2015: Are We Going Back To Military Rule As A Nation?

When President Goodluck Jonathan has appointed General Aliyu Gusau as the Minister of defense, he has practically completed the return of dictator Babangida to the leadership of Nigeria. Apparently, President Jonathan wants to fill his government with Babangida’s old men and return to Nigerians the horrors and nightmares of the Babangida regime. Since the Babangida regime, David Mark has become in charge of a Senate which protects corruption and fails to remove an illegal kerosene subsidy that continues to rob the nation of $4.5 million a day and billions of dollars every year, impoverishing the masses. Sambo Dasuki which was

dictator Babangida's right hand man is Nigeria’s National Security Adviser (NSA). Under NSA Sambo Dasuki's rule, who allegedly advocated an amnesty and reward for Boko Haram killers, terror has continued unabated and insecurity is the hallmark of the Jonathan government. Boko Haram Sect have operated with impunity and Nigeria is now the world leader in high sea piracy, and comes on top with ethnic violence, terrorism and crime. It is believed that General Mohammed Gusau appointed as the Minister of defense comes in to complete what he started. When he had been Nigeria's NSA, Boko Haram came into being and MEND terrorism got out of control in Nigeria’s Niger Delta. Basically three time serving NSA Gusau is the man to blame for the spate of insecurity and terror in Nigeria.

Along with Babangida, his right hand buddy, he orchestrated the coup that got rid of Nigeria’s civilian President, Shagari. Gusau was also one of the disgruntled soldiers under disciplinary Buhari regime who plotted and removed Buhari and Idiagbon, some of Nigeria’s better past leaders. Gusau was also the coup plotter along with his pal, late Abacha who removed civilian President Ernest Shonekan in Nigeria’s third republic. Again this man has been connected to Hezbollah arms found in Kano last year and who is notably desperate to be president of Nigeria.

Also Goodluck Jonathan just recycled another well known loyalist of dictator Babangida, Jones Arogbofa as his chief of staff.

This is not surprising that Babangida’s dead buddy, late Abacha was awarded a national honor by President Goodluck Jonathan who it can be said is a devotee of ex-dictator Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida.

During the Babangida and Abacha years, the country was under poverty, corruption and assassinations as these military government’s siphoned the nations currency to their Swiss accounts and engaged in serial human right violations.

By surrounding himself with Babangida, Jonathan’s government is at risk of subversion and a possible frank coup.
