to the news by saying that her sister had no right to "abuse" their father's name for Bello's gain.
She added that the involvement of the late Abiola's child in such political shenanigans was even more "unfortunate."
A visibly angry Tundun added that her half-sister should have focused on elaborating her principal’s plans for Nigeria instead of dragging their father’s name through the mud.
“I have come to expect certain things even from that individual. Just because it is not surprising doesn’t mean that it is not staggeringly inappropriate,” she said.
“I’m referring to my half-sister, Hafsat, who is the DG of the Yahaya Bello campaign and her making comparisons to my dad. There are a lot of political players in his team; not one of them feels the need to throw their fathers under the bus for the sake of their principal.
“Come out and talk about your principal, his antecedents, his plans for the future of Nigeria and leave daddy out of it.
“It is not her right because it is not her name. It is our name and it is also a name of future generations of Abiola yet unborn who should be proud of a legacy.
“My father was tortured because UN does consider solitary confinement as torture. He was tortured; then murdered and has left his legacy — only for it to be abused in this fashion.
“Everybody should just leave his name out of it, especially dishonesty, false equivalence, and cynical exploitation of a genuine struggle. It is nauseating.”
