Lessons And Challenges From Shagari's Death - Peter Obi by Olaopefola: 3:53pm On Jan 01, 2019


The Vice Presidential candidate of the PDP, Mr. Peter Obi has described the death of the former President of Nigeria, Alhaji Shehu Shagari as a national loss with so many lessons and challenges for Nigeria. Obi was speaking yesterday when he accompanied the former President of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan to Sokoto yesterday to commiserate with the family of Shehu Shagari; the Governor of Sokoto State, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal and the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar.

While answering questions from journalists, Obi said that a careful perusal of the Presidency of Shagari revealed a lot of hidden lessons. In Obi’s words: “besides the lesson in patriotism and hard work, Shagari showed us that humility, care and love should be an essential part of leadership, which is the hallmark of Atiku’s philosophy of leadership.”

Obi who described Shagari as “an urbane, compassionate, tolerant, polished politician and a leader worthy of emulation”, said some of the programmes he embarked on while leading the country, such as his “Green Revolution”, were conceived in good faith.

On the challenges posed by Shagari’s death, Obi said that the generation of Shagari is gradually passing out in obedience to the law of birth and death and that such development was a challenge to the youth to brace up for leadership positions. Insisting that Atiku Presidency understood the development very well, Obi said that the imperatives of generational shift informed Atiku’s decision that his Cabinet would be made up of over 40% women and youth if elected into office.

Recalling the excellent working relationship with his then Vice President, Dr. Alex Ekwueme. Obi said that 2019 would make it 40 years since a person from the South-East partook in the Presidency, which was largely because of Shehu Shagari and that the people remained eternally grateful to him.

The Atikulated V.P. abeg commiserate with the bereft family and save us the drama.

Meanwhile, my neighbour wife delivered twin (two bouncing baby boys). But the problem na their dates of birth.

One was born last year (31/12/2018 at about 11:55 pm and the second one this year (1/1/2019 at about 12:03 am)

Now my neighbour is confused and has been in loggerhead with the hospital authorities as to the date to registered in the birth certificates as he can't afford to celebrate their children (twins supposedly) birth on two different days and years.

I dey my house now dey wait for them to come house come share us biscuits and fanta.

Mohammed, has criticised President Muhammadu Buhari’s tribute to the late President Shehu Shagari, who passed away on Friday at the age of 93.

Buhari, in a statement by his Special Adviser to the President (Media and Publicity), Femi Adesina, had described Shagari’s death as the departure of a patriot, whose life of service and humility was widely acknowledged.

But Mohammed in an interview with our correspondent stated that Shagari had gained respect by retiring and living a quiet lifestyle, unlike some in the current political class.

The elder statesman said, “Quite a number of the people who would claim to be his friends were actually his enemies and they contributed tremendously to bringing down that government and in making it impossible for us to have a meaningful democratic dispensation years after his departure from office.”

When asked his thoughts on Buhari’s tribute, he said, “It’s not sincere. If you’ve contributed so much in bringing down a government and bringing down a man who had nothing to gain, even though he had poor eyesight and was in poor health – he was in his late 60s then – you cannot say, from 1984 till now, you got along well. How did you get along well?

“No matter what you say about the Shagari administration, he knew how to retire from public service quietly, with a tremendous amount of nobility and self-respect. You have to give him that.

“In terms of retirement and living a quiet life and garnering more respect, Shagari is certainly one of Nigeria’s most outstanding leaders and I certainly believe the nation will continue to mourn him appropriately.”

According to Mohammed, he was devastated by the news of Shagari’s demise.

He added that Shagari believed in the goodness of human nature, even when human nature was not always good.

“The first Shagari administration of 1979 wasn’t particularly spectacular. There are quite a number of people there who really disappointed us, both National Party of Nigeria and Shagari, the president. He endured a lot but he didn’t want to rock the boat, so he waited until after the election in 1983 when some the characters were simply asked to leave or reappointed.

Guys, this is very important, rivers have two heads upon which gorrilas thrive, dear nairalanders, have you ever imagined why the trees develop wheels and oceans cry? The easiest way to run is simply by feasting upon the snails with wings and nails that sweat day and night, please , also remember that illegal funds persuades local house flies to transform into impeccable witches and wizards including cloud and boxers......#think about it#

I simply learnt that Buhari is an unapologetic unrepentant Coupist.

To think he always take over from humble men only to destroy the economy and start trading blames daily.

I also personally learnt Buhari has lost his opportunity to apologise to Nigeria as the day Shagari died was his last opportunity.

I also learnt that Buhari is a hypocrite because that is how he claim to honour Abiola yet holds the man that killed him in high esteem. Its like he has excess respect for anyone that truncates democracy.
