Shagari’s son Aminu apologises to Jonathan, knocks Buhari



Aminu Shagari
Aminu Shagari, three-term House of Representatives member and lawyer son of the late President Shehu Shagari, has apologized to the former Nigerian president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.

Aminu said he helped to bring down Jonathan’s government to ensure Muhammadu Buhari emerged despite that as a military officer he led a coup that dethroned his father in 1983.



Mr. Shagari, who was president between 1979 and 1983, passed away on December 28, aged 93. He was removed in a military coup led by Nigeria’s current president, Muhammadu Buhari.


Years after, Mr. Buhari was elected as a civilian president in 2015 and while preparing to run for another tenure in 2019 he traveled to Sokoto to pay a condolence visit to the family of the former president.

He also ordered that flags should be flown at half-mast for three days at all military formations and public places in the country.

After his visit, Aminu called him out Buhari by stating that the President never gave “words of comfort” during his visit.

He said: “We didn’t hear such because he didn’t say anything. We gave him the condolence register. He only signed and put the date. Personally, I was very disappointed with that. I expected that at least, as Muslim, he would write, ‘May Allah forgive him and may Allah forgive us when our time comes.’ That makes me extremely disappointed in him.”


And in a recent interview with Punch, Aminu stated that Buhari has not contacted his family or deliver the promises to immortalize their father.

“I was never contacted and the Presidency has not contacted our family, to the best of my knowledge. Nothing has changed; the only thing I remember is that, at a campaign rally in Bauchi, after his visit to our father’s residence in Sokoto, prayers were offered for my dad. This probably was an afterthought following the backlash that followed his (Buhari) mere signing of the condolence register, with no written or verbal condolence message.

“This is somebody we really supported, campaigned for and mobilised people for his election because we obediently adhered to our father’s dictate to forgive and let bygone be bygone. The same Muhammadu Buhari, in the condolence letter he gave the state governor (Aminu Waziri Tambuwal), promised to immortalise our dad. Close to two years after his death, he has yet to fulfil his promise. Whereas he recently named certain landmarks after some Nigerians who are still alive, including former President Goodluck Jonathan.

“Let me use this opportunity to tender a public apology to former President Jonathan and seek forgiveness because I helped to divide the Peoples Democratic Party and bring down his government, but, I have found out that what we thought about his stewardship was not entirely true. I expect President Buhari to also ask for forgiveness having found out that most of the things he accused my dad’s and President Jonathan’s administrations of are not true.”

Speaking on the current state of Nigeria, Aminu said “I am very disappointed.” He noted that Nigeria’s only hope is in good governance.

“I believe if we get it right in this aspect of our national life, our story would turn from bad to good within a short time. With emphasis, all we require is a credible and sincere leadership that will maximise our God-given talents and resources. A lot of us committed so much to bring this administration on board. As an individual, I assumed that, if nothing else, we would get the issue of security right, and every other thing would follow.

“Unfortunately, our security situation has degenerated from bad to worse and the President has refused to listen to every voice of reasoning. Rather, he has turned a deaf ear to what people are saying and insisted on keeping the service chiefs.

“Just recently, the government slammed the entire citizenry with a double post-COVID-19 assault – fuel price hike and increase in electricity tariff, without considering the income of Nigerians. With the minimum wage, in the face of the depreciating value of the naira, how do you expect an average Nigerian worker to survive, meet their family’s financial needs, and be happy?.

Aminu said he helped to bring down Jonathan’s government to ensure Muhammadu Buhari emerged despite that as a military officer he led a coup that dethroned his father in 1983.

.. YOU GO KNOCK TIRE

this one eye just open, but still there are some foolish zombies here on NL shouting sai baba

Keep your apology
Both are failures

Aminu Shagari is a man with poor Judgement ...So after seeing the damage Buhari did to your father's achievements and Nigeria Economy in the 80s you still went ahead to elect him ? Shagari family were the first high value victims of Buharis lies and incompetence and so they should should have known better than support him for any Election

"I expected that at least, as Muslim, he would write, ‘May Allah forgive him and may Allah forgive us when our time comes.’ That makes me extremely disappointed in him.”

When will Muslim know that prayers for a dead person is totally useless?

It’s funny how people think Jonathan or PDP are the solution to Nigeria’s problem
Igbos will be acting wise by agitating fir restructuring or a separate country until you see all of them flock around PDP or Jonathan as if he’s the messiah

Everybody eye don open.Reality is more clearer now.
Change is gone.Next level is here.Ndi zombies another IPOB have repented.

Common sense is not so common anyway. Enjoy ur change

So because Buhari didn't give you money for your father's death he is now a bad person?

Through your father's influence you have been in the corridors of power since 1999 thereby making u a rich man yet u r not happy.

Kitikpa rachapugi anya

The self centered son only changed after realizing his brother Buhari does not give a hoot about them

Okay. The apple does not fall far from its tree. Thus idiot us as stupid as his useless father. Anyway, Alex Ekwueme with his PhD still accepted to be VP to semi-literate Sheu Shagari just because Igbos are scared to face Yorubas in a general election.

Supermugu:
.. YOU GO KNOCK TIRE

Goatluck already turned himself to Buhari's errand boy

Buhari has a rogue followership who accepts whatever Adesina, Garba And Lai Mohammed churns out without analysing or critically examining it.
Lai would tell them that they are better fed now than when Jonathan was president. They would applaud and jump for joy despite the fact that most of them have not eaten for 3 days.

They are planning to ursher GEJ for 2023. no mind dem... i don't blame them sha.. na disunity of south i blame.

Buhari is a wicked unfortunate human being. This is why every time he becomes a leader, those he governs suffer. 1984 when there was acute recession, can you imagine people were using saw dust to cook? Buhari and Jonathan are not the same things. One left fuel price at N87, Bag of rice at N8000 at most, Queens meal at N450, Paint of garri at N400, a peace ambassador, a PhD holder and was selfless he considered the north before his people which people term "Stupid ". The other is a failure, banned Shehu Shagari from ever contesting an election, truncated Democracy, As a military general caused recession, didn't update himself academically or skill wise for 30 good years, Never had anything to offer, deceived the Yoruba people because of their selfishness, clamoured for restructuring which he later abandoned, only built schools and took projects to Daura, Raised fuel price and is proud of it, Comparing his useless leadership with that of Saudi Arabia, paint of Garri is N900 or N1000 in some places, Yam is more expensive, has a government who has stolen more than any government in the first five years, Queens meal bread is N600, Travelled more than any President for health tourism, banned protests.
FROM MY POINTS ABOVE, TELL ME WHO IS THE BIGGER FAILURE.

Day don break abi?
