Politics › Was Abacha A Better Leader Than Buhari: Who Would You Support In An Election? by MRAKBEE(op): 11:03am On Feb 23, 2018

Abacha and President Buhari were both military leaders. However, the former is widely regarded as a leader who stole funds meant for public goods and domiciled them in foreign accounts.
I think the positive result he achieved during his regime far outweigh his crimes.
Yes He embezzled public fund which is a common trait in African politics but he was a better leader than Buhari.
I have my reasons for taking this position.
Nigerian economy was strong and our currency had value. Abacha even refused to devalue it although the IMF adviced him to do so and even threatened to sanction him. He even stood his ground in the face of sanctions issued by western countries.
Inflation rate was significantly reduced during Abacha’s time.
The economy also grew in Abacha’s era.
The Abacha administration became the first to record unprecedented economic achievements, going on to oversee an increase in the country’s foreign exchange reserves from $494 million in 1993 to $9.6 billion by the middle of 1997. It also reduced the external debt of Nigeria from $36 billion in 1993 to $27 billion by 1997.
Our sovereignty as a country was preserved. Abacha made Nigerian Army respected. Now na small Cameroon were dey frustrate our citizens.
Nigeria was widely regarded as a potential world power due to the influence it wielded in the continent.
Abacha refused to accept a single political appointment throughout his military career, Abacha has been described as the epitome of military discipline.

Lalasticlala who would you support in an election if these two men were to contest for the highest seat of power in the country.
Nairalanders, tell us your own oh.

Rekeb:
Why is it surprising that the three former heads of state were not at the meeting. Shagari is a very old man and Babangida has challenges with his legs, so both men hardly go out. Its also not surprising that Jonathan was not there because he never cared even when he was president.

Good point. IBB and Babangida have health challenges and we all aware of that.but why do they still put up an appearance in some social gatherings and political events

Yes. I Can still remember what happened during my youth service.
My Roomie came home with one lady one fateful night and after having her in the balcony, he came inside the room and had her again few metres from where I laid to rest after a stressful day.
I had to keep my cool but I scolded him after the lady left.

Robisky001:
Good riddance to bad rubbish. Buhari got nothing down his sleeve to offer let's exchange him with Donald Trump.

Donald lost political relevance in his own state cos he stayed outta active politics and influencing who should be here and there in the state political scene. Although he had an upper hand, he rather chose to relegate himself to the background. Don became more of a celebrity after leaving office than a politician by playing the saxophone at social gatherings and hanging out with OBJ at his Otta farm.
This is typical of an average calabar man though. He is okay with what he has and wants to be at peace with everyone.he prefers to remain happy with his little goodies than cry over a loss after a careless adventure.
Don is still popular though, even more than the current governor of the state. People just like him as a person and his youthful exuberance but he ain't got a voice anymore politically. He has to go back home and water his political seeds for them to grow into useful trees.
The zoning arrangement won't work in his favour too. The North will speak with one voice against the choice of Donald Duke as a presidential candidate and won't vote for him
Nevertheless, APC will be given a hot chase if PDP chooses DEEDEE as its vice presidential candidate.

Buhari should be happy that some former heads of state still honoured him and attended. Before he became president, he never attended any Council of State meeting for many years, not even for once because of his hatred and sadistic nature

Buhari showed us his true color even before he took over the mantle of leadership and he ain't gonna change at all.
He is the best leader in his own eyes and those of his close followers.

But Thats a big blow to Buhari whether you like it or not. Three former heads of state chose to be absent from an annual meeting and you are trying to downplay the importance of their presence.the sabotage alone is capable of reducing the goodwill enjoyed by Buhari that's if there is any stil left. OBJ went to the meeting cos he is cooking up something in his political kitchen and only wanted to appear like a national hero n lover of the country.

Politics › Jonathan, IBB, Shagari Absent At Council Of State Meeting by MRAKBEE(op): 5:37am On Feb 23, 2018

When the roll call for President Muhammadu Buhari’s third Council of State meeting was taken at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, yesterday, former Presidents Goodluck Jonathan, Shehu Shagari and former military President, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida were absent.

Former Head of the Interim National Government, Chief Ernest Shonekan was also marked absent.
Three former Heads of State, Generals Yakubu Gowon, Olusegun Obasanjo and Abdulsalami Abubakar, however, attended the meeting.

Also, former Chief Justices of Nigeria in attendance were Mohammed Uwais, Idris Kutigi, Alfa Belgore and Aloma Mukhtar.

The opening prayers were said by Gowon and Uwais.
The meeting focused on insecurity in the country as well as the 2019 general elections.

Officials from the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) reportedly briefed the council on preparations for next year’s elections.

Obasanjo, who was five minutes late, rushed into the chamber when a minute silence was being observed in honour of former CJN, Justice Dahiru Mustapha.
Thereafter, the former president went straight to shake hands with Buhari, Senate President, Bukola Saraki and Abubakar, before taking his seat.

The meeting, which began at 11:05am, was also attended by Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, Attorney General of the Federation and Justice Minister, Abubakar Malami.

Before the meeting commenced, Buhari went round the Council Chambers and shook hands with his visitors.
Governors in attendance were those of Sokoto, Delta, Adamawa, Imo, Benue, Lagos, Nasarawa, Abia, Bauchi, Jigawa, Kebbi, Plateau, Kano, Wike, Akwa Ibom, Edo, Ekiti, Kogi, Zamfara, Osun, Ogun, Niger and Ebonyi.
The deputy governors of Bayelsa and Enugu were also in attendance.

Buhari shook the hand of his fiercest critic, Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State.

The first meeting under this administration held in October 21, 2015 while the second held in September 2016.

The Council of State is an organ of the Federal Government saddled with the responsibility of advising the executive on policy making.

The council, which comprises the president as chairman and vice president as deputy chairman, has as members all former presidents and heads of state, all former CJN, Senate president, speaker of the House of Representatives, all state governors and the Attorney General of the Federation.

The council’s duties include advising the president in the exercise of his powers, with respect to the nation’s population census and compilation, publication and keeping of records and other information concerning same, prerogative of mercy, award of national honours, INEC (including the appointment of members of that commission), the National Judicial Council (including the appointment of members other than ex-officio members of that council); the National Population Commission (including the appointment of members of that commission).

The council also advises the president, whenever requested to do so, on the maintenance of public order and on such other matters as he may direct.
