Seun and his moderators should please verify further and if confirmed put this on the front page.

I understand Seun may be favourably disposed to PDP/GEJ but we shouldn't allow facts to be messed with and turn to lies.

Seun, do your part towards our nation building.

Some of my colleagues who witnessed it know its the truth...Shagari was overthrown, but not by buhari. Buhari was unanimously picked by group of senior officers which included Babangida, Abacha, Abdulsallam, David Mark, and other senior officers. Babangida later maradona him out of office based on babangida's corruption allegation from buhari.

Those of us that are old enough to remember know that the story below is absolutely true.

Buhari was the General Officer Commanding 3rd Armoured Division in Jos during the coup. He was not involved in the planning nor the execution of the coup. After it was successful, those that carried it out were searching for a senior officer with the highest level on integrity in the Nigerian Armed Forces and Buhari was unanimously adopted.

The notion that he planned and overthrew Shagari is a lie. I don't necessary support his candidacy (and I don't think Tinubu is worth the soil he stands on) but can't stand this lie that has been repeated again and again.

Another thing to note. Shagari/Ekwueme were good men. But those who surrounded them (ministers and governors) with a few exceptions were rotten to the core. The government collectively had basically overseen deterioration of Nigeria's economy from 1979 to 1983.

At the time Buhari took over, our Debt to GDP ratio had exploded, the economy was in free fall, salaries were not being paid and corruption was taking off. The IMF and World Bank asked Buhari to devalue the Naira. He refused. He also instituted austerity measures which are painful but necessary (like bitter medicine).

I look back now and I am confident that if Buhari had not in turn been toppled by Babangida and Nigeria had just three more years of his administrations leadership, we would not be here today. Those four years would have been damned painful but at the end of it, Nigeria would have been set on a proper course. I believe this strongly.

I feel sorry for Buhari as it seems history is repeating itself. IF he is elected (and its still an IF), he will be facing similar macroeconomic problems as 1983 and will have to be the one to take tough decisions that he is not responsible for. Considering how short term minded populations are (not only Nigeria, but globally) by December 2015, Nigerians will be blaming him for the economy.

Just like they are blaming him now for overthrowing Shagari and causing the economic problems of 1983-onwards.

=======================================================

1984 Coup! Former president Shehu Usman Aliyu Shagari speaks:
.
Buhari did not overthrow my
government, its was when those boys that overthrew our government were looking for someone with integrity, honesty and fairness to be the head of their government that was when Major Gen. Muhammadu Buhari's name came in, it was Gen D.Y Bali that mentioned
his name, and all of them agreed, Gen Tunde Idiagbon was asked to
announce his name when he "Buhari" was not even there, i thought he was in India for a course, Shagari explained that those who overthrew his government were, Major General Tunde Idiagbon, major general Ibrahim babangida, major, commodore Augustus Aikhomu, Nureni Yusuf, Brigadier General Sanni Abacha, DY Bali, Col Oladayo Popoola.
.
Shagari said to react to allegation
leveled against Buhari that he overthrew democracy and he want to be elected under the same democracy he truncated 32 years ago.


^^^^Muhammadu Buhari has denied his role in
the December 1983 coup however the
example of the late Major Bamidele
betrays Buhari's complicity in the
December 1983 coup. Nigerian military
historians Max Siollun and Nowa Omoigui
note that when Major Bamidele got wind
of the coup to oust Shagari, Bamidele
reported the issue up the chain of
command to his GOC 3rd Armored
Division (Major General Buhari) who was
allegedly in on the plot. To prevent
Bamidele from leaking the plot, Buhari
ordered the arrest and detention of
Bamidele for 2 weeks. Bamidele wasn't
released until the successful execution of
the coup. Learning from this unfortunate
experience, Bamidele didn't report any
rumors of the so-called Vatsa coup
(between 1985 and 1986) and was
executed for it.[21] Bamidele's words to
the Special Military Tribunal that tried and
convicted him are
'' I heard of the 1983 coup planning, told my GOC buhari who detained me for two weeks in Lagos. Instead of a pat on the back i recieved a stab.

^^^^ APC minions shud tell anoda lie. This one wont sell buhari's candidacy.

It that's the case, why did Buhari say he has no regret doing what he did?

Besides, Datolee has put the records on this straight about officers giving the position of the head of state to the man of integrity. I hope to find the link.

When would people learn to allow buhari to speak for his self?

Buhari was on Al-jezera and he said he has no regret about the coup and some one here is saying something else in his defence.

If Buhari was truly a man of integrity then he should have rejected the sweet fruit (Head of state) that came out of a bad process (Coup de tat)! A true man of Integrity would reject the Result of an undemocratic coup, but no Buhari grabbed the opportunity and started killing Nigerians anyhow!

There is no way Buhari would escape from the punishment he deserves for what he did to Nigerians in the 1980's.

Your heroes obasanjo and ibb are the coup plotters

If IBB can be denied another shot for the post of presidency, simply because he annulled June 12. Then GMB should suffer even a worst fate for truncating democracy through a coup!

Finally, someone had quoted Max Siollun earlier. If you are here ranting and raving, please research Max before continuing.

Here is what had to say about Buhari

=======================================================
FOR BETTER OR WORSE?

Ironically, the same people who prematurely rejoiced at Buhari and Idiagbon’s downfall are the same people who today recall their tenure with nostalgia. If Buhari and Idiagbon had been allowed to stay in office for as long as Babangida did, they would have changed Nigeria forever – for the better. As usual, Nigerians have only themselves to blame for creating the circumstances that led to their downfall.

Journalists who thought that better times lay ahead post-Buhari need only recall the murder of Dele Giwa to see how wrong they were. The prisoners who thought that life would be less harsh under Babangida and Abacha should recall the consistent harassment and death of Gani Fawehinmi and Moshood Abiola respectively. People complained about the draconian Decree 2 of 1984 – the State security (Detention of Persons) Decree which permitted the Federal Military Government to detain any person considered by the Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters to be a security threat, for up to three months without charge or trial. Civil liberties organisations fumed and breathed a sigh of relief when Babangida took over, expecting Babangida to repeal Decree 2. Babangida not only retained it, but extended the detention period under Decree 2 to six months and used it to detain those civil liberties and pro-democracy movements that had welcomed his assent to power.

Those that felt that Buhari and Idiagbon were too “harsh” for imprisoning corrupt public officials, executing convicted drug dealers and armed robbers, should ask themselves whether they are proud of the fact that the average European cannot point out Nigeria’s location on a map, does not know its capital city, but “knows” that Nigeria is a country where corrupt people, drug dealers and other criminals come from. Those that criticised the WAI for attempting to militarise civilian society need to ask themselves whether they prefer the undisciplined, corruption infested society that is Nigeria today.

Nigeria missed a golden opportunity to change for the better.
