Abiola-Costello, who is the director-general of the Yahaya Bello presidential campaign organisation had on Sunday appeared on AriseNews where she disclosed that the similarities between her late father and Bello encouraged her to take the job.
Recall that Governor Bello had on Saturday while formally declaring his presidential aspiration, unveiled Hope ’23 as his campaign motto, akin to the late MKO Abiola’s Hope ’93 and as well Senator Jonathan Zwingina as the head of his campaign team.
LEADERSHIP reports that Zwingina was the director-general of the late Abiola’s Hope ’93 campaign.
But reacting to the development on Monday while co-anchoring AriseNews’ breakfast programme, The Morning Show, alongside Dr. Ruben Abati and Rufai Oseni, Tundun said her sister did not have the right to “exploit” their father’s name for Governor Bello’s benefit.
She said it was even more “unfortunate” that the late Abiola’s child would be involved in such political gimmicks.
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.
