GenBuhari: I have no respect for Abiola.

The guy it seemed wanted to rule Nigeria at all costs.


Rumour has it that he sponsored the coup to overthrow Shagari, because Shagari did not hand over the presidency to him in 1983; that he sponsored the overthrow of Buhari, when he learnt that Buhari was too non-corrupt and would not give him and his newspapers any preferential treatment.

Babangida was meant to hand power to him, but they fell out sometime during June 12th elections and Babangida decided to annul the election, and fearing for his life, Abiola quickly left the country until Babangida was forced by angry public riots to step down and install Ernest Shonekan as an Interim civilian President.

With Babangida in retirement, Abiola returned from exile and urged /sponsored Abacha to overthrow Ernest Shonekan. When Abacha seized power, Abiola met with him and probably agreed a time table for Abacha to handover the presidency to him.

When it became obvious to Abiola that Abacha had no intention of relinquishing power, he became furious and declared himself President and for several weeks went around the country forming his own parallel government.

Not surprisingly Abacha eventually arrested Abiola.

After a few weeks Abacha gave Abiola a chance to be released on bail on condition he does not leave the country, Abiola declined.


Abiola the man who fraternised with the military and sponsored many military coups, was eventually killed by military man Babangida after Abacha was secretly poisoned.

There is a saying that goes: "If you ride on the back of a bear, you may eventually end up in its stomach"
