Happy birthday to one of Nigeria's most respected leaders of all time.

The funny thing is that no ethnicity or tribe has issues with him. His acceptance cuts across all tribes in Nigeria.
The first time you have said something without hate and bitterness. Keep it up son

Your last paragraph honour should go to OBJ
HBD to Abubakar
OBJ was actually rejected when he was begging for a 3rd term.

Abdulsalam did his 6 months and left despite pressure for him to continue.

All these people in the pictures could not develop Nigeria meanwhile only two persons developed UAE,Dubai, only One person developed Singapore
Well, to cut him some slack.
The situation around his leadership did not allow for much governance. National cohesion and stability was the objective then and a swift return to democracy. It was more about politics than governance.

However he and his colleagues could have done a lot more with the inadequate Constitution bestowed on this country.

He, above every other living leader had the best opportunity to restructure this country because at the time the destructive forces of ethnicity and religion besetting this country were evenly matched by a dire need for cohesion and solidarity to prevent total national implosion.

It was at this juncture he could have constituted a national conference to chart a new way forward. No one or any group will have resisted a restructuring. That opportunity he missed.

So history will praise him for resisting the temptation to extend military rule but rather more circumspect about a country he had every opportunity to restructure before handing over.

Those fundamental problems he could not tackle are front and centre of our challenges as a nation today, problems our kind of democracy is just not equiped to handle.

He could have run for presidency at anytime and nobody would kick against it but he chose to be one of the king makers, wielding power in the shadows. The higher calling.

No, he could not.
The Presidency had to go to the South West for reasons we all know too well. After that it was purely a civilian thing, totally out of his control on e he dropped the khaki. Anyway he was never that charismatic, even as a military officer.

That pressure could have led to a complete breakdown of law and order. He made the right choice. International sanctions were crippling the economy and it was only matter of time before we will be blocked from selling oil which will have meant complete disaster. No military government after Abacha will have survived without serious violence.

It was reported that he opened the CBN vault and looted or packed cash in foreign currencies.
Re: Abdulsalami Abubakar Celebrates His 84th Birthday Today by dederocs(m):
What sacrifice did he make for the country?

As a northerner, he can't save those almajiri children's future or security of the north by ending almajiri system when he had power, he couldn't speak against sharia law, which scares away investors and shut down alcoholic beverage companies that help stimulate the economy of a state, create jobs and VAT. Today north has sharia but has highest poverty rate, has the most terrorists and have the highest number of poor and abused children, when they marry children and give them out to begging racketeering squads, in the name of almajiri Islamic pawn.

Abdusalam is one of the five Northern leaders who destroyed Nigeria's economy.

In 1979, Obasanjo handed over to Shagari: 19 ships, 22 aircraft of Nigeria Airways, functioning refineries in Kaduna and Port Harcourt, VW, Peugeot, Steyr, Steel Rolling and Machine Tools in Osogbo.

When he returned in 1999, just 20 years later, from Shagari to Buhari to Babangida to Abacha to Abdusalam, he met 0 ships, 0 aircraft, two refineries, VW, Peugeot, Steyr, Steel Rolling and Machine Tools, all grounded.

Anyway,
Happy 84th Birthday
At least he handed over power to civilian government .
