Bakassi Media Advocacy Forum has unveiled plans to release a book in honour of the late Nigerian Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha.

In a statement, Prince Ene Okon, the group’s coordinator, also disclosed plans to establish and name a skill acquisition centre after the late Nigerian military Leader.

Prince Okon described the late Abacha as a fearless, courageous, and patriotic Nigerian leader who defended Nigeria’s territorial integrity and upheld the rights of the minority Bakassi people.

He recalled how Abacha took decisive action in halting the incursion of hostile Cameroonian security forces into Bakassi and how he reaffirmed Nigeria’s authority over the oil-rich peninsula that the Obasanjo Administration ceded in line with the unjust and controversial ICJ judgement.

According to him, “The people of Bakassi are today being oppressed and treated as unwanted guests on their ancestral land while the displaced ones now live as refugees. Abacha was firm and clear that he would never give up any part of Nigeria to any country.”

He said he would rather make Bakassi its own country than hand it to a hostile government.

He noted that Abacha brought the government closer to the people and gave them a greater sense of belonging by creating the Bakassi Local Government and deploying security forces to keep the invading Cameroonian troops at bay.

 

“Abacha’s passing on was indeed an excruciating loss to the people of Bakassi and Cross River State, which has been further subjected to more economic loss over the ceding of part of the state to another country,” the coordinator lamented.
