Don’t mind the Ogogoro drunkard Obiano.

AFTERALL, THIS ZOMBIE CALLED WILLIE OBIANO KNEW NOTHING ABOUT NIGERIAN POLITICS UNTIL PETER OBI WITH HIS POOR JUDGEMENT RESURRECTED HIM FROM RETIREMENT AFTER HE WAS REMOVED FROM FIDELITY BANK.


ALL OBIANO KNOWS ABOUT IS handling WOMEN AND REQUESTING FOR CUCUMBER VIDEOS FOR HIS ENTERTAINMENT AS WAS THE CASE IN THE MISS ANAMBRA CHIDIMMA OKEKE CUCUMBER SAGA. HE SPONSORED THE SHOW.


THA DRUNKARD KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT SHAGARI AND EKWUEME, AND SHOULD KINDLY RESTRICT HIMSELF TO WHAT HE KNOW BEST, WHICH IS PRESENTING HIMSELF TO HIS ROFOROFO WIFE TO TEAR HIS SHIRT IN PUBLIC.


THE ROFOROFO AGBERO EBELECHUKWU OBIANO HAS BECOME A CURSE TO OBIANO FAMILY, BANNING ALL THE GOVERNORS RELATIVES FROM ENTERING THEIR AGULERI RESIDENCE DURING THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON.

SHE HAS VIRTUALLY RENDERED THE PATHETIC DRUNKARD AN OUTCAST IN HIS FAMILY DESPITE BEING A STATE GOVERNOR, AND A LAUGHING STOCK AMONG ALL SOUTH EAST GOVERNORS WHO MAKE JEST OF HIM IN THEIR MEETINGS. THIS IS THE REASON HE IS ALWAYS FOND OF SENDING HIS DEPUTY TO THOSE SOUTH EAST GOVERNORS MEETINGS BECAUSE SHAME DEY CATCH HIM.

ZOMBIE GOVERNOR.
Is too bad that Anambra people are being governed by somebody of this poor calibre who have poor character and low morals. This is one of the problems of alcoholism.

To me this is a distorted history that dies not hold water. Who is shagari to determine who succeeded him? Nigerians are not fools.

JuanDeDios:
You dey mind Obiano. He pulled this one out of his backside thinking Shagari was some powerful and dominant president like Obasanjo was.
Obiano was just trying to whip up unfounded sentiments against Buhari. PMB had saved the nation from an imminent collapse as hawks hiding under Shagari were killing the socio- economy ,and were about declaring a funeral before PMB struck! Go and read Shagari's " Beckoned to Serve" where he admitted his administration made huge mistakes.....a case of democrats being toxic to civil rule.
Truth is Shagari was a humble and experienced leader with a meek mien which rogues took advantage of.

I can say that this is totally false, because Shangai was overthrown 3months after he won re-election. So there was still a huge nearly 4 years before another election.

If Shagari had been a Christian, the narratives would have been that Buhari overthrew him because he was a Christian. I don't like Buhari's leadership style and behaviour, but it's time we citizens refused to allow politicians to use our heads to play betting, using tribal or religious inclination, like Obiano is trying to now.
But GMB’s coup gave GMM-IBB-Abacha who looted our nation dry. They borrowed from IMF and Paris Club and co without paying back, they ran our refineries down and started TAM contracts to their cronies. They spent $bn on Nitel and only produced 400k lines.. the list is endless

. Go and look for and read the memoirs of Mustafa jokolo former emir of gwandu and Buhari's ADC, he said in that book that they overthrew shagari because 1987 would have been too early for an Igbo man to be President and they had to do it early into shagari's second tenure to avoid suspicions, even shagari was aware of the coup before it took place but didn't want to arrest the plotters to avoid bloodshed. Research well without biase the truth will be revealed to you.

This is old news Obiano, yet you joined the other warrant chiefs to ask for the only group protecting their people’s interest to be proscribed. No need to now look for Igbo hero status now....


NO TO ELECTIONS 2019

Shehu Shagari planned to hand over to Ekwueme as president – Gov. Obiano
Joe Chukindi Joe Chukindi

The Anambra State governor, Willie Obiano has said that after late president Shehu Shagari, Nigeria would have had a president of Igbo extraction in Dr Alex Ekwueme.


Obiano, in a condolence message for the departed former president, said Shagari had planned to hand power over to Ekwueme but the plan was thwarted by a military coup that ousted him from office.

Obiano, speaking through Don Adinuba, Commissioner for information & Public Enlightenment, said, “Ex President Shagari worked effectively with Dr Ekwueme to give Nigeria a participatory democracy that accommodated all sections of the vast country from 1979 to 1983.


“Shagari’s belief in Ekwueme led to his re-nomination of the renowned architect, historian, town planner, sociologist and philosopher for the second tenure which they won before the military tragically truncated democratic rule.

“But for the military coup, Shagari had placed Ekwueme on the saddle to succeed him as President which would have effectively put an end to the marginalization agitations following the civil war.”

Obiano said that Shagari’s insistence on excellence also led to his appointment of a number of gifted Anambra indigenes into key public office, citing an example with Dr Fidelis Ezemenari, who was made the the founding CEO of the landmark Ajaokuta Steel Complex.


In the education sector, Obiano said former President Shagari led the charge in converting the College of Arts and Science at Oko in Anambra State to a Federal Polytechnic. He authorized the provision of requisite infrastructure to make education quite qualitative in line with the dreams of Ndi-Anambra and other Nigerians.

The release also read, “It cannot be forgotten that the fallen Nigerian leader was responsible for initiating the use of primary school enrolment as a criterion for allocating national resources, a move that benefitted Anambra State and the nation greatly.

“To crown his efforts as a Nigerian nationalist, ex President Shagari granted pardon to not just General Yakubu Gowon who was living in exile in the United Kingdom following charges of complicity in the bloody february 3, 976, coup attempt, but also to the erstwhile leader of Biafra, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, who was living in exile in Cote d’Ivoire for his role in the Biafran Revolution.

“This was a watershed exercise central to national reconciliation. Anambra State and indeed all patriotic Nigerians cannot thank Shagari enough for this courageous feat.

“The love of Shagari and Anambra State was mutual. Nigeria’s first president, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, led his Nigeria People’s Party (NPP) into a working accord with Shagari’s National Party of Nigeria (NPN) to steady the ship of state of Nigeria’s then nascent democracy in 1979.”

Obiano might not know the impact of his interview. He just campaigned against Buhari....

Punishment commensurate with the offence committed.
Differentiate with erudite facts the offences committed by Ekwueme and Shagari that earned the former a jail term while the latter was given mere house arrest.

Neither of them earned jail term.

Obiano is not intelligent. That’s why he can make a gaffe like this and not realize the logic. Ogogoro has damaged his brain cells together with all that juju the wife is adding to his food.

Please can you compare Shagari's administration to this disastrous administration of Buhari that has destroyed everything in Nigeria including security and economy. Nigeria would have been a lot better had Buhari not overthrown a democratically elected government.

Shagaris government was very corrupt and incompetent ,let us not pretend, the borrowed so much foreign money which was wasted and when money ran out we had to go begging to IMF, which destroyed our country with unbearable conditions, this is the reason why some of the best brains that would have been useful to this country left to go serve the white man again in foreign lands

it would have been hell. It is like you asking if GEJ administration - a modern day and worse form of Shagari regime -who couldn't manage $100/barrel and who said we should prep for recession at $67/ barrel in 2014( while Shagari called it austerity in 1983 while his ministers were stealing with reckless abandon) would have been fantastic at managing $30/ barrel. How?
Re: Military Coup Thwarted Shagari's Planned Handover To Ekwueme- Obiano by Asshurbanipali: 3:03pm On Jan 01, 2019
You don't know your history. Please also compare Shagari's 1983 to Buhari's 1984.


Buhari failed as a military head of state and now he has failed as a civilian president.

No sir, he hasn't. Each time when the country is at the corner of a disastrous collapse, Buhari is always beckoned to save the country.

If you can't fathom events in the 80's before the first advent of Buhari, at least you can't deny the present realities especially after PDP's 16years of brigandage and its attendant pains all which you lots wants us to pin on PMB, willynilly , who has been struggling to clean the mess. Febuhari 2019 is a referendum on the past and the present. Let us wait and hear from Nigerians at the polls.

He also didn’t want to arrest the coup plotters because they were all northern Muslims, just as Shagari.
Assuming the plotters were Ijaw, Yoruba, or Igbo generals, I doubt Shagari would have still been hesitant to arrest them.
