Dojupyo: How was Shagari's regime the best?? In what way exactly, please? It was riddled with corruption. Do you remember Umaru Dikko and all the rice importation kickbacks linked to him? By the time Shagari's regime was toppled, the economy was in such a bad state that Nigeria had to resort to counter trade in order to be able to service its offshore obligations and import products, for its citizenry. The slide of the naira to the dollar embarked on a freefall under Shagari's regime - the same naira that used to be stronger than the dollar under Gowon. I beg, read the newspapers of that era to make an informed decision! |

sanky346: Not really, if you look again, Tanko Yakasai said: "People said it was a quarrel between the wife of the AG leader, Chief Awolowo and the wife of the man who succeeded him, his deputy, Chief Akintola and the reason for the fight was that when Awolowo was the Premier, the allegation was that his wife was getting contracts for the supply of exercise books and reading materials in primary and secondary schools and that when he left power and was succeeded by his deputy, the wife of the deputy insisted that the contract should be shared between her and Mrs Awolowo". "People said" is not a statement of fact. This is closer to the truth: "The clash between Awolowo and Akintola divided the party into factions.. Awolowo who was the leader of the AG Party, decided to contest for a legislative seat at the federal level with the aim of becoming the first Prime minister in Nigeria, conceded the office of the Regional Premier to Akintola who was his deputy, unfortunately for baba Awolowo, he lost at the center.. Trouble started over who was to lead the government in the Western region, whether na the premier or national leader of AG... To the best of my knowledge, that was what caused their clash which led to the declaration of state of emergency in the region by the Federal Government" 1 Like |
