Daniel Kanu, The Abacha's Era Youth Political Mobilizer by MEGAWATCH(op): 11:54am On Mar 20

Daniel Kanu was a prominent figure in the 1990s during the regime of Sani Abacha. He led the Youth Earnestly Ask for Abacha (YEAA) campaign, which organized massive rallies urging Abacha to transform from a military ruler into a civilian president.

What happened to him after Abacha?

After Abacha’s sudden death in 1998, Daniel Kanu’s political relevance declined sharply. His visibility faded along with the collapse of the Abacha political structure.

Later developments

Legal troubles (early 2000s): Daniel Kanu was arrested and prosecuted over allegations related to financial fraud and illegal dealings involving a bank.
He was convicted and imprisoned for some years, which further pushed him out of the public spotlight.

Life after prison

After serving his sentence, Kanu largely withdrew from national politics and public attention. Unlike some other figures from that era, he did not successfully reinvent himself in mainstream Nigerian politics.

Where is he now?

There is very little recent public information about Daniel Kanu. He is believed to be living a quiet, private life, away from political prominence.

Why did I post this?

Just to remind our brothers and sisters today that political sycophants rarely end well. Power is temporary, truth is constant.

If not sycophancy, why will anyone support General Abacha?

Make we wise up.

Do you have light in your area?

It is part of the journey of man. Some gamble and lost while some gambled, failed and reinvent themselves. There are many people that supported Abacha that did not sink after Abacha. It's politics, power is never given to anyone you have to fight for it. In that process, some will sink, swim and many will fly.
I don't think his problem was supporting Abacha, his problem was criminality that leads to his imprisonment. You can fight for power without getting involve in criminality. There are many that serve in Obasanjo, Yaradua, Jonathan and Buhari regime that is going about their life without been drag to court while there are many been draged in and out of the court.

The same as Tinubu, Obi and Atiku. They are all fighting for political power. None of them is better than each other in that respect.

I think we need to allow people retire in peace, this idea that 'retirement = miserable life' is precisely how you end up with grifters.

He played the game and he lost because he couldnt predict that Sani Abacha would die so suddenly.

Check those people very well who succeeded if they were so Vocal in supporting Abacha openly.

Too much of everything is always dangerous.

Whatever you are supporting, be very careful that you are not against the side of the people who wants things to go well.

And also add, Nnamdi kanu, Peter Obi, Dele Momodu ati bebelo.

Even the late biafran warlord, Ojukwu was a syncophant too, who was all for Nigerian unity when his homeboy was HOS but the moment things changed, he became a (pseudo)freedom fighter, overnight.
