I haven't seen any activist existing before 1983, who didn't condemn Shagari's government regarding excess corruption. Corruption thrived so much that Buhari had to kick him out. Infact, Babangida had to ban him for life from participating in politics ![]() 5 Likes |

NaijaRoyalty: www.nairaland.com/attachments/8409054_plexwpeditedimage3_jpeg0865997f5e609fcf8ad18db846b87932 In October 1983 during an official trip to Kaduna to print his divisional brief for the Chief of Army Staff Conference, Daniel Bamidele heard of rumors about a planned coup against President Shagari. When he returned to Jos he promptly reported to his General Officer Commanding (GOC), Major General Muhammadu Buhari (who, unknown to Bamidele at that time was in the thick of the plot). A week later, Bamidele found himself on a plane to Lagos, detained by the Directorate of Military Intelligence at Tego Barracks and accused of plotting a coup against Shagari. Fake witnesses were paraded and a mock interrogation contrived, while reports were being made to the NSO (then under Umaru Shinkafi) to mislead the Shagari regime. Meanwhile, the real plot continued underground with the full involvement of the same Military Intelligence group that was interrogating him. Finally, on November 25, 1983, with no credible witness to nail him, and no legal basis to charge him for a one-man conspiracy, Bamidele was released. He returned to Jos, befuddled about what had actually transpired, until on January 1, 1984, his own GOC, Buhari, to whom he had reported the plot, emerged as the new Head of State! [img]http://2.bp..com/-akOV1-kw8Wk/VQnyrzWttrI/AAAAAAABnb4/_Dad7z4701U/s1600/bamidele1.jpg[/img] The events that shaped Nigeria began in April 1983, when then-Brigadier General Buhari mobilised troops to close the border with Chad – cutting off food and fuel supplies. When Nigerian authorities – including then-President Shagari – demanded he reopen the border, Buhari refused stating, “My first loyalty is to my troops. I cannot endanger their lives by sending them on a difficult battle to defend their fatherland and [size=13pt]then turn round to feed the enemy[/size] and supply them with fuel for their tanks.” www.nairaland.com/attachments/2623738_tensee_jpeg6fd1c96494909f8b2e06845cc6113b7b The leader of the coup d'état was Major General Muhammadu Buhari of Katsina, whose background and political loyalties tied him closely to the Muslim north and the deposed government. Buhari had been director of supply and services in the early 1970s, military governor of Northeast State at the time it was divided into three states, and federal commissioner for petroleum and mines (1976-78) during the height of the oil boom. At the time of the coup, he was commander of the Third Armored Division in Jos. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Finally, on November 25, 1983 In early 1984, Bamidele's name was listed for retirement. However, when the list got to Buhari for approval, he crossed Bamidele's name out - recognizing that the officer was caught in a complex vortex and web of intrigue. After being saved from retirement at the last minute he got deployed to Jaji as a Directing Staff. ... Like for the Hero Bamidele, 4 Likes |
