His team even as a Military Ruler 1. Head of State Muhammadu Buhari 1984–1985 2. Chief of Staff Tunde Idiagbon 1984–1985 3. Defense Domkat Bali 1984–1985 4. Agriculture Bukar Shuaib 1984–1985 5.

Works Patrick Koshoni 1984–1985 Buhari was overthrown in a coup led by General Ibrahim Babangida on August 27, 1985 and other members of the ruling Supreme Military Council (SMC) ostensibly because he insisted on investigating allegations of fraudulent award of contracts in the Ministry of Defense. If that investigation had been carried through, it is believed that many senior military officers would have been implicated. Buhari's insistence on this investigation was to become his fait accompli. A Palace Coup was planned and carried out by Gen Ibrahim Babangida and some senior military officers whose necks were heading for the chopping block following the conclusion of the investigation Buhari served as the Chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund, a body created by the Government of General Abacha, and funded from the revenue generated by the increase in price of petroleum products to pursue developmental projects around the country. His transparent and efficient handling of this agency endeared him to Nigerians. |
