Buhari Without Idiagbon Exposed More Than Familiar Traits

The advantage of a multi-ethnic or multiracial environment endears us to strive for the optimum character in human potential. Different ideas and ideals are brought to bear in management and smooth running of any organization or business. The problem with dictatorial tendencies is the creation of fear that stifles free and diverse opinions that help the leadership. Buhari, if he cares, is paying the price of lack of diversity at the top.

There was a country under General Buhari. It came to order under Operation War Against Indiscipline within a flash. Operation WAI was so oppressive many people of goodwill complained it was too harsh. Older people that younger folks had to get up for on the bus or allow to go in front of the line in banks, had to line up and wait for their turns. It was un-African as respect for our elders went out the window.

Anyway, Buhari was firmly in charge and his orders were implemented with uncheerful alacrity through Idiagbon. Nigerians knew that the Military regime was not pleasant but given a choice between the way their country was going down and a rescue mission by the military, they welcomed the Army with some reservations.

O gosh, respect for the elderly online was the least of all the problems with discipline; since some people disappeared in the name of Idiagbon. He was so ruthless, nobody close to him would dare ask for favors or indulgence in his name. Idiagbon was terror! But Buhari/Idiagbon brought sanity back to the Country in 1983 after the reckless decadence of the Civilian Government of Shehu Shagari that had been confirmed in the 1979 inconclusive election won by law that divided a state into two-third.

In spite of the iron hands of the Army, most people welcomed the change from impunity to unpalatable discipline. The Country was losing everything from substantive economic growth to the importation of junk and luxuries resulting in the waste of Foreign Reserves and talents. Folks were no longer using their brains since they could make easy money from political connections, unfulfilled contracts, petty selling and buying of anything foreign.

The overthrow of Buhari in a palace coup by Babangida, while Idiagbon was out of the country in Saudi Arabia, left an indelible mark on Buhari's psyche up to today. Indeed, that is the reason all his security chiefs and confidants are from his kitchen cabinet closer to his home. But his success as a disciplinarian that won him election came largely from Idiagbon from Kwara State, watching his back.

The irony was that the overthrow of his regime as a dictator came mostly from his Northern cliques. Today, a familiar clique of Services Chiefs has taken him hostage going against what elected him. Forget about his wife's reservation of them, Buhari cannot change his Service Chiefs, even when they cannot defeat Boko Haram.

The fear expressed by Buhari’s wife Aisha was recently confirmed by his National Security Adviser, Major General Babagana Monguno (rtd). He claimed that those that did not work for his election are “strange” people like Chief of Staff Abba Kyari that were meddling in Security affairs in the Presidency. He called on the Service Chiefs to stop taking his orders!

Soldiers had expressed their indignation over Amnesty granted to Boko Haram miscreants roaming the Country killing Hausa and minority farmers in the North, spreading and asserting their privilege to kidnap, maim, kill and rape women with impunity in the South. No country can stand united under such injustice condoned by the Authority that was expected to punish them.

The mayhem of Boko Haram that started in Churches, against Southerners has now metastasized against Northerners killing minorities and the Hausa majority without any solution in sight. The reason is that the minority Fulani led the Government granted free entry without a visa into the Country once they show up (usually from the Northern border) where Fulani from other countries get a free pass.

Despite the fact that Buhari admitted that those creating problems by maiming and killing Nigerians are foreigners penetrating our borders. The same Nigerian borders are closed in the South. So Buhari has lost the credibility on security and discipline that brought him to power by declaring Nigerian borders open to known terrorists from other countries despite cries against them from other parts of the Country.

Even worse, his fight against corruption is now in doubt. The USA recently refused to release Abacha loot since the receivers were part of the Abacha team that looted it in the first place. There is no reason to release looted funds into the hands of the same people that looted it. Foreign countries know it is going to be looted again.

This was the same country that fought a civil war without borrowing a kobo, controlled access to foreign currencies and trade. The door is suddenly thrown open for Abacha and his team of looters to recover what they lost in foreign countries.

It was a false choice between Buhari and Jonathan. When you have the choice between two evils, Nigeria remembered the disciplinarian of 1983. Those old enough to vote and made the choice between Jonathan and Buhari knew the Country was going down like it did under Shagari. Under Jonathan, they remembered Buhari coming to the rescue.

They also knew he was a dictator then and might return as one again. But the excesses of Jonathan and the impunity of his ministers were too much to bear. Buhari has grown old and lost his courage to fight corruption and terrorists. This is not the time to regret the choice of Buhari, it is time to let leaders know, they will be thrown out once the aspiration of the people has been betrayed.

If you remove Kyari, the unapologetic coupist might not even remember his name.

As it stands, nothing we can do again.

Cos removing President kyari will simply bring in another vulture.

We know how this problem was foisted on Nigeria.

The first culprit was GEJ whose incompetence pushed Nigerians into this mess.

Second is Tinubu whose Presidential ambition blinded because there is no way he won't know Gen Buhari have lost it.

Thirdly, the educated illitrates all over the country who believed Gen Buhari was a messiah represented by profs Sagay/Soyinka.

Fourthly, National Assembly that were not serious with electoral reform which paved way for the massive rigging conducted by APC and PDP in 2015 and 2019.


Finally, all the eligible voters with single digit IQ who voted Buhari.

That's all

We are in for a longggggg ride.

Thanks

That can only mean osibanjo is nothing and can't give same energy as Idiagbon

Why do you make it seem like Shagari govt was a a huge failure and Buhari a Redeemer ? Stop spreading that false Narrative please , Buhari govt in 80s failed woefully with no single achievement, not a single capital project implemented , not a single hardware bought for the military , not a single power plant initiated , the regime brought about wide spread inflation ,poverty and hopelessness just like it has today ..

No Nigerian president equipped our military like Shagari , under Shagari the Nigerian airforce was the most equipped in Africa left for Egypt and South Africa. , Most the the old Alfa jets we use to fight today where bought by the Shagari govt ..Buhari came didn't build one class room or even dispensary and now you want to make it seem like he achieved something ... Buhari has always been incompetent and the only reason he is not sacking his service chiefs is because they have really assisted him with his sociopathic dream of Fulani expansionism ... You people don't know the demon you are dealing with ..keep making excuses for him

With the level of disappointment Buhari brought especially to people who closed their eyes and voted for him thinking he would return sanity like he did before, you may have a point. You cannot hide your bias though.

Buhari/Idiagbon instilled fear of Chi, Sango or Allah depending on your belief, on Nigerians. He refused to accept IMF Structural Adjustment. It was the first straw not the last straw that brought African countries down. All the devaluations that followed, he expressed reservation. Though we label him an illiterate, all the London School of Economics, Harvard and University of Toronto trained economists have not answered his only one question:

To show him one country in Africa that has ever recovered from devaluation.

You can imagine how disappointed people were when we heard bag of suitcases full of money entered Nigeria at the Airport. Compare that to today as bag of suitcases full of foreign currencies leave Nigeria.

We can criticize Buhari for his weakness and still try to be objective.

Please, do not confuse younger people, Nigeria started going down the tube after the excesses of Shagari. They produced the first billionaires in a country Umaru Dikko claimed was still flowing with milk and honey while poor people ate from cabbage bins in the United States.

People are still hung up on the Buhari Idiagbon and Murtala scam era when there was limited or no information and media scrutiny and integrity was based on perceived radical approach to governance. Get over it already! Nigeria was never without corruption even with the founding fathers! A United and prosperous country cannot be developed upon a corrupt, bigoted, nepotistic foundation!
