Hilda’s political views don’t matter; what matter is that she brought pride and fame to all Nigerians including those who stood on the opposite side of her opinions. I’m glad to see her being celebrated by the supporters of Sowore, Asiwaju & Atiku. The spirit of patriotism is still alive despite differences in political opinion.
