Many Nigerians have taken to their favorite social media platforms to react to President Buhari‘s eulogy of former military dictator, General Sani Abacha.

President Buhari today said no matter how anybody feels or what they think, former military dictator, General Sani Abacha, contributed immensely to the infrastructural development of the country during his time in office.

President Buhari said this when he hosted the Buhari Support Organisation (BSO), led by Hameed Ali, Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), today May 22nd.

According to the president, Nigeria’s civilian presidents before and after Abacha spent billions of naira in infrastructure yet have had little to show for it.

“I have to repeat what I want public to know here. Some of you may not have heard it. Either there is no power in your place or even in the television, I said and I challenge anybody to check from Europe, Asia and America. Between 1999 and 2014, Nigeria was getting 2.1 million barrels per day at average cost of $100 dollars per barrel. It went up to $143. So Nigeria was earning 2.1m million times 100 times 16 years seven days a week. When we came, it collapsed to $37-38 and it was oscillating between 40 and 54 sometimes. I went to the Governor of Central Bank; thank goodness I did not sack him; he is still there! I went with my cap in my hand but there were no savings, only debt. And you know more than I do the condition of the roads and some of them were not repaired since PTF days. No matter what opinion you have about Abacha, I agreed to work with him and the PTF road we did from here to Port Harcourt, to Onitsha, to Benin and so on. On top of other things in the institution, education, medical care and so on.

You know the rail was killed and one of the former Heads of State between that time was bragging that he spent more than $15billion, not naira, on power. Where is the power? Where is the power? And now we have to pay the debts and this year and last year’s budgets I took to the National Assembly were the highest in capital projects: more than N1.3trillion.

Let anybody come and confront me publicly in the National Assembly. What have they been doing? Some of them have been there for 10 years. What have they been doing? So, really, this country, luckily for me, I said it about eight years [ago] that we have no other country than Nigeria, we should remain here and salvage it together no matter what you have outside” he said

Bros, Abacha of blessed memory may not be saint but I sees him as angel compare to some block and empty heads we are having now.
The problem Abacha had back then was simply because he failed to associate with the western powers. He never allowed them to dictate to him as we are having now that our president and everyone is running to the UK/US before they can cough.

The biggest looters are walking freely and tagging many of their act to the late Abacha simply because he's dead.

Nigeria biggest looters are:

Abdul Salaam Abubakar

Ibrahim Babangida

Till today no man alive can compete with these two men in looting.

The only thing Abacha failed to achieve before his untimely death is not killing the enemies of Nigeria. I mean our greatest problems ruling us from the 70s till date.

Yah Sanni Abacha, may the Rahmah of Allah SWT be upon your soul, ameen.

I dont understand, u praise someone when there is something he did right and condemn when he did wrong.
Is it a lie that we still have PTF text books in schools, or PTF bedsheets in hospitals or PTF projects or infrastructures built by Abacha?
Rather than show us PDP's infrastructure in 16 years, pr dispute the facts, they are busy saying irrelevant things.

stonemasonn:
REALLY! So there were no textbooks and bed sheets in Nigeria before PTF?

progress69:


There was a thread about PTF bead spreads and others sometime ago on NL. U can use google to search it, if u cant, u can kindly ask your ancestors.

Omeokachie:
Show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are.


Buhari has told Nigerians and the entire world that he is friend with the most corrupt ruler to ever preside over the affairs of this country.
