Abdulsalami Alhaji Abubakar pronunciation (born June 13, 1942) is a retired Nigerian Army General who was military President of Nigeria from 9 June 1998 until 29 May 1999. He succeeded Sani Abacha upon Abacha's death. It was during Abubakar's leadership that Nigeria adopted its new constitution on 5 May 1999, which provided for multiparty elections. Abubakar transferred power to president-elect Olusegun Obasanjo on 29 May 1999.

I consider this man the father of Nigeria's democracy. And since he left power,he has been quiet and very state man like.

Happy Birthday Sir,you have earned my respect.

It was this man that gave us the useless 1999 constitution. Him and that Ijaw man called Niki Tobi

But he tried anyway.

The General wasn't greedy about power. Did what he needed to do and left quietly. Even if he'd looted, successive government have continued to look the other way as compensation for returning Nigeria to democracy.

Happy birthday General!!!

Re: Abdulsalami Abubakar Celebrates His 74th Birthday Today by Nobody: 8:44am On Jun 13, 2016
This man midwifed the birth of the fourth republic. He was so eager to leave power that he was literally begging Falae to drop his court case. One interesting fact is: he was the parade commander the day Obasanjo handed over power to Shagari in 1979, twenty years later, he handed over power to Obasanjo as a democratically elected President--Obasanjo has been a very lucky man although he has never acknowledged this...May you see more of this day, Sir.

IBB, SARAKI, GEJ AND OBJ can be the biggest thieves in Nigeria, but this guy is the FATTEST AND SMARTEST thief of them all.
Within a time frame of six months, he stole almost the same amount ABACHA stole with four years.
What saved his ass is the easy/non-violent transfer of power from military to civilian government that he allowed.
He has never in anyway attracted the media because his own style is "chop and clean mouth"

Karma is still alive....

Yes we share the same Birthday with the General! Happy Birthday to me!
Thank you, God, for giving me another year of life. I really appreciate my life even more because of the maturity of my mind and the
reflection of my heart towards GOD and why
am i existing in this world. Forgive me for the hours I wasted, for the chances I failed to take, for the opportunities I missed this past year. Help me in the days ahead to make this the best year yet, and through it to bring good credit to myself, happiness and pride to my loved ones.

HBD, architect of modern Nigerian Democracy. Despite your many faults, Nigerians, will forever be grateful to you, for selflessly handing power over to a civilian democratic government. Also, when you were called upon, by Nigeria to help save us from a selfish, greedy myopic old power monger, you didn't relent. I wish you LLNP.

Father of demo what? The man who killed chief MKO Abiola. cry He refused to release Chief MKO from prison after Abacha's death, south western leaders urged him but this satan you called father of democracy remained adamant until Chief MKO was poisoned., his CSO was there the day the Chief was poisoned, very soon Al-Mustapha will reveal the truth in his book.
