Shonekan's Resignation Speech After Abacha Deposed Him by Nemere2020: 3:23pm On Jan 11, 2022 |
On Tuesday, Ernest Shonekan, former head of the Interim National Government, died in Lagos at the age of 85. Shonekan was head of the interim government after Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, former head of state, stepped down from office. However, only three months after taking office, Sani Abacha, the late military ruler, deposed him in a coup. Delivering his resignation address on November 17, 1993, Shonekan said the national government under his watch “tried very hard to bring honour to government” and took steps to tackle corruption and indiscipline. Below is Shonekan’s resignation speech after he was ousted from office. Fellow colleagues of the Interim National Government, I have summoned you this evening on an unusual occasion. Earlier today, I met with the secretary of defence in company of the Chief of Defence Staff and the Chief of Army Staff, and we discussed the state of the nation. https://www.thecable.ng/flashback-we-brought-honour-to-government-shonekans-resignation-speech-after-abacha-deposed-him/amp 11 Likes

I just love the Yoruba interpretation for Interim National Government - Ijoba f'idi he. Means when one sits at the edge of the chair with your bum just making enough contact. Or would I say, the bum just sitting on an unstable chair. 51 Likes 5 Shares |

I was a kid when this event took place and I thought the problem of Nigeria was Abacha till he died, then I thought it was OBJ till he left office, then I thought it was Goodluck till he left too, But after Buhari took over then I knew the problem of Nigeria was the Almagamation of 1914... 126 Likes 10 Shares |

AGNESikpuNNU: He is just not foolish to waste his life for a fight he can’t win. He doesn’t have the power to stop Abacha and his men at that time so he will be foolish to put a fight. 52 Likes 2 Shares |

One Igbo man want to use style advertise his business up there, with someone else's death. What's our business about where he died Or because he died there, it is the the best place to die, so we should all try to die there too. RIP sir. We all will leave this earth to join you one-day. His whole life is now like a blink of an eye, it started, and ended, and forgotten, so sad 18 Likes 1 Share |

Shonekan presided over Nigeria however the short term, after Olusegun Obasanjo presided as military HoS. Obasanjo again presided over as civilian president. Yet in 2022, Tinubu and his SW APC shamelessly clamour to present a successor to President Buhari, whereas their Igbo fellow southerners have not presided over Nigeria for once, except Ironsi's 6 months. Tinubu wants to be rewarded with presidency 2023 for inviting Muhammadu Buhari in 2014 to come from retirement to beat GEJ. Tufiakwa, Greed. Plot to continue to rape others in Nigeria.
