Very sad to learn of the death of @OkporEmeka who died in his sleep
He supported all I ever did
He came my brother’s event early, introduced himself to me and said he wanted to discuss something with me later. We never discussed later (which i now regret)
I will use him as my dp for the week and try to reach his family.
I don’t ever forget loyalty
He was one of the first to show up and offered his support. Felt so touched.
Abiola was friends with IBB and supported him with finance during the ouster of Buhari (I will shed more light on this as promised).
The IBB coup that toppled the draconian Buhari regime on August 27, 1985, the coup was welcomed by NIgerians
After almost eight years of dribbling Nigerians (Chief Bisi Onabanjo nicknamed Babangida Maradona, after the famous Argentine footballer), IBB finally announced that he would hand over power to an elected successor come August 27, 1993, the eighth anniversary of his coup.
Because they were friends, Abiola believed him despite glaring evidence that Babangida was insincere.
