The posters which appear to signify her interest in representing her senatorial districte read “Hajia Fatimah Gumsu Sani-Abacha for Senate Kano Central.”
In a twist of events, Hajiya Gumsu Sani-Abacha has distanced herself from the posters or any campaigns for elective office. According to her, she is not interested at this time in contesting any political office whatsoeverShe therefore cautions members of the public to disregard the campaigns.
In a post monitored on her instagram page, she said:
“I would like to draw the attention of the general public to the recent proliferation of political campaign material bearing my name and prison on numerous social media platforms.
“I wish to categorically state that I am not presently involved in partisan politics at any level and I have not indicated interest in running for any political office; the Nigerian senate or any other office as currently being suggested.
“I urge members of the public to disregard these suggestions as they hold no truth whatsoever. I would also like to use this medium to counsel the purveyors of this material to desist from peddling any political material using my name and person. While sounding this note of caution, let me also take the liberty to encourage us all to stay safe. #Staysafe.
