President Buhari has described the late Major General Tunde Idiagbon as 'a very rare example of what loyalty to fatherland and to a superior should be. Tunde was strong, loyal and extremely committed to the cause of positively changing the narrative about Nigeria, which the administration set out to do at that time'.

The president spoke today when he received APC governorship aspirants and members of the party from the three senatorial zones of Kwara State at State House, he recalled how his former deputy, from Kwara State, who, while on pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia when the administration was overthrown in 1985, insisted on returning to the country despite the political uncertainty especially as he had learnt that he, as Commander-in-Chief at that time, had not been killed in the take-over.

The President added that the late Idiagbon rejected the offer from the King of Saudi Arabia to bring members of his (Idiagbon) family from Nigeria to the Kingdom, as he was his guest at that time, and eventually returned to Nigeria to suffer arrest like he (Buhari) did.

President Buhari further enjoined Nigerians to remain faithful and loyal to the country in all their dealings.

“You don’t have to be in uniform to be loyal. What I said long ago in 1984 is still valid today. We have no other country but Nigeria. Others who feel they have another country may choose to go. We will stay here and salvage it together,” he said.

Buhari is always lucky having intelligent people deputized him

Pressing the mumu button of Yorubas. #NeverAgain

Forget talk.
Save your energy for next year because you'll be trekking to Daura

.

With the way people are cross-carperting from one party to another, loyalty is now a scarce commodity.

Even in his cabinet, there are only a few loyalists.

once a dullard always a dullard, back to daura loading

Buhari to bukola saraki......

He knows how to delegate.

He is not overbearing and allows for independence of thought and action.

Nigerians do not appreciate good things.

Look at your username, look at the topic, think about Kanu's dead dog and sit in one corner to think.

After 5mins, you'll agree with me that you'll have been better off as Kanu's bingo than a cyber miscreant that you have become.

True that. Nigerian history is replete with incidences that show that Yoruba people are quite loyal and principled.

Adekunle Fajuyi of blessed memory had the opportunity of saving his own life by giving up his guest , the nigerian head of state at the time to the killers who invaded his government house residence in Ibadan at the time, but he knew he could never do such. He was killed along with his guest whom he shielded.

Young Nigerians have missed out on a lot of Nigerian history.

Implying Osinbanjo is not a 'rare example' like Idiagbon, right? This is democracy bro, not the same military and dictatorial feel like during the old 1984 barbaric military tenure.

We were told that you were just there as a figure head you were too weak like now that idiagbon was the real engine room the moment idiagbon travelled to makkah that was when ibb took advantage of your stupidity and weakness.how true is these sir?

Loyal afonja slave...hahaha

Idiagbon would have been disappointed to see how much of a dullard his Commander in chief has become

devindevin2000:
Loyal afonja slave...hahaha

idiagbon is not Yoruba,he is a Fulani man from ilorin.
