Epic Flashback: The coup speech that overthrew Buhari on August 27, 1985…

I, Brigadier Joshua Nimyel Dogonyaro, of the Nigerian Army, hereby make the following declaration on behalf of my colleagues and members of the Nigerian Armed Forces.
Fellow country men, the intervention of the military at the end of 1983 was welcomed by the nation with unprecedented enthusiasm. Nigerians were unified in accepting the intervention and looked forward hopefully to progressive changes for the better. Almost two years later, it has become clear that the fulfillment of expectations is not forthcoming.
 
Because this generation of Nigerians and indeed future generations have no other country but Nigeria, we could not stay passive and watch a small group of individuals misuse power to the detriment of our national aspirations and interest.
No nation can ever achieve meaningful strides in its development where there is an absence of cohesion in the hierarchy of government; where it has become clear that positive action by the policy makers is hindered because as a body it lacks a unity of purpose.

President Buhari Can’t Do It Alone – Atiku........

Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar says it’s impossible to convince workers to make sacrifices while elected officers are living flamboyant lifestyles that’s inconsistent with the harsh economic realities of the country.
 
Atiku, in his May Day message, said that despite the gloom surrounding the economy of the nation, with the support of the workers and everyone, President Muhammadu Buhari will lift the country to new heights.
He further noted that if the Buhari-led war against corruption is added to a culture of cutting cost and curbing waste, much needed resources would be freed up which will eventually lead to a reawakening of the economy through infrastructure and high jobs yielding sectors.

Buhari’s Ministers Hit By Accommodation Crisis...........

Six months after President Muhammadu Buhari swore in his ministers, most of them have still not settled down in Abuja and are groaning because the N4 million approved by the president as their yearly accommodation allowance have not been able to rent any meaningful house in Abuja, THISDAY has learnt.
The N4 million, THISDAY findings reviewed, can only rent flats and not homes, and giving the need for security, those flats which have many other tenants in the building, are not secure or fit for purpose.

Usually, accommodation for ministers, special advisers and other political office holders is quickly resolved shortly after their swearing-in to enable them settle down to their official responsibilities.
But owing to the inadequacy of the funds approved for their accommodation by Buhari, some ministers have been forced to stay in dingy hotels or squat with friends and relatives, it was gathered.

Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, says he became a running mate to President Muhammadu Buhari, out of a desire to fight corruption in Nigeria.
Speaking on Saturday at a non-denominational conference organized by the Covenant Christian Centre in Abuja, he said: “Permit me to begin (the speech) with a story about myself. All my adult life, I have always believed that our country was performing far below its potentialities, in practically every aspect of life.”
“In governance, corruption was always so outrageous that it made the majority poor and development almost impossible.
 
Law and order was always a problem, usually no consequence for wrong-doing. Doing business and even our daily existence have always been difficult, no power, no fuel. Getting anything done in government establishments, a nightmare of delay and extortion.”
“So as a conscious decision, I joined various pressure groups. From human rights groups to good governance advocacy groups. In 1995, I co- founded an organization called Integrity, an anti-corruption organization. I joined various think tanks and professional groups, including the Concerned Professionals.”
“Under the Abacha regime we Concerned Professionals, one day gathered at Yaba Bus-stop and some were thoroughly beaten by Police and the Army. From that day on, people disappeared and did not show up again.
