Buhari Did Not Overthrow My Government – Shagari – NewsRescue.com

Former president Shehu Usman Aliyu Shagari speaks:

Buhari did not overthrow my government, it was when those boys that overthrew our government were looking for someone with integrity, honesty and fairness to be the head of their government, that was when Major Gen. Muhammadu Buhari’s name came in, former president Shagari said.

It was Gen D.Y Bali that mentioned his name, and all of them agreed; Gen Tunde Idiagbon was asked to announce his name when he “Buhari” was not even there, I thought he was in India for a course, Shagari explained that those who overthrew his government were, Major General Tunde Idiagbon, Major General Ibrahim Babangida, Major General Tunde Ogbeha, Comondor Augustus Aikhomu, Nureni Yusuf, Bridgadier General Sanni Abacha, DY Bali, Lt Col Oladayo Popoola.

Shagari was reacting to allegations leveled against opposition candidate Muhammadu Buhari, that he overthrew democracy and he wants to be elected under the same democracy that he truncated 32 years ago.

    Yes, Buhari the Islamic Saint does not agree with the evil plan of overthrowing a Democratically Elected government, but he is ready to head one when overthrown by others!

          It beats my imagination that you’re so engulfed under the influence of what I don’t know. How can you be seeing the level of corruption and gross irresponsibility ongoing in the nations economic landscape and you’re still echoing the praise of Jonathan… Do you want to start begging to feed before your eyes will be opened? Why are we so biased? Why have we chosen to debased ourselves to this level because of ethnic or religious sentiments??? Jonathan is simply irritating given his level of irresponsibility to issues concerning our economic progress(corruption).

    Although I Removed Him, He Has Always Shown Me Courtesy – Buhari

    The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General
    Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), has described former President Shehu Shagari as a
    civilised and courteous man whose contributions at the periodic
    National Council of State meetings have always been constructive and
    eloquent.

    These encomiums by Buhari were contained in a congratulatory message he personally signed on the occasion of Shagari’s 90th birthday anniversary, made available to LEADERSHIP yesterday.

    “Although my government forcibly removed his government, he has always shown me
    civility and much courtesy. I wish the former president many more years
    of good health and peaceful retirement,” Buhari said.

    “Although I am physically unable to be present as I am abroad on previously arranged
    assignments, I wish to send my good wishes to former President Shehu Shagari on his 90th birthday”.

    “Alhaji Shehu Shagari is now the
    Grand Old Man of Nigerian politics, having been in the frame of public
    affairs since the colonial days”.

    Time to say anything and induce anyone that can say something to do so in order to win election. That someone is shinning so much with integrity is not enough to be a successful political leader. Nigeria is such a complex society to expect an honest man or woman to pilot the leadership. We are asking just fair people to lead and cause human rights, security, participation, opportunity and development to occur. Do not tell us you are incorruptible and therefore you are a good leader. Tell us the total qualities you possess and programs you will unleash to solve development challenges of the nation. What plans do you have to create employment? How many roads will you rehabilitate and new ones to construct? How are you going to engage education to be sustainable and schools will not be shut during your tenure and thereafter? What and how are you going restructure healthcare system and make sure hospitals function and people get access to treatments that they need? Tell us how the security situation in the country will be assured. Tell us how the clashes between Christians and Muslims will be addressed and contained? Tel us how agriculture and oil wealth will be engaged for public investments and industrialization of the country and not for private interests and self arrogance. We need democrats to do democratic things that will carry everyone along. We need not a military background for that has not helped Nigeria in its political and national development.
