Jethro2018: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 . |

PMB are you not part of the contraption that brought him to power in an effort to pacify the annulment of 1993 election? Iro lori iro. |

Eriokanmi: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. Another one was Tinubu and Buhari since 2015 we have been in tires . |

od4life: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. 2 Likes |

DonTattaglia: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? |
