Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, on Wednesday lambasted President Muhammadu Buhari for claiming that he was removed as the then Head of State for attempting to fight corruption.


Buhari had made the claim while commissioning the new office block of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in Abuja, yesterday.

But reacting , the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain insisted that Buhari was equally corrupt.


Fani-Kayode, who took to his Twitter handle, wondered what could be more corrupt than the alleged coup staged by Buhari in 1983 against a “democratically-elected government.”

He wrote, “Yesterday @MBuhari lamented about how he was detained for 3 years in 1985 for “fighting corruption”. He forgot that he staged a coup d’etat in 1983, toppled a democratically-elected govt. and stole the Presidency and entire treasury. What could be more corrupt than that?

“If his coup had failed, he would have been court-martialled, tied to the stake and shot for military insurrection, mutiny and treason and not just put under house arrest for 3 years.

“He should count himself lucky and not talk about history because he has much to answer for.”

Saint BUHARI

Buhari definitely has a mental problem

Really let's leave zombiesm and wailler affiliations.


What is if that brought Buhari in as president had failed?

What would have happened to him, under military law?

Nwamaikpe is more popular than Seun and Lalastica on nairaland.

I, Brigadier Joshua Nimyel Dogonyaro, of the Nigerian Army, hereby make the following declaration on behalf of my colleagues and members of the Nigerian Armed Forces.

Fellow country men, the intervention of the military at the end of 1983 was welcomed by the nation with unprecedented enthusiasm. Nigerians were unified in accepting the intervention and looked forward hopefully to progressive changes for the better. Almost two years later, it has become clear that the fulfillment of expectations is not forthcoming.

Because this generation of Nigerians and indeed future generations have no other country but Nigeria, we could not stay passive and watch a small group of individuals misuse power to the detriment of our national aspirations and interest.

No nation can ever achieve meaningful strides in its development where there is an absence of cohesion in the hierarchy of government; where it has become clear that positive action by the policy makers is hindered because as a body it lacks a unity of purpose.

It is evident that the nation would be endangered with the risk of continuous misdirection. We are presently confronted with that danger. In such a situation, if action can be taken to arrest further damage, it should and must be taken. This is precisely what we have done.

The Nigerian public has been made to believe that the slow pace of action of the Federal Government headed by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari was due to the enormity of the problems left by the last civilian administration.

Although it is true that a lot of problems were left behind by the last civilian government, the real reason, however, for the very slow pace of action is due to lack of unanimity of purpose among the ruling body; subsequently, the business of governance has gradually been subjected to ill-motivated power play considerations. The ruling body, the Supreme Military Council, has, therefore, progressively been made redundant by the actions of a select few members charged with the day-to-day implementation of the SMC’s policies and decision.

The concept of collective leadership has been substituted by stubborn and illadvised unilateral actions, thereby destroying the principles upon which the government came to power. Any effort made to advise the leadership, met with stubborn resistance and was viewed as a challenge to authority or disloyalty.

Thus, the scene was being set for systematic elimination of what, was termed oppositions. All the energies of the rulership were directed at this imaginary opposition rather than to effective leadership.

The result of this misdirected effort is now very evident in the country as a whole. The government has started to drift. The economy does not seem to be getting any better as we witness daily increased inflation.

The nation’s meager resources are once again being wasted on unproductive ventures. Government has distanced itself from the people and the yearnings and aspirations of the people as constantly reflected in the media have been ignored.

This is because a few people have arrogated to themselves the right to make the decisions for the larger part of the ruling body. All these events have shown that the present composition of our country’s leadership cannot, therefore, justify its continued occupation of that position.

Furthermore, the initial objectives and programmes of action which were meant to have been implemented since the ascension to power of the Buhari Administration in January 1984 have been betrayed and discarded. The present state of uncertainty and stagnation cannot be permitted to degenerate into suppression and retrogression.

We feel duty bound to use the resources and means at our disposal to restore hope in the minds of Nigerians and renew aspirations for a better future. We are no prophets of doom for our beloved country, Nigeria. We, therefore, count on everyone’s cooperation and assistance.

I appeal to you, fellow countrymen, particularly my colleagues in arms to refrain from any act that will lead to unnecessary violence and bloodshed among us. Rest assured that our action is in the interest of the nation and the armed forces.

In order to enable a new order to be introduced, the following bodies are dissolved forthwith pending further announcements: (a) The Supreme Military Council (b) The Federal Executive Council (c) The National Council of States. All seaports and airports are closed, all borders remain closed.

Finally, a dusk to dawn curfew is hereby imposed in Lagos and all state capitals until further notice. All military commanders will ensure effective maintenance of law and order. Further announcements will be made in due course. God bless Nigeria.



Please is there any difference between the situation Nigeria was described in the bolded speech above, and the 3 years of catastrophy, redundance and hardship we've experienced with Buhari under this Apc govt?

This kayode bastard must be an uncircumcised goat. Shehu shagari won the most controversial election ever conducted in Nigeria

Yesterday @MBuhari lamented about how he was detained for 3 years in 1985 for “fighting corruption”. He forgot that he staged a coup d’etat in 1983, toppled a democratically-elected govt. and stole the Presidency and entire treasury. What could be more corrupt than that?


God bless you fani kayode while he continues to punish your enemies with hard labour.

Nigerians couldn't have said it better.

I wonder how a man can claim integrity when he has Never been held accountable for mutiny and treason against the Federal Republic of Nigeria since 1983.

Beautiful.
History is everyone's witness.
It's deja vu all over again.

Buhari is totally bereft!

He was equally denied US visa for several yrars becos he offered to help America fight kworoptsion

Blackfire:
Really let's leave zombiesm and wailler affiliations.


What is if The Coup that brought Buhari in as Head of State had failed?

What would have happened to him, under military law?

Simple, He Would have been Tried in a Military Tribunal, Convicted and Shot, Period.
Buhari was even Lucky that He Went no Where near Dodan Barrack during the Coup, there was this Brig.Gen from the North, I have Forgotten his exac name, who took it upon himself to go and Inform President Shehu Shagari about the Seemingly Successful Coup or Change in Government, Shagari sounded an Alarm and Soldiers who were loyal to him Killed the Brigadier there on the Spot.
Just like GEJ, to avoid further Bloodshed, Shehu Shagari quietly gave up later in the Day.
Dec 1983, I have already done my O level Exams With A1 in History, so I know what I am talking about, Buahri Dare not Dare IBB, He is a Small Boy Where the Evil Genius Is.
It Might also interest You to Know that Buhari is the Last Nigerian Head of State to have Been Successfully Overthrown in a Coup, all other Coup Plots since the August 1985 Coup which brought Babangida in have all "FAILED", it shows how Weak Buhari has always been and will always be.
I Feel Sorry for his Followers, they can't really point at One Tangible thing this Man has ever Achieved in his Life but they are ready to drink "Mud Water" for him.
