Why Babangida, Gusau Removed Me From Power – Buhari by PhockPhockMan: 5:09pm On Jul 24, 2016


President Muhammadu Buhari has said he was removed from office 31 years ago because he was planning to purge the military hierarchy of corruption.
Mr. Buhari, who has not spared the military even in his ongoing anti-corruption war, said senior military leaders, led by former military president, General Ibrahim Babangida and General Aliyu Gusau, removed him in August 1985, to save themselves from his wrath.
In an exclusive interview published in the current edition of The Interview magazine, Mr. Buhari challenged Messrs Babangida and Gusau to tell the truth on why they carried out the coup against him.
“I learnt,” he said, “that Aliyu Gusau, who was in charge of intelligence, took import licence from the ministry of commerce which was in charge of supplies and gave it to Alhaji Mai Deribe.
“It was worth N100,000, a lot of money at that time. I confronted them and took the case to the Army council in a memo…I wanted Gusau punished.”
In a statement on www.theinterview.com.ng, the Managing Director/Editor-in-chief of The Interview, Azu Ishiekwene, said, “This is one edition that won’t let sleeping dogs lie.”
Mr. Babangida had told The Interview in its December edition that there was nothing in the memo which Mr. Buhari said he submitted to the Army council.
“Don’t forget that I was one of Buhari’s closest aides. I was the chief of army staff. So, I had an important position, an important role to play within that administration. I don’t think it had to do with a memo,” Mr. Babangida said.
But in a tone which revealed that the past may neither have been forgotten nor forgiven, Mr. Buhari challenged Messrs Babangida and Gusau to come clean on why they removed him, asking The Interview to choose whose story to believe.
He also fielded questions about his health, the 2016 budget, the pace of his government, former President Goodluck Jonathan and why Babatunde Fashola was handed three ministerial portfolios.
The edition also features interviews with Liberian presidential hopeful, Winston Tubman, and retired Justice Dahiru Saleh, the controversial judge whose court nailed June 12.
And in an interview which indicates that the battle for 2019 could be well and truly underway, pharmacist and rotarian, Mike Omotosho, reveals his ambition for the Kwara State Government House.
His road map would give rivals sleepless nights, Mr. Ishiekwene said.

Rubbish. Nigerians are more interested in their future than the past of one or two greedy individuals.

Buhari was removed for incompetence and tribalism, any other narrative is an attempt to skew the history books.

31yrs later same thing is happening all over again.

There was more to Buhari's removal than just the memo. The coup speech by Abacha encapsulated all that was wrong with his government. That's why no other change took place in the composition of the SMC save for the appointment of Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe and then Major General Sani Abacha as the Chief of General Staff and Chief of Army Staff respectively.

Errrm, let me tell you one thing you fail to realise- your attempt at "famzing" is DOA.

I can still remember your "trench coat" days and the concave tv days- remember?? You are to me what you were then, only difference is the passage of time.

Since you couldn't tell the difference between a suit and a trench coat referring to the later as an "oversized suit", I pretty much doubt you'd know what the word "inconsequential" means- because that is how I see you and always will.

We no belong to the same category at all- NEVER will.

Bye.





Modath, saw you back there. cheesy Mbok leave that guy before bursts a spleen on account of your taunts abeg. cheesy

This time he will removed by nature and God himself. The only people enjoying his governance are his daura sycophants, family members and the idiiotic ricetivists who are paid to deceive the gullible on social media.
