“We get into council at that time and the Minister of Planning Ayo Ogunlade….You know in council, you put on your mic and you speak. So he now puts on his hand and got up to speak. Abacha said ‘sit down’.

“He said ‘No sir, I want to stand up and speak’.

“First of all, you don’t say ‘No’ to Abacha. So the guy insisted on standing up and Abacha says, ‘Ok, stand’.

“So, the man now turns around and says, ‘Secretariat, I want you to record everything I am saying here’.

Everyone was like ‘anh..anh. They do that normally. So why are you emphasizing it?

“This man went on to praise Abacha to high heavens.

He said ‘Nigerians don’t know what they have. He said, ‘God sent you at this time to save our country’. I mean it was so bad, Abacha told him, ‘sit down’.

Afonja!

The Reuben abati, and the femi Adesinas. Truthfully Aso rock was designed in a way to shell in the president from outside world, this gives opurtunity for "jackals and hyenas" to constitute a powerful cabal. Even Buhari only gets a chance to speak his mind outside Nigeria to foreign press. In my opinion I think the president's residence and the presidents office should be located a little far from same location. The presidents office should be in the federal secretariats, this would enable him move around and see abit of people he is governing on a daily bases
I think Presidential CCTV should installed across strategic locations all over the states and routed to the president office ...... grin

Even at FedSectariat , he can only see Abuja now ..... while sycophants will be everywhere !

My President.

The man who sacked Hon. Tooti (his commissioner) and bosom friend just because he released money for contracts and the man used it to buy Hummer SUV (is that not a great example of corruption fighting?).

I say this any day, though I am not from Cross River or South South but after him, Cross River has not gotten a Governor.

He is young, educated, nonreligious (Grail Message), articulate, non-tribalistic, and the list is endless. He might be the best candidate from PDP.

Zoning, tribalism, and turn-by-turn won't allow Duke to go anyway near the presidency.

The "owners of Nigeria" designed the country so they control it. It is why northerners cried during Jonathan years because they thought they're losing that tight grip on Nigeria, eventhough they dominated Jonas government and were building schools and roads in the north while the SouthSouth waited.

The Yorubas supported the north, in exchange for second-place crumbs. Buhari is tightening that grip again by dominating government institutions with fulanis. All appointments go to them today. The armed forces they control. NNPC they control. Every critical appointment go to them. This is how the fulanis and core northerners see Nigeria, as their private property.

We can stop this madness. But, ofcourse the struggle for second-class citizenship between the Yorubas and Igbos is why Nigeria will remain doomed forever! A Donald Duke presidency remains a dream.

If he had resigned then someone else would replace him and if all the good people(not saying he's a good or bad person just talking generally) continue to resign then you'll be left with an all evil government which in my opinion may be woorse than it is with a few good people trying their best.

Duke is one of the criminals who benefited under Abacha and subsequent governments, he is a thief by all accounts.

Very insightful, but when Duke said, Abacha abhor Corruption, I laughed, Abacha was CORRUPTION. He stole this country dried. Imagine the amount of money been recovered from him at every moment. Someone once said every time Hell becomes hotter for him he shows where he kept some money

Ibb made alot of people rich and alot of people owe him favors for that bt abacha came to stop the party and improve the condition of the masses sadly he missed it cos he was also dealing with his enemies. Abacha cut alot of big mens wings back then who stole from the nation in Ibb's era. Even ibb was afraid bt didn't bother him sofar he behaved himself.
