To escape from Abacha....

"I disguised with a huge turban and babanriga and escaped into Benin Republic on a motorbike. My old Hausa friend gave the clothes to me. In fact, when I appeared to Kudirat Abiola, she didn’t know that I was the one! I gave her some information and some briefing. I left at 1 a.m. While in Benin Republic, I was still coming to Badagry to ferry people, organise and coordinate the struggle with others on ground. We put a group together, ferrying NADECO people across. It was a very challenging time. I can’t forget people like Segun Maiyegun and other young guys in the struggle. I would come from Benin to hold meetings with them and sneak back. The military created a whole lot of momentum around me. They took over my house, guest house and carted away all my vehicles and property to Alagbon. That is why today, I don’t have old photographs. They took eight of my cars away" Bola Tinubu.

This is in response to the below thread!

Bc he is an afonja coward

Same reason others fled the country between 1993 and 1998. I hope OP knows Ojukwu is no civilian.

Why did Ironsi and Fajuyi die when they were shot?

If the question is absurd, then you would understand why the 2IC could not exert authority with mutinous soldiers pointing a gun at him and asking him to resign his command.

You would also understand why an oblivious Major Hassan Katsina pledged loyalty to a gun wielding Nzeogwu when their parts crossed during the January 1966 coup.

Una. No go kee person for nairaland..

Yoruba ati igbo..

Nyamiri are as
ungrateful as they come. Your coward ass enjoy the democracy for which Yorubas risked their lives... Comparing Ojukwu & Tinubu is as stupid as Biafra..
Truth is mine*

he is on the run again. Running before the fight starts

Yes a typical Yoruba guy 'll run to fight another Day. Soldiers do defence and offence simultaneously. I hate Tinubu though! But that man's rich and influential.

So why diss Ojukwu for running after fighting when you run before the fight??

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Fled because he doesn't want to get the MKO Abiola treatment.

Afonja another name for marathon. Ask Usain Bolt.

Theufnubu ran like a mad dog

Ojukwu as a military man wasted 3 million lives and fled to ivory coast how can u compare such person to Tinubu, Tinubu didn't waste any life

He's a fighter. Not fight to die, but live to fight another day
