The first bloodless mutiny(Military to Military) in Nigeria was IBB ouster of GMB. A report on GMB table had earlier informed the General that there was a looming danger, and direction through which the danger is coming from…His Chief of Army Staff IBB. Just like a typical PMB, the report gathered dust on his table. He was overthrown like chicken, No General in Nigeria history had been so removed chickenly. IBB dealt with him, just that God didn’t put it in IBB’s heart to kill him. He was detained for years, mocked, his wife was made to kneel for IBB begging for money….Wow!!!!!! NIGERIA herself suffered tremendous damage from IBB. IBB introduced sophisticated corruption with unimaginable audacity to Nigeria. Since then, Corruption was entrenched in our life!
But Sani Abacha brought him back to life and his efforts at PTF among others placed him as the most crowd pulling politician in Nigeria. He started another journey which many thought will redeem the damage he allowed IBB to cause in 1984 but alas, after three trials and eventual victory, GMB is yet to redeem himself two years into his victory!!!! Another disaster looming, MESU is his name. He will make IBB terror a child’s play.
Neither IBB nor MESU is too strong to cut just that the man with the cutlass is too weak to cut!!! We don’t need safety from MESU because he’s not strong and we can deal with him but we need safety from PMB before we enter another trap caused by lackadaisical and weak attitude of a supposedly strong leader!!!
