RENO OMOKRI REMEMBER'S LATE SANI ABACHA TODAY. (PHOTO). #PRESS RELEASE.

 On this day, 28 years ago, General Sani Abacha passed away in mysterious circumstances on Monday, June 8, 1998. This photo, taken on Saturday, March 21, 1998, with Pope John Paul II, was taken three and a half months before Abacha died. General Abdulsalami Abubakar is immediately behind and to Abacha's right.  Interestingly, it was widely reported and never denied that on June 8, 1998, the day he died, General Abacha had planned to retire then Major General Abdulsalami Abubakar, who was at the time the Chief of Defence Staff. As fate would have it, General Abdulsalami Abubakar became Head of State on June 9, 1998, the day after he was to have been retired.  His sudden death also saved the life of his deputy, Lt. General Oladipo Diya, and five others, who had been sentenced to death on Tuesday, April 28, 1998, for plotting a coup against General Abacha.  Ironically, General Diya would almost certainly have automatically become Head of State after General Abacha's dea...

 "It Was Politics": Olusegun Obasanjo Exposes Truth Behind Sharia Law in Nigeria Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has shed light on the historical controversy surrounding the implementation of Sharia law in northern Nigeria, asserting that the movement was heavily driven by political expediency rather than genuine religious devotion. Speaking on the highly debated topic, the elder statesman recalled the intense deliberations that took place during his tenure as military head of state, particularly during the sessions of the Constituent Assembly where Sharia law emerged as a major flashpoint of national division. The Constituent Assembly Debate According to Obasanjo, the push for the Sharia Court of Appeal was intensely championed by certain northern leaders. Seeking to understand the true motivation behind the aggressive push, Obasanjo decided to privately confront one of the prominent northern elites of that era. "I was military head of state and Sharia becam...
