Good thing he was removed

It's not a democracy if he won't allow people to vote their choice, but would rather impose his VP.

I can say that this is totally false, because Shangai was overthrown 3months after he won re-election. So there was still a huge nearly 4 years before another election.

If Shagari had been a Christian, the narratives would have been that Buhari overthrew him because he was a Christian. I don't like Buhari's leadership style and behaviour, but it's time we citizens refused to allow politicians to use our heads to play betting, using tribal or religious inclination, like Obiano is trying to now.

You have leave them, let them believe whatever they want. Ekwueme was probably a contender but Shagari was weak and may not have the final say on who will be NPN candidate in 1987. It will probably be anyone from the south from Akinloye to Ekwueme to Wayas, (even ogbemudia who would have been the best candidate if NPN ever had any notion of progress). Abiola left NPN in 1981 after he was informed he had no chance of winning in 1983, part of the reason was also Akinloye was gunning for the position in 1987. But the Dikkos, the dantata's the rabius had more say on who they will finance in 1987 than anyone from the south. The NPP and NPN accord had collapse in 1982 and for Ajaokuta, Olusola Saraki made money from Ajaokuta kick back from Fougerolle, but what has Nigerian benefited from Ajaokuta, while the NPN party wigs were laughing there way to the bank, Nigeria are still importing steel

Your standard of living have been progressively decimated by the criminals governing you.

But that is not important as long as igbos don't rule you.

From the CBN to AMCON, SEC, ministry of finance, igbos pioneered them all,built them in our image, and made them functional.

They have already governed you in ways that matter.

Elsewhere on this site, I noted that we don’t teach history in our schools anymore. Otherwise, the current generation would have learned about the atrocities committed by these enemies of the Nigerian project being passed off as heroes.

This was not really true as Shagari then was just 4 months into his second term when he was disposed by the Buhari/IBB/Abacha coup of Dec.31st.1983.

wetin u sabi sef?
shagari had 100% confidence in ekwueme.
a man he has worked with the previous four years, u think he was not thinking of his successor just because it was still four months into his second term?

is buhari not doing same even though he has not finished his first term?

Shehu Shagari planned to hand over to Ekwueme as president – Gov. Obiano
Joe Chukindi Joe Chukindi
2 mins ago

The Anambra State governor, Willie Obiano has said that after late president Shehu Shagari, Nigeria would have had a president of Igbo extraction in Dr Alex Ekwueme.


Obiano, in a condolence message for the departed former president, said Shagari had planned to hand power over to Ekwueme but the plan was thwarted by a military coup that ousted him from office.

Obiano, speaking through Don Adinuba, Commissioner for information & Public Enlightenment, said, “Ex President Shagari worked effectively with Dr Ekwueme to give Nigeria a participatory democracy that accommodated all sections of the vast country from 1979 to 1983.


“Shagari’s belief in Ekwueme led to his re-nomination of the renowned architect, historian, town planner, sociologist and philosopher for the second tenure which they won before the military tragically truncated democratic rule.

“But for the military coup, Shagari had placed Ekwueme on the saddle to succeed him as President which would have effectively put an end to the marginalization agitations following the civil war.”

Obiano said that Shagari’s insistence on excellence also led to his appointment of a number of gifted Anambra indigenes into key public office, citing an example with Dr Fidelis Ezemenari, who was made the the founding CEO of the landmark Ajaokuta Steel Complex.


In the education sector, Obiano said former President Shagari led the charge in converting the College of Arts and Science at Oko in Anambra State to a Federal Polytechnic. He authorized the provision of requisite infrastructure to make education quite qualitative in line with the dreams of Ndi-Anambra and other Nigerians.

The release also read, “It cannot be forgotten that the fallen Nigerian leader was responsible for initiating the use of primary school enrolment as a criterion for allocating national resources, a move that benefitted Anambra State and the nation greatly.

“To crown his efforts as a Nigerian nationalist, ex President Shagari granted pardon to not just General Yakubu Gowon who was living in exile in the United Kingdom following charges of complicity in the bloody february 3, 976, coup attempt, but also to the erstwhile leader of Biafra, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, who was living in exile in Cote d’Ivoire for his role in the Biafran Revolution.

“This was a watershed exercise central to national reconciliation. Anambra State and indeed all patriotic Nigerians cannot thank Shagari enough for this courageous feat.

“The love of Shagari and Anambra State was mutual. Nigeria’s first president, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, led his Nigeria People’s Party (NPP) into a working accord with Shagari’s National Party of Nigeria (NPN) to steady the ship of state of Nigeria’s then nascent democracy in 1979.”

Obiano is partly correct. Though not the only or full reason. I have written about it over the years on Nairaland.
Buhari didn't want OBJ to even hand over power to civilians in 1979. But was powerless against senior SMC members like Yar'Adua, Danjuma, etc.

A move that made OBJ to deny Awo the presidency. The decree that governed 1979 election provided that if no candidate in presidential election got the clear majority and the top two were too close to call, the Parliament will chose the president. Awo had secured majority support in parliament and would have been nominated, OBJ retroactively changed the rules after election to allow the one with highest votes become president and handing it to Shagari.

OBJ feard an imminent coup if he handed power to a fellow Yoruba man. He thought he had secured democracy.
I had investigative journalists as relatives back then.
Everyone expected the coup on independence day which was also presidential inauguration day on October 1st 1983.

Solomon Lar had confronted Buhari who was GOC in Jos, about coups rumours months earlier. Umaru Dikko's contacts in the military had hinted him about the coup. Buhari denied the rumour.

Dikko was later kidnapped in UK by Buhari for it as Head of State. Forget corruption gist.

Surely the prospect of Ekwueme taking over if Shagari should die also frightened Northern elite. Remember Biafra war ended just 13 years earlier.
