If Gowon is from the east he could have boast about it when Obasanjo was president

See your useless English.

Anuofia is abacha alive to be asked if true true or not

Who be boss between them ?
Is obj not the senior colleague?

That reply sounded as if Obasanjo doesn't believe he did that... If he travelled all over the world thanking those that pleaded on his behalf, he's wondering how come nobody told him Gowon also did same until Gowon said so yesterday... Lol

Abeg, Tinubu and the senate should pass the tax reform bill this week... You see the speed they used to pass that old anthem to become the new anthem bill, let them use the same speed for this bill

Abacha was the alter ego of the north. The need to dominate absolutely made flesh. It was surprising they themselves frown at it n the end. Maybe not this obvious way abacha was presenting it. They kill him. The northern elite. Who better to take him out than his own. every tribe else was too terrified to do a thing. Lion are the biggest killers of lion in the wild. So yes obasanjo would have been killed. But thank God he was t. Abacha rather was.

.maybe the north want power always but not in a perverted tyrannical manner. They want it always but with a democratic face so at least the world cam shake their hands as member of a global community of men who want power always democratically

Gowon are sure of what you are saying,because you say the same thing that you reconciled with ojukwu at C.C onoh burial the father of bianca ojukwu which the brother of bianca said you meet ojukwu at the burial by coincidence.

Yes you might not know or geard about it because not everything someone says out sometime base on what is on ground.

Mind you sir its not only Gowon that begged on your behalf the Ooni of Ife, egged on your behalf, Alafin did same and Sultan of Sokoto also did same by pleading on your behalf if not by now you would have be in your grave. You remember Abacha na hard core man no playing no joking.

......like I knew that Baba Shege will reply Gen. Gowon ......😁😁😁

Lol ppl too dey use igbo pplna dey cash cruise here, why na aba

How is he more useless or less useless than Obasanjo who failed to prosecute and convict the killers of his AGF for six years after the act, until he left office.

Instead of prosecuting anyone, he made the highest suspect a senator from prison.

Maybe Obasanjo’s nonchalance about Bola Ige’s death encouraged killers of Engr. Funsho Williams in the run up to the 2007 Lagos election that political neophyte Fashola won, to continue Tinubu’s a-looter master plan

You were the governor of Oyo State at the time Chief Ajibola Ige was murdered. What was your experience then?

It was a bitter experience. That very day was a Sunday. It was the day we had our Christmas carol at the Government House. It was a norman Sunday; everything was going on fine. The carol came and went from 4:15 to 6:00pm that day. And then everybody dispersed. As if I got a signal of what was coming, my speech that day was centred on security in Oyo State. I called on the Commissioner of Police and the Inspector General of Police to strengthen security in Oyo State because an old school mate, Engineer Adegeebo, had been assassinated near his house in Bodija a week earlier.

Every cleric went home and I retired to Government House. I played for some time. Then I went to my room to treat some files. I was doing that when suddenly the phone rang. It was land line we were using then. The operator said that somebody wanted to speak with me. Then I picked the call and it was a brother to my deputy. He said he was asked to tell me that Chief Bola Ige had been shot by some unknown assassins. I was confused immediately. I didn’t know what to do. But later I regained my strength and quickly went down without telling my wife what was happening. It was 9:55 pm. I sent for my PS because all the ADC and other security staff had gone to their places of abode. I told him to drive me in one of the private cars. Inside the car, I told him that Uncle Bola Ige had been shot by some gunmen, that I was going to check him at Catholic Hospital, Oluyoro. The man who informed said Ige was taken to Oluyoro.

The place I have been treading for over 60 years, I remember that I lost my way. I was just going round and round until I gained my consciousness again. Immediately the gateman saw me, he quickly opened the gate. There, we saw Uncle Dele Ige, who was already rolling on the ground. I went straight to the room where Bola Ige was lying. I saw marks of bullets on his body. He slept with his face up. He was somehow breathing but the breathing was abnormal. I saw where the bullet penetrated on the left side. I saw it myself. Uncle Bola Ige was wearing shirt and trousers. And I saw Muyiwa standing by the side of the bed. He was wailing. He appealed to me, saying: ”Uncle, please tell the doctor to wake up my Daddy. Tell him. The doctor can do it.” Then, I approached the doctor and asked him the situation. The doctor called me to one side and told me that he was dead. He said: “Sir, Your Excellency, Uncle is gone. There is nothing we can do. They shot him straight in the heart. He asked me not to tell Muyiwa.

I almost betrayed my emotion when I got back into the room where Uncle was lying with Muyiwa beside his bed. I just quickly gathered myself and told Muyiwa that I was going to see the head of the hospital. That was how I bolted away. I came back to the Government House to inform Mr. President, who was Obasanjo at that time.

By the time I was going upstairs to my room, to try and tell Operator to phone Mr. President for me, the phone was already ringing. When I got into my room, it was still ringing. I quickly picked it up and it was Obasanjo.
He the Operator said the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria wants to talk to you. Then I asked him to put him on.
The question Obasanjo just asked was: “Is he certified dead?” I said: “Yes sir.” Then he dropped the phone. That was all. That was my experience. I can never forget that experience.

A man who hardly sees beyond the nose.

A few years ago, Gowon cried out loud that state creation exercise which he started in 1967 was ultimately abused by his successors to create a super political class in far north Nigeria.


Obasanjo; don't mind that Gowon. Gowon has always been an absent-minded man.

Whytelyon:
See your useless English.

But this guy what's your deal?

From supporting Wike against Siminialayi Fubaria in a state you have not visited in your life, you are now trying to mock Igbo people. I can now clearly see that you're gravitating towards being a bigot.

Please change your ways. Stop this foolish Yoruba vs Igbo thing you guys do here.

Gowon never intercepted in Abacha's rift with Obasanjo.

Gowon messed up Nigeria's political structure and governance system. Obasanjo tried to rectify the structure and system through his National Political Reforms Conference in 2005, but it was too late; because before 1996, Northern military dictators had taken onto Gowon's state creation and had already proliferated 20 new federating units (states) in one northern region but allowed only 17 federating units (states) in the 2 southern regions. Drawing Representatives from the 36 states and Abuja to the Political Reforms Conference amounted to retaining the skewed and lopsided political structure and governance system. In fact, any attempt to restructure Nigeria politically in the National Assembly or in any Conference shall return to the political status quo. Nigeria in a political quagmire is a creation of Yakubu Gowon.

Gowon is old and some of his comments shouldn't be taken that seriously.

How many years did it take him to make this comment, which Obasanjo didn't even know of?

The same People that destroyed Nigeria
