In August 1985, the evening of the 26th to be specific, at a time when Nigerians were celebrating the Muslim festival and enjoying the public holiday, a soldier named Major-General Badamasi Babangida (a.k.a IBB) was executing his plans of overthrowing the Nigerian Head of State, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari.
One of the soldiers who arrested Buhari at gunpoint was a soldier named Major SAMBO DASUKI!
After Buhari was arrested and his government toppled, IBB threw him into prison and handsomely rewarded Dasuki by making him his ADC (aide-de-camp) and had his father fraudulently made the Sultan of Sokoto.
Sambo Dasuki was one of the four Nigerian army Majors that arrested Buhari at gunpoint that day.
Others were Abubakar Dangiwa Umar, Lawan Gwadabe, Abdulmumuni Aminu (I have written on him
before).
Buhari was left to rot in jail for two years and this wrecked his family life so bad that it led to a divorce with Safinatu, his beloved wife upon his release.
While Buhari was also in jail, Babangida sent soldiers to ransack and vandalize his residence, in the process destroying some of Buhari's most valuable credentials including Original Educational Certificates and valuables.
Let me skip what happened to Sambo Dasuki and his father the former Sultan of Sokoto under General Abacha till today.
He has been appointed as the National Security Adviser to President Jonathan and you really think Sambo Dasuki will want the elections to go on and Buhari become the President of Nigeria?
The same Dasuki wrote letter to INEC claiming Nigerian security can't provide security for election,citing boko haram as excuse.
Think again, what is going-on has nothing to do with PVCs or bla bla bla. It is all about the interests of a few people strangling the country.
I think all Nigerians should remain calm and read more and see how the game is played with the destinies of the almost 200 million of us.
