Those of us not born or too young as as 1993, when this idiot shonekan ruled, he was put there by babangida to legitimize the brutal regime of Sani abacha, same govt that the dullard buhari worked for. Forget about the so called praises, shonekan had the opportunity to validate June 12 as interim president, but for his selfish ambition,and agreement with d millitary, he betrayed m.k.o and June 12. "Stabilize "my foot. I don't mourn or miss shonekan. NEVER. Forget the praises. Shonekan was as evil as Sani abacha, buhari and babangida.now with all d so-called power and authority, he is now sand like abacha before him. Babangida joins them in d near future.

And after Babangida joins them, u are next. U think longevity is only by age. Otondo!

"Nigeria needs young vibrant leaders not old greedy power drunk individuals who got us to the mess we currently find ourselves.

You keep complaining Nigeria is not moving forward yet you will be campaiging for an old cargo who has nothing else to offer the country than to drag us bag to stone age.

Nigeria is in such a great mess because the Youths never wise up...come 2023 a Youthful President or nothing else, ENDARS is just a warmup to what is coming in 2023 if this old men don't respect themselves.". - Village People Spokesperson

Exactly, his own brother for that matter. We go get sense someday. Na our leaders dey fall our hands for Yorubaland. No hausa would have accepted that shitt. Na to die there oo and declare MKO winner. The power was in his hands already. Coward! undecided

Military power wasn't in his hand, if he try that then he'll still booted out by military immediately.

in every government, there's always a group or faction in the military who would be loyal to that particular govt in power. Worst case , he'd arrange a couple with his allies in the military. He had the power. All he needed was give an order by deploying those he felt might wish to counter him to places where they'd have no access to the armoury. 24 hours is too short to carry out this task. He was a coward ni. Are you aware there was a coup attempt a few months ago in this country? It was foiled. You'd never know or hear about this cos it was kept in utmost secrecy. Same happened when obj was in power. He was out of the country and there qas an attempt. He simply told them they should overthrow him and when he returned, he'd get back his mandate. Shonekan would have succeeded and nothing would have happened .

It would have led to bloodshed because Abacha was Minister of Defence/Chief of Defence Staff and had participated in virtually all the coups in Nigeria from the counter coup of 1966. True the likes of David Mark wanted Shonekan to retire Abacha but Shonekan was not the Commander in chief and as such had no control over troops. When Abacha got to know of this plot by David Mark, he retired Mark and David Mark had to flee the country.

Buhari is just a criminal, so this Shonekon was alive and all those FULANI Terrorists groups were killing Nigerians and he kept quiet ?

From ibb testimony Shonekon part of his evil government, ooh we have seen how Yoruba and northern Muslims have destroy this country.

You're so correct and your writeup shows you were much aware of the goings on as of that time. Let me remind you of this, are you aware that IBB formerly handed over to Shinekan in a grand ceremony and parade? He had the powers to do and undo as of that time. He was in charge of all the forces and signed for their salary and all. Being a minister of defence is different from being the number one man. Sonekan ought to have immediately called for the appointment of a new chief of defence staff immediately he took office but he didn't. As a leader, you shouldn't be afraid of any unforseen event and that makes you a leader. That rare opportunity was what some people were looking for, to make a change. No fulaniman would have messed up such a great opportunity. Sonekan was a very soft man. Anyway that's the past. We can't change it.

u don't even understand this. Live life so that when you go, the poor masses will remember you for something good. We all will die someday. Obj and abdulsam abubakir, still remain the best and will always be supported and remembered, cos they created democracy and handed over. Same opportunity shonekan blew because of porridge. can you equate shonekan with obj or abdulsasam?
