Sharing his experience since he joined politics, Yusuf Datti said: “Me and my family have been paying the price in my attempt to rescue Nigeria. They sent all sorts of people after me. I would have been a lot happier if only they stopped at me as an individual.
But you know, the thing that I was able to sort with the presidential and vice presidential candidate, I ended up suffering from a much lesser level.
35 years ago at least, our Dad of blessed memory passed away. No one has ever insulted him until I joined elections for the presidency.
No one has ever doesn’t it? It doesn’t happen anywhere in the world. You don’t insult people’s parents or families. It’s a huge price for anyone to pay,” Datti said crying on the live programme.
