NIGERIA (Kano)-Maj. Hamza Al-Mustapha, the former Chief Security Officer to the late Head of State, Gen. Sanni Abacha, has revealed that he has no political ambition for now.

Al-Mustapha made this comment yesterday when he paid a courtesy visit to the Emir of Kano, Alh. Ado Bayero, at his palace in Kano.

He added that his recent visit to some troubled states was to ensure peace and uphold the unity of Nigeria.

“I have not decided to venture into politics now and I have not been invited into that direction.’’

 “Many organisations and associations actually contacted me with invitations that took me there. I did it with a view to putting a helping hand.

“Right from 1984, I found it mandatory to help associations in support of peace and unity, and now that God has granted me freedom, I cannot say no.

“We have opened ground for reconciliation to many tribes and communities and we hope it will add colours towards achieving peace, unity and development in the country.

“To us, the background we have is that of a country solidly united, where hopes and confidence of the people are fully restored and anchored upon progress and development.

“We are looking for a country that is firmly rooted with the God’s given resources and given the direction and taking giant strides in Africa for development and progress,’’ he said.

According to him, he would continue to respond to such calls by organisations and associations provided they were meant to foster unity and peace in the country.
