PoliticsRe: Nigerians Boo Obasanjo On Emirates Flight.... by kubi240: 8:15pm On Nov 25, 2013
Chelcy: Former Nigerian three-term president,
Olusegun Obasanjo was booed on an
Emirates flight 783 from Dubai to Lagos
on 14 November 2013.
Obasanjo was returning from a business
trip in Dubai when his countrymen gave
him an unfriendly welcome on the flight
with boos and invective.
The Nigerians had been waiting on the
cue to board when they were asked to
make way for the First Class premium
passenger. Eager to board “sharp
sharp” (hurriedly) the Nigerian way, the
Economy class passengers protested that
after Obasanjo took them hostage for
over 10 years as President of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria, they were not so
ready to step aside to make way for him,
to control them from the “passenger
seat”.
Obasanjo first came to power in Nigeria
through a military Coup d'Etat on 13
February 1976. He handed over power to
Shehu Shagari on 1 October 1979
following democratic elections after two
years in power. He went into private life
as a farmer and traditional chief in Ogun
State. He came back from retirement
and contested elections winning twice to
become civilian President from 29 May
1999 to 29 May 2007.
Nigerians blame him for most of their
woes as they claim he is the Godfather
of all Nigerian Presidents since the
1980s. They see his weight behind most
past and present presidents of Nigeria.
They have not also forgiven him for
raiding and burning down the house of
Fela Kuti, the late popular highlife
musician. Fela and his family were
beaten and raped and his mother,
political activist Funmilayo Ransome Kuti
was thrown out of a window to her
death.
Ikechuku, one of the passengers from
Enugu, returning from a business trip to
India, said Nigeria needed to fight a war
before democracy; human rights and
governance would come to the country.
He said the three regional divide of the
country represented in a Y is a bane that
could only be corrected by a war. Merit
will only be respected in Nigeria when
that happens.
Nkechi, another passenger on the
Emirates flight touted him that Nigeria
has been undergoing a perennial
warfare since the Biafra war. Ikechuku
waived her aside and said that was a
political war with just one region, Biafra
fighting the rest of the country.
Obasanjo did not settle on his seat in the
First Class. He stood up and went round
the plane as if to test his popularity.
Nobody stood up to challenge the
political juggernaut of Nigerian politics,
nor did they try to stop him.
I asked Obasanjo, from my seat, if he
was not afraid of being assaulted by an
irate passenger. He was leaning over me
screening my face as if looking for a lost
friend.
He showed me a Rastafarian walking
behind him saying, “He takes care of
me.” He also added that he is a survivor
of many attempts on his life and was not
scared of a few boos.
Obasanjo escaped death on 13 February
1976 when Army Colonel Dimka
targeted him and General Murtala
Muhammed in a Coup d'Etat. Murtala
was killed but Obasanjo and Theophilus
Danjuma, chief of army staff survived.
Obasanjo was appointed Head of State by
the Supreme Military Council.
Obasanjo spoke out against human
rights abuses during the dictatorship of
Sani Abacha between 1993 and 1998. He
was arrested and imprisoned for his
participation in an aborted coup. He was
only released when Abacha died
suddenly on 8 June 1998.
Obasanjo believed since he became a
born-again Christian in prison, no
weapon fashioned against him shall
prosper. The bodyguard with the looks
of a joker was a resolute buffer between
the former President and any attacker.
A middle aged man stood up to follow
the former president and he was
promptly barred from getting too close.
Former African presidents usually feel
uneasy going around on commercial
carriers. Some retired with private jets,
and if allowed the luxury of a retirement
flew on them. For most, contemplating
retirement and returning to civilian life
was unnerving. Such presidents will
prefer to die in power than deprive
themselves of the luxuries attached to
the presidency.
Probably conscious of the uneasiness of
a former president in retirement,
Obasanjo provoked a controversy when
he planned to revise the constitution to
allow him to run for a third and fourth
term. Obasanjo is credited to have
ushered in democracy with the 1979
Constitution of the Second Republic
styled after the Constitution of the
United States of America. Yet the
trappings of absolute power blinded this
visionary of Nigerian politics to want
more than two terms in office and
probably a life presidency.
Nkechi intimated that if Obasanjo had
appeared like that in an airport in
Nigeria, he would have been pelted with
rotten eggs.
Emirates flight 783 from Dubai landed at
Murtala Mohammed airport in Lagos
Nigeria at 12:15 p.m. Obasanjo checked
out without any further booing or
pelting..
u ar a lousy liar
