5th Jan 1984
Nineteen military governors were formally appointed by the new Head of State, Major-General Mohammadu Buhari, and other members of the country's Supreme Military Council (SMC) in Lagos on January 4 to run Nigeria's federal states.General Buhari attended the official swearing-in ceremony, which came four after he led a bloodless coup ousting former President Shehu Shagari.

Speaking at the ceremony, Buhari reminded his new governors of their duties.All were chosen, he said, for their ability to discharge their responsibilities in the best interests of the country.He went on to warn them that crime and corruption for personal gain, one reason for the coup, would be ruthlessly punished.

General Buhari added the corruption and hoarding in the private sector would not be tolerated.He ended his speech by telling the assembled governors they were answerable to the country's military chiefs of staff and subject to redeployment at any time.All former state governors have been given a week to report to police.General Buhari has pledged to revive the country's economy and also to end the armed robberies in major cities that have become commonplace in the last few years.

The fate of former top officials in the Shagari administration is still to be decided by the new military government, and Shagari himself is being held in custody.

These were real patriots of our nation who meant well for the country. Had IBB not terminated this regime prematurely Nigeria would have been great - my opinion. You could see the zeal with which the brilliant officers were ready to work to take Nigeria to the promised land.
We still have another opportunity though as a nation to make the sensible choice of kicking the PDP out and replace them with the BB team to restore some hope.

God bless and save Nigeria. Pls vote for integrity in Buhari and Bakare.
