How Abacha Refused to Seize Power from Babangida Despite Having a Clear Opportunity

In this edition, we narrate to you the story of how Gen. Sani Abacha had the opportunity to snatch power from Military President Ibrahim Babangida but refused to grab the opportunity. This singular act, surprised many persons but bonded both men together till the death of Abacha.

Thanks for information. I you are privileged to have a conversation with old Military officers who know Abacha, they will all tell you he’s a man of principle. He never lobby’s for anything or does eye service. He simply minds his business. You will never find him dinning and having fun with then Commander in Chief after work hours like most military officers do. He is just too serious, but if dare enter his lane, you will definitely hit a Rock.

Thank you for the historical, brief, and excellent story. Abacha was very loyal to IBB. Hence, he secured power for his friend.

Asides from the looting issue, Anacha didn't die in his sleep, he was poison. Reasons are not really known , obviously, because of power.

[@Enigmatic916]

No

[@TIJULESCLAUDY]

So Abacha was loyal to his friends, but not to hos country and compatriots?

And now we know how he became Military Head of State. Military elite move in silence 🙂🙃😉

[@felixsunday6448]

Abacha the evil man. He knew another opportunity will come and he was just bidding his time because he wasn't the planner of that very event

[@christopheradodo4718]

Military involvement in civil governance in Nigeria was not only a major drawback for the development of civil society and democracy but was also the darkest period in the history of Nigeria. Unfortunately, your narrative is based around two friends who trampled on the constitution of Nigeria, and to the detriment of democracy in Nigeria. Because both friends violated the constitution of Nigeria and the laws that established the military as a means of defending the country. And both friends could not deliver democracy to the country. Therefore, I am baffled about the logic behind your love story.
