Sharaaaaap!!! Compare Abacha with ur current President that Kills Nigerian Masses on Per seconds Per seconds Billing with his Unfriendly Economic Policies

Abagworo: Abacha may have his flaws but became a tyrant because he was trying to stabilize the country amidst unnecessary opposition from greedy politicians and military men. You cannot call Jonathan a tyrant because he's fighting Boko Haram. Remember NADECO and other political terrorist groups that sprung up then. The 1st bombing in Nigeria was done by NADECO. The media was not fair to Abacha. Though young then, I was a witness to the construction of link roads to Buguma and Degema via Ogbakiri in Rivers State which was hitherto visited by boat. No one else has succeeded in linking Riverine communities by road except Abacha. He already planned a long link road joining Bonny to Port Harcourt. Why do you people think there is a very important road in Port Harcourt known as Abacha Road?

Above all, he created Bayelsa State.

Pukkah:

Why are you doing this? Why are you standing history on its head? So NADECO was the one that planted the bomb in Dele Giwa's parcel in 1986? Eh?

So, according to you, who in NADECO planted the bomb? Were you around during the Oputa panel and the revelations that came from Abacha's henchmen and messengers of death - Sergeant Rogers, Katako, Al Mustapha, Yakassai etc?

Abagworo:

In response here is a wiki excerpt. Though wikipedia could be modified.

The National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) was formed on May 15, 1994 by a broad coalition of Nigerian democrats, who called on the military government of Sani Abacha to step down in favor of the winner of the June 12, 1993 election, M. K. O. Abiola.[1] The members mostly came from the southwest of the country.[2] They quickly became the symbol of mass resistance against military rule.[3] On June 11, 1994, using the groundwork laid by NADECO, Abiola declared himself president and went into hiding. He reemerged and was promptly arrested on June 23.[4]

On 17 November 1994, the first anniversary of Abacha's coup, a bomb exploding in Lagos airport. In response, NADECO leaders warned "it will be a disaster, not only for Nigeria but for the whole world, if Nigerians come to the conclusion that only violence will secure the attention of the international community."[5]




So tell me how someone will form a group and tell a sitting military President to step down in favor of there preferred candidate whose election had already been annulled by a former President. Then went ahead to bomb the country and expect him to keep quiet. Imagine where Northerners who believe Buhari won the 2011 elections decide to form NADECO and declare Buhari President, do you think Jonathan will just step down?
The media gave Abacha a bad name.

caseless: Big and bold dickson! As at 96 abacha was already givin close 17% 2 ND, he linkd roads and bridges in d ND. Rawling killd sum ppl b4 ghana cud b gud 2day. If he(abacha) had killd OBJ, do u tink we'd hav gon thru wat we'r witnessin snce 1999? Hail abacha!

shine-eye:
If the report is true, then Governor Dickson is surely thinking with his anus. What thought does the name SANI ABACHA conjure in the national psyche of Nigeria. Abacha represents the absurd, the monument of corruption and epitome of dictatorial tyranny. If all these are not enough for Dickson to look for another fellow to bestow honor on, then there is something terribly amiss in the philosophy of the man. How the hell did we come to have these kinds of morally bankrupt people in high places?

caseless: U need 2 hear his finance ministr speak b4 u knw diz pple ar jst tagin him bad. So wat he killed saru wiwa?Didn't yaradua order d police or army 2 kil moh'd yusuf? wat was saru wiwa doin dat was differnt frm dat of d slained BH leader?He killd chiefs too

ACM10: If Abacha is still the president; Edwin Clark, Asari Dokubo, Tom Ateke, Government Tompolo will be rotting in grave.

virusdacramil: Nigeria beware....another Gooluck in the making...seems nothing good comes out of that part of the country..except Militants,Alamiesia and Badlucks??

fat stan:
This is a bloody show of shame, we don't have to be told but this is another of Mr Ps pet project. It stinks of his doing even if its hidden behind "The Ijaw people" I thought stupidity was unique to Mr Presidents but now I know it's an Ijaw thing. They should get their head out of his ass and think for themselves.

Late Gen Abacha was not only a tyrant but also a corrupt leader. Creating a state or not the fact remains he is bad news. Why don't they name some of the houses after Al Mustapha and Sgt Rogas. They are even going to immortalise DSP Alams for goodness sake that guy should be in jail.
