How Abacha's Death Saved Abdulsalami Abubakar & Bamaiyi Careers

[@HispleMedia]

Afterthought: Your feedbacks on the rank of Abdulsalami Abubakar before he became head of state have been received and further research was done to discover that he was a Major General at the time he served as Chief of Defence staff. It is, however, important to point out that this was an interview and the position of the interviewee, Alh. Gidado Idris. He mentioned that both of them (Useni and Abubakar) were Lt. Generals. Notwithstanding, I take full responsibility for any info shared on this channel. Thank you for watching and leaving your feedbacks and suggestions. Pls remember to like the video as well. Thank you 🎉❤❤❤❤🎉

True this after Lt Gen Oladipo Diya, Lt. Gen Jeremiah Useni was the next most senior officer in the Army.

[@adamkabir6685]

What happened at the time was a coup by the C.I.A, Abdussalami abubakar and Bamaiyi were used.

[@chinedujames638]

Is it a conspiracy theory or fact although the CIA has been involved in so many coups

[@chineduonuoha3855]

Jeremiah Useni is not a member of the armed forces ruling council. He cannot come from outside and succeed the president. In the absence of Diya, Abdulsalami is the next in hierarchy not Huseini nor Bamaiyi .

[@HispleMedia]

Thank you for watching guys. Remember you can support my effort by liking this video, and Aas always, your feedback and suggestions will be highly considered and appreciated. Thanks, Gabriel 🎉🎉

[@AncientInsights1]

I think Useni was right to nominate himself as successor because he was the most senior. But as usual, religion and ethnic origin will be used. Thank you for this video 🎉🎉

[@ekusondebango3568]

If we should stick to this line of argument then tell me who should and succeeded Ironsi. Was Yakubu Gowon the right person for the job as officers like Brigadier Femi Ogundipe, Col. Robert Adeyinka Adebayo, Col. Conrad Nwawo, even Lt. Col. Odumegwu Ojukwu were senior to Gown in the army? I did not mention the fact that Commodore Akinwale Wey(Navy) was also there..

[@reubennwajiaku8327]

@@ekusondebango3568 The British were practically in control of things back in Gowon time and they cherry-picked him to succeed Ironsi. He was picked because he ticked the right boxes for them. He was a Northerner,the British 's favorites from day one. Even though North Central but it was a one united North back then until Dimka and Orkar failed Coups shattered the unity of Northern Nigeria. Gowon was a Christian too which Britain felt would also appeal to Christian majority South. By the time it got to Abacha's incident, Nigeria has consolidated on its independence with the Muslim core Northerners in control. There's no way they would have settled for a Christian head of state. If Useni had pressed further to be the head of state,he would have been history immediately

[@ayodejiadeoye1251]

And beside useni had a political appointment that distanced from the the rank to the head of state

[@bankoleodeyemi2237]

Point of correction Abdulsalam Abubakar was a Major General before he assend the throne... By seniority JT useni was senior by hirachy Abdulsalam Abubakar was the chief of defense staff thus making him the next in line for the presidency

[@HispleMedia]

The correction here is the rank of Abdulsalami Abubakar. Well, the interview say he was Lt Gen. And that is what I know too. As chief of defence staff he was already promoted to Lt Gen. before Abacha died. Thanks for watching 😍

They always clear the way first, before promotion to higher status. Please note. The narrative was by and large correct.

Abdulsalami Abubaka, should be prosecuted. With the evil of 1999 constitution he brought upon Nigeria

[@HispleMedia]

🤔🤔🤔

[@andyplus1352]

There are mistakes in your video. Abdulsalami Abubakar rose from Major General to General in the Army. He was not a Lt General. Useni was a Lt General in the army during Abacha government. Please do a remake of the video and correct the mistakes in your video. By military hierachy, Abdulsalami was qualified to succeed Abacha but by Army ranking Useni was Senior to Abdulsalami. At that critical time, Useni felt he could take advantage of Abacha death to become Head of State but he could not achieve his mindset desire.

[@HispleMedia]

OK, thank you for the recommendation. Thank you for watching 😍

[@jamejonesiii5473]

Liked your analysis you have a great voice boy.

[@HispleMedia]

Thank you kindly!

[@HomericOrigins]

There is always political schemes in Nigeria leadership struggle leaving the best schemers as our leaders instead of the best candidates. Thank you for sharing this info 🎉

[@tonyubaka3810]

Oga Gabriel, have u worked for any media house in d past cos u've got a very persuasive and narrative tone?

[@HispleMedia]

No sir, I have not 👌👌... It's actually from years of practice and experience. Thank you for your kind words. Thank you for watching 🙏🙏

[@abdullahiibrahimalhassan4460]

Abdussalami Abubakar was a Major General at the times of Abacha's death everyone knows this. He was never a Lt. Gen, even when he bacame head of state was promoted directly to full General. He was never a Lt. Gen.

[@HispleMedia]

We hv acknowledge that in our afterthought. However, this was the position of Alh Gidado Idris during the interview under reference. Thank you for watching 😍

[@hoopsandsports1723]

In what world was Abdulsalami a senior officer to Useni? Please do your research well before posting. Useni was the most senior officer after Abacha died.

[@HispleMedia]

I never said so pls. Listen very well before you comment. I said clearly that Useni was the most senior officer when Abacha died... Abubakars rank has been clearly wrong and we hv made clarification on that.

[@ayodejiadeoye1251]

He said useni was the most senior. Just like BIH

[@bayooderinde6564]

Commendable.

[@HispleMedia]

🙏🙏🙏

[@shannonbernett8538]

Abdulsalami should be investigated more! He and Obj knows more than they are saying , Too many powerful Nigerians died before 1999, Tunde Idiagbon , Fela Kuti , M K O Abiola among others

[@HispleMedia]

🤔🤔🤔

[@TimothyFolorunsho-b5m]

Nice voice ,good for voice over acting

[@HispleMedia]

I'm glad you like it. Thank you for watching 😍😍

[@enhanceictventures2640]

Since I was born I have not seen a honest person as Abubakar. Even the high ranking officers were selfless. God bless them

[@HispleMedia]

🤔🤔🙏

[@adewaleibraheem3974]

A part of this is not accurate. Before Abacha died, only Useni, well, and Diya (who had been dismissed on account of his conviction) were Luitenant-Generals. Abubakar was a Major-General.

[@HispleMedia]

We made an afterthought comment to this effect even though this was an interview by the secretary to the govt of Nigeria at the time. Thank you for watching

[@SHABACHMEDIA]

Stay anonymous bro...

[@HispleMedia]

I understand. Thank you bro 🙏🙏

[@nuhujoro6002]

Well research history but know that Abdulsalam was Major General prio to become head of state. Jeremiah was the most senior military officer as then. Abdulsalam have never been a Lt General. It was double promotion from major General to General.

[@HispleMedia]

OK, thank you. But the interwee referred to his rank as Lt Gen. However, I'm gonna look further at this. Thanks. Thank you for watching 😍

[@ahmadisadau9440]

If you don’t know state he’s from (Gidado) how sure are we your story real

[@HispleMedia]

He was born and raised in Kaduna but his ancestry is traced to sokoto aristocracy. Pls read up his story. Thank you

[@mohammedbalaabdullahi8963]

So na your face be dis? Thank you Hisple media...

Yes sir 😍😍... I appreciate your feedback. Thank you for watching.

He was born and raised in zaria but has his ancestral leanage in sokoto. Thank you.

[@Oldman1912]

Abacha's death has to be an inside job - Bamiyi at the top of my list. Poor Arafat's aid.

[@HispleMedia]

🤔🤔🤔 🙏🙏

[@love-heartbamaiyi4258]

Bamaiyi was in lagos when Abacha died, but Abubakar was with Abacha

[@Oldman1912]

@love-heartbamaiyi4258 like I said, it was an inside job by the same cronies blaming Arafats operative.

[@mosesshofolarin529]

No he was a minister not a service chief

[@HispleMedia]

Useni was a minister but Abdulsalami was a service chief (chief of defence staff) at that time. Thanks for watching 😍

[@pauloduye355]

Did Abacha die or was kpaied?

[@HispleMedia]

Well, I will not be able to answer that question in the affirmative. However, his death was sudden and the official position is that he died of heart attack. Thank you kindly for your feedback 😍😍
