Everything is hereby dissolved and all the political Appointees are hereby disappointed...dissolved, prohibited, proscribed and abrogated...all the trade unions to return to work immediately 😅. I believe in all of this it was the tight security and the safety of the Aso Rock Villa he wouldn't have lasted so long without being toppled and kicked out if the Capital had remained in Lagos. They would have got to him real quick.
One of the problems am having with we African is whenever we begin to hail a leader which we know how brutal he was during his life time because he gave nice speech. They all have good speech to present simply because the speech was not written by most of them but that doesn't change who they are which is what we are seeing.
The fact remains he stood by his words even if he did not write the speech. Looking back at leaders that succeeded him I don't see any one who you can categorically say that surpasse him in achievement. He had his shortcomings as a ruler but security, economy and infrastructure wise you have to give it to Abacha. I still emphasize that non of his successors from 1998 can be said to be better than him in those aspects. Agreed he was a military dictator like all military governments but circumstances warranted some of his decisions on opposition. He did not annull June 12 election, Babangida did and he came to power only after Shonekan lost legitimacy from Nigerians
@@aliyumohammed7965 you right abacha was really smart man and strong leader no one can dispute that my alah subhanu watacala grant his gentle soul rest in peace ....alahuma amiin from somalia🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴

Democracy which should be government of the people and for the people and for the people. A civilian like you become a dictator they steal as much as they can and they are not made to face the crime they committed rather continue to be offered one portfolio to another
@@trentson6965 am not disputing the fact that things were not cheaper compared to this present time under democratic regime. That was then. Things were cheap probably as a result of the the level of technical advancement then. We should not also forget how people suffered and how hardship was the order of the today too. Am not saying things are better now. My point is that he was also a corrupt leader just like the present ones who need not to be celebrated because of nice speech. If we continued with this mentality then a period is coming when Buhari and Tinubu would be celebrated with great esteem.
Did Abacha not loot Nigeria far more than those whom he dissolved. Keep fooling yourself, the military is even more corrupt than civilians. Who are those sabotaging the fight against banditry and terrorism in the north? Keep fooling yourself. Go and watch the days of military regime, ask your fathers let them educate your ignorant mind.
I am amazed at people trying to rewrite history to make this man look good. It must be the GEN Zs. But its those who removed history from our curriculum , I blame!
Had it been he is alive today , do you think anyone could have dared to level the same accusations against him. Today many Young Ugandans will wish to have Idi Amin again cause they now realize the West and media demonize Idi Amin. Sani Abacha made mistakes of not doing video interviews or maybe they have been destroyed.
