The Presidential Candidate of the Action Alliance, Hamza Al-Mustapha, says he has never stolen or taken any of the nation’s resources but rather he protected them and refused to compromise in the heat of pressure mounted on him by some persons.
“I don’t have money, I have never stolen N10. I challenged two governments; I challenged Abdulsalam Abubakar’s government, and I challenged (Olusegun) Obasanjo’s government. They searched.
“I was ransacked by bigger international investigative agencies (and the) police. My eyes and thumbprint were taken all around the whole world and they saw nothing. But rather than tell the whole world my clean record, they kept it aside,” he said on Channels TV’s Political Paradigm aired on Tuesday.

Al-Mustapha was a Chief Security Officer to the late General Sani Abacha who was Military Head of State between 1993 and 1998.
According to him, the persons who falsely accused him of murder, an attempted coup, drug trafficking and money laundering allegations did a “disservice” but he has forgiven them.
“I faced 14 judges in 15 years and that has been cleared and there is no iota of it,” he stated.
“Why did they want to kill me? It is simply because of what I know. I found myself in a situation where I refused to compromise Nigeria and that refusal has cost me,” the presidential candidate added.
