Buhari no go greet him?

solmus:





The man that did Buhari's homeworks and gave him orijo and expo in the 80s to make Buhari appear very intelligent

People who didn't want him to be part of Obasanjo's new Democracy poisoned him to death, they know Obasanjo would definitely fix him to head Anti graft agency because they were already in talks


A very disciplined Officer and loyal to the core, after Babangida arrested Buhari and others, Idiagbon was still in Mecca, Royal Saudi Family offered him assylum but he rejected it and flew back to Nigeria to be arrested with his boss

Tunde Idiagbon Turns 78 Today.

General Babatunde "Tunde" Abdulbaki Idiagbon (14 September 1943 – 24 March 1999) was a Nigerian general who served as the 6th Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters (second-in-command) under military head of state General Muhammadu Buhari from 1983 to 1985.

He was also a key member of Nigeria's military governments between 1966 and 1979, serving as a military administrator of Borno State under General Olusegun Obasanjo's military government.

Early life
Idiagbon was born into the family of his father Hassan Dogo and mother Ayisatu Iyabeji Hassan Idiagbon on 14 September 1943 in Ilorin, Kwara State.He attended United Primary School, Ilorin from 1950 to 1952 and Okesuna Senior Primary School, Ilorin, 1953–57. He received his secondary education at the Nigeria Military School, Zaria between 1958 and 62.

Military governor
From August 1978 to October 1979, the military Head of State, General Obasanjo appointed Idiagbon as the military administrator (position now called governor) of Borno State, Nigeria.

Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters
General Muhammadu Buhari made Idiagbon his second-in-command as Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters from 31 December 1983 to 27 August 1985. Described as a thorough military man, he played a key role as the hallmark of Buhari's military government. Idiagbon was promoted to the rank of major-general in 1985.

1985 military coup d'état
After 20 months in power, the military government of Buhari was overthrown by Ibrahim Babangida on 27 August 1985. Idiagbon was removed from his position as chief of staff, Supreme Headquarters, and he was placed under house arrest for three years, after his release he retired to his hometown Ilorin and lived in relative obscurity.

Personal life
On 6 March 1970, Idiagbon married Biodun Idiagbon (née Gamra). They had two sons and three daughters together: Adekunle, Junior, Ronke, Mope and Bola. On 24 March 1999, Idiagbon died under very suspicious circumstances.

see all the hypocritical accolades here. Many of you or your parents hated that corrective regime. You now realise he was the brain behind WAI. Nigeria would have been less corrupt and more developed had those duo stayed the 8yrs just like the maradona. Nigerians want a great nation, but none want to go through the ordeal of building one. Sadly Babangida happened, Nigerians trooped in celebration to the streets, but things fell apart, and conditions were no longer at ease.

daddytime:
The brain behind the war against discipline and corruption in the '83 military junta.

Rumors were rife then that he seldom smiles except on Independence day. Lol

He was obviously murdered in '99 having being touted to be coming back under the the Obj's administration possibly to head the anti-corruption fight.

Everyone knows IBB would have been a goner had Idiagbon not been eliminated.

You are sooo correct! Back then , environmental Sanitation was The REAL deal . EVERYTHING is shut down and everyone troop out to clean all day. Now the Sanitation day is like a 4 hours vacation. Can you IMAGINE how Brave Nigeria was to KIDNAP Dikko in UK , put him in a crate and ALMOST succeeded in bringing him back to Nigeria to face prosecution. Nigeria even employed the connivance of the Israeli Mossad and the Nigeria embassy in UK.....Nigeria govt wasn't taking crap back then from anyone, now we have ORDINARY Ghana disrespecting us... Sad!

Nigerian Military Regime's War on Indiscipline: Idiagbon's Speech - March 1984 (Throwback Video)

The present indomie generation may never fully understand the role this man played at a time in the nation's history.

Idiagbon was a heck of a man.
He was ten men built into one.
The only officer that attended AFRC meetings without his cap, which infuriated fellow officers like IBB but they couldn't challenge him because you can't stand Tunde if he's annoyed.
You could get shot, up close.

Here is the history.
IBB and Abacha and few others, like Domkat Bali, Vatsa actually carried out the coup in late 83 against the Shagari govt and installed Buhari as President.
Buhari was the most senior officer, that's why.
By popular vote, Idiagbon joined him.

Now, IBB and his guys were into the drug trade by the side and just as much, needed the President and whoever is in charge to look the other way.
For a while, it went on that way until few journalists found out what was going on and began to write about it.
Journalists like the late Dele Giwa.
They began to call out the govt as hypocrites.
Idiagbon was embarrassed because he and Buhari amd some others were clean.
They actually meant to build Nigeria up.
It was the devils like IBB and Abacha and their wives who were money hungry so much as to mess Nigeria up.

So, idiagbon called a meeting.
It was a hot meeting. There and then, he warned IBB and co to stop drug trafficking or he would lock them up or have them shot.
He had verbal exchanges with IBB and it was reported that he asked IBB what has been his major achievements in life, to which IBB replied, " i've participated in all successful coups in Nigeria so far"

Idiagbon laughed him off.
IBB wasn't happy with that. And he began to scheme to topple Buhari and Idiagbon from there.
To make matters worse and to show his seriousness, idiagbon began to arrest their drug traffickers and have them publicly shot.
Quite alarming then were the confessions of these drug traffickers when caught.
Most said they're confused because na the same senior military officers who sent them to sell drugs dey arrest them, so what's going on?

And so, before Idiagbon could make up his mind to fk IBB up, IBB acted faster being the maradonna he was, and led a coup agaisnt Buhari while Idiagbon was in Mecca.
This showed how much he feared Idiagbon because he wouldn't have succeeded if Idiagbon was around.

The rest is history.
Tunde, you remain the best leader Nigeria never fully had.
I respect you, sir.
