The Speech Made By Brigadia J.n.dogonyaro After The Coup Against Buhari In 1985. by chukagora(m): 11:36pm On Jul 25, 2016
Let Naijarianz hear, History is repeating itself !!!!!!!!!!IF THERE IS "ANYTHING" WE CAN LEARN FROM HISTORY, IT IS THAT "HISTORY ALWAYS REPEATS ITSELF"
QED.......
What is History? History is the study of the past, present and the Future. Any proof? See below:
On August 27, 1985 Brigadier J.N. Dogonyaro announced the coup that dethroned the Buhari/ Idiagbon government and brought Babangida to power. Below is an excerpt from his speech.
"........The Nigerian public has been made to believe that the slow pace of action of the Federal Government headed by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari was due to the enormity of the problems left by the last civilian administration.
Although it is true that a lot of problems were left behind by the last civilian government, the real reason, however, for the very slow pace of action is due to lack of unanimity of purpose among the ruling body; subsequently, the business of governance has gradually been subjected to ill-motivated power play considerations. The ruling body, the Supreme Military Council, has, therefore, progressively been made redundant by the actions of a select few members charged with the day-to-day implementation of the SMC’s policies and decision.
The concept of collective leadership has been substituted by stubborn and illadvised unilateral actions, thereby destroying the principles upon which the government came to power. Any effort made to advise the leadership, met with stubborn resistance and was viewed as a challenge to authority or disloyalty.

Thus, the scene was being set for systematic elimination of what, was termed oppositions. All the energies of the rulership were directed at this imaginary opposition rather than to effective leadership. The result of this misdirected effort is now very evident in the country as a whole. The government has started to drift. The economy does not seem to be getting any better ......."

This was 31 years ago......
Make whatever you may out of this.

Pls, note:
None political, simply Historic.
