So, Abiola sponsored IBB's coup? Not that I didn't know.
[b]So how did he expect to gain from that perfi[/b]dy?He who go to equity must go with clean hands. The rest is history.

olafolarin:

MKO Abiola financed IBB's Coup with around $10-15 Million .

IBB himself gave a little scoup into it on late Simbiat Abiola's birthday when he declared that
if not for Abiola's believe in him and his largesse,he will never become Military President.

kcng:

MY PUNCH LINE IS THAT IBB KNEW MKO WAS JUST AS BAD AS HIM.SO HE DIDT THINK MKO WAS GOOD FOR NIGERIA. THATS WHY HE ALWAYS SAYS HE DID WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS RIGHT FOR THE COUNTRY.

kcng:

Honestly i posted this question cause i have no evidence,but if i ever have the oppurtunity to ask ibb a question? men!That will be my first question.But people say it was MKO. it was also reported that he bosted about it at one of his rallies during the june 12 saga.one of mko's boy at the then national concord news papers said he was there when close to 50 million dollars was loaded into ibb's car after a meeting with mko at he's residence in ikeja during a naming ceremony of one of mko's children.But that is no excuse to annul june 12 election,cause june 12 was not about the secrets and dealings between Ibb and his partner in crime at that time MKO.It was about the will of the nigerian people who went out in the rain to vote the man they love,good or bad.

WHY DID BABANGIDA OVERTROW BUHARI? WHY WAS DELE GIWA KILLED?WHO TOLD IDIAGBON TO GO TO MECCA?WHY WAS VASTA KILLED?
Believe it or not all these question are very much related.If we dont answer these questions we will not know why we are where we are today.
As far as i am concerned there is and there was and there will never be a reason for overthrowing the so called wai war against indecipline government of buhari and idiagbon.nigerians were begining to straighting up for once.
I have reasons to believe to believe,the ibb coup was a child of neccesity.He had no choice.He had to choose between the Firing squad and being disgraced or overthrow the government. there was something dele giwa knew that we do not know till date,and we may never know.Dele giwa's driver said they were always in dodan barak to see ibb.he said there was a day they even tried to plant a bomb in there car.they told him his boss wanted to see him. but he refused to leave the car cause his boss warned him of such an attempt.Dele giwa was negociating with ibb,no dought about that,but why?jonalist die every day trying to collect money in place for exposing secrets,and many die in the process,may his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.Amen. MKO didnt like the policies of the buhari and idiagbons goverment because he's businesswas not benefiting from there government they even seized a ship load of paper ment for concord newspaper. Its is believd that it was mko that bribed the muslim clegy men who convinced Idiagbon to go to mecca at that time cause no coup would have succeded with idiagbon at home, America also supported Abiola in encouraging ibb cause buhari and idiagbon where looking like they were shifting towards socialism which didnt go down well with the west.remember it was the cold war era.It is believed in military circles that vasta's only offence was warning idaigbon to keep an eye on ibb in the presence of an ibb loyalist, who latter reported the case to ibb.this is because ibb earlier sorted his oppinion on buhari and idiagbon regime.ibb wanted to know if he would buy the idea of over throwing the government,but he was a loyal man.vasta quickly read between the line,being an intelligent man  kept his peace.since he had no evidence.But ibb latter killed his best friend cause he thought if idiagon took vasta seriously they would have caught him and killed him by firing squad.so he felt betrayed by his best friend and course mate. he roped him into a coup that till today doncad bally still regrets,that he couldnt stop the killing. cause there was no evidence againt vasta. he did nothing wrong.there is another school that believd that while serving as chief of army staff babagida's drug courier was caught,but the then government were playing politics, cause he  was very influencial and loved amongs all.the girl was yet to be trieds as far they were concerned it was only hear say.  some say that was what dele giwa knew .cause she was letter set free  after the success of ibb's 85 coup.Ibb and mko rulled our economy for 8yrs. They have secrets you can never imagine. mko was very powerfull during ibb's rain.if you remeber his son was so carried away he rufused to stop during a road block when ibb was passing,he was arrested.maybe he was to familier with ibb?Abiola was a generous man  and i love him,but he was part of the mafia. show me your friend and i will tell you who you are.
MY PUNCH LINE IS THAT IBB KNEW MKO WAS JUST AS BAD AS HIM.SO HE DIDT THINK MKO WAS GOOD FOR NIGERIA. THATS WHY HE ALWAYS SAYS HE DID WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS RIGHT FOR THE COUNTRY.NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAY I STILL LOVE MKO BUT LET US LEARN FROM HISTORY, THE BIBLE SAYS HAND MAY JOIN HAND BUT NO SIN SHALL GO UNPUNISHED. BUHARI WILL HAVE HIS REVENGE ON IBB.MARK MY WORDS.ABIOLA HAS BEEN PUNISHED AND WAS FORGIVING BY GOD IM VERY SURE HE IS IN HEAVEN CAUSE HE REPENTED. HE DIED A GOOD MAN.
