During the Abacha regime, Nigeria was in words and actions the true African leader. Throughout his time as head of state, Abacha never travelled outside Africa, perhaps to give effect to Nigeria’s Africa-centred foreign policy. The World Council of Mayors was hosted here in Abuja for the first and only time. Pope John Paul II was here on state visit. Nigeria was president of the UN Security Council during Abacha when the obnoxious apartheid policy of the minority white regime in South Africa was dismantled. For the first time in the history of Africa also, Abacha reversed a coup d’état and re-installed the overthrown democratically elected President Tejan Kabbah in Sierra Leone, when Nigeria’s General Maxwell Khobe successfully flushed out the Paul Koroma junta there. Nobody joked with Nigeria. Nigeria was well respected by all. http://www.eyeway.ng/2017/11/16/remembering-the-abacha-regime/ 56 Likes 7 Shares

The man was not popular with the EU, UK or US due to his brutality Nigeria was also facing sanctions from these countries So it would not have been possible to host such a dictator Don’t spin this reality into some pan African foreign policy. Abacha did not have a foreign policy and only cared about remaining in office forever 325 Likes 23 Shares |

deji68: Record high unemployment? I am confused , never before has poverty and unemployment exceeded the record of the current govt with over 79 million extremely poor people ( highest ever in human history anywhere) and over 15 million jobs totally lost yet you are part of the people still canvassing for the second for such poor performance.. Deji don't you think you are a hypocrite at this stage ... Nigeria under Abacha was a million times more secure than it is today with over 20 thousands lives lost in just 3 years to insecurity under Buhari as compared to less than 700 under Abacha ( yet you still support Buhari).. Its on record that Abacha built more hospital than the current Buhari govt and fixed more road , then our roads were safe you could travel at night without fear of being robbed by herdsmen .. Apart from rampart fuel shortage under Abacha there is no basis of comparison between Abacha and the failed Buhari you currently support. 52 Likes 2 Shares |

but he stole and kept money in those foreign countries while citizens at home suffered. I would have been more impressed if he developed nigeria. All this whitewashing won't work. Even if you are stu.pid not to know about the killings he directed. How about all the money been returned since 1999. Was he looting Nigeria as some part of a masterplan to make Nigeria great. Abacha was evil. End of story 18 Likes |
