However, if he had lived a few months more, do you know he would have become a civilian president? Military leaders transforming into civilian presidents were quite common during the period. People like Jerry Rawlings of Ghana, Muhammad Gaddafi of Libya, Museveni of Uganda,
Omar Bashir of Sudan and many others. So Abacha’s transformation would not have been strange.
In 1996, Abacha announced his intention to leave power and initiated a transition process. Even though the winner of the 1993 presidential election, Chief MKO Abiola had been kept in

#NigerianPolitics: The inter-tribal hostilities presently brewing in the south-west of Nigeria 🇳🇬 between Yoruba & Fulani people need not happen if all parties are ready to shun dishonesty & allegiance to primordial tribal sentiments. We must not allow an escalation.
That there is a problem of criminals hiding in SW forests is beyond a doubt.These criminals are known to disguise as Fulani people carrying out legitimate cattle herding business in the region. Some of the criminals have also been found to be fulani in times past & recently.
