I was aware ibro was planning to overthrow the government, I did not move against it because I detest unnecessary bloodshed.

the full transcript of the interview is delivered below in a subsequent post.

compare the act of a patriotic, overzealous and detribalized Nigerian who went the extreme to bring his own kinsman in a most daring way to make him pay for his economic crime to the country with another who despite a clear case of corruption home and abroad against the person, gave his brothers and his boss as he called him, a presidential pardon and a National Merit Award for knowing how to steal well well.

Talking about Buhari and his legacy of great service to this country gives the hope that despite the hard times this country faces there is still hope at the end of this storm that JonaTAN and PDP in its 15 horrible years of misrule represents in the annals of this great sleeping giant of a nation.

our journey towards rediscovery and redirection starts next year and by God's Grace, we shall never face this monster call PDP again in our National drive towards greatness.

You did not move against it because you knew you were clueless and overwhelmed by your duties as head of state! And at this age, you are even more clueless for borrowing to buy nomination form. Hopefully, your cluelessness won't drive you to sell one of your children to raise funds for the campaigns proper.
This abo.ki enwe is so fuccking annoying!

Not a good statement to make (especially by a presidential candidate). So if Buhari is the president now and he has a chance to stop a coup, he won't?

He hates unnecessary bloodshed?
How many Tchadian soldiers do his curpoters say he killed again?
What of all the 2011 corpers that were torn apart because of this blood-thirsty power-hungry man!

lol coming from a man who invented a decree and applied it retrospectively to execute young boys?

now thats some funny joke!!!

I Knew Babangida Was Planning To Overthrow Me-Buhari | TheCable .

Muhammadu Buhari, former head of state, said he was aware Ibrahim Babangida was planning to overthrow him in 1985 but did not move against him because he detests bloodshed.
Buhari became head of state on December 31, 1983 after the military overthrew the elected government of Shehu Shagari.
But on August 27, 1985, Buhari himself was overthrown by Babangida, his chief of army staff and key actor in the 1983 coup.
Buhari, a retired major general and presidential aspirant on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), told TheCable: "It is true that I learnt he was planning a coup against me. And I sat and discussed it with him in my office.
"He brought the news that he went to Kano and people complained that I pulled a pistol during a council meeting. I said Ibro ─ I called him Ibro because I was just senior to him by a few months ─ I said whoever wants to sit on this chair let him come and sit here. And he decided to do it."

Reminded that the punishment for coup making was death and he could have put Babangida on trial, Buhari replied: "Yes. Remember how many people he killed subsequently for trying to overthrow him? But when I came in, there was no bloodshed. I think a couple of policemen were killed and [Brigadier Ibrahim] Bako also died in an ambush.
"But deliberately, nobody was killed. I was in the front, the real front in the Nigerian civil war. I had seen enough of death and I know what God means by human life. Any human being, God values their life. And anybody who hopes to meet God, he should be careful about killing.
"When there is law and due process of law took place, the question is clear. Like the cocaine convicts that were executed, the decision was taken in supreme military council."

Below is the concluding part of the serialised interview.

TheCable: People say that you were not really involved in the coup that overthrew Shehu Shagari but you only happened to have been made head of state. But we also heard that Alhaji Umaru Dikko, then minister of transport, felt you were a threat and asked that you be watched. How true are these reports?

Buhari: General David Jemibewon is still alive. He was the adjutant-general of the army at that time. When I came back from the War College in the United States, I was posted to Ikeja and I was made the GOC of the fourth division. I think I lasted for about four to six months there because some people in Shagari’s government said I was too dangerous to be kept around. So I was sent to Ibadan to command second division. I lasted about six months there. Again, I was posted to Jos to command the third armoured division. Then Jemibewon said to me, Buhari, the way they are moving you, your next posting will be to Daura (Buhari's home town in Katsina state). I had a good laugh. I will never forget. It was during the chief of army staff conference.

TheCable: How much did you know about the 1983 coup?

Buhari: I am working on my memoirs... (But) I have something to say now about the way we treat our military officers who really served this country. Along the line we have gone through so much, those of us in my generation. We served under people like Generals Shuwa, Adekunle, Murtala, Danjuma. I think these people have sacrificed so much. I think Nigeria should really honour them. I felt sorry for this country. .

TheCable: Alhaji Umaru Dikko is dead now. There was an attempt to smuggle him into the country from the UK to Nigeria. Your government was suspected as the brain behind it but you denied it then. Can the information be declassified now?

Buhari: No. (General laughter). I'm surprised that I am making you laugh. It is classified and it remains so.

TheCable: Were you really aware that Babangida was planning a coup against you in 1985?

Buhari: Yes, it is true that I learnt he was planning a coup against me. And I sat and discussed it with him in my office. He was the chief of army staff and I was the head of state. He brought the news that he went to Kano and people complained that I pulled a pistol during a council meeting. I had never heard that before, except a newspaper cartoon I saw many, many years ago about Mengistu Haile Mariam (former Ethiopian head of state). They were just making up stories. I said Ibro ─ I called him Ibro because I was just senior to him by a few months ─ I said whoever wants to sit on this chair let him come and sit here. And he decided to do it.

TheCable: But the punishment for coup making is death...

Buhari: Yes. Remember how many people he killed subsequently for trying to overthrow him? But when I came in, there was no bloodshed. I think a couple of policemen were killed and (Brigadier Ibrahim) Bako also died. That was when they went to pick Shagari from somewhere, I think in Abuja. But deliberately, nobody as killed. I was in the front, the real front in the Nigerian civil war. I have seen enough of death and I know what God means by human life. Any human person, God values their life. And anybody who hopes to meet God, he should be careful about killing. When there is law and due process of law took place, the question is clear. Like the cocaine convicts that were executed (in 1984), the decision was taken by the supreme military council (SMC).

TheCable: But when he eventually overthrew you, didn’t you regret that you should have taken action when you heard that he was planning against you?

Buhari: Taking action pre-empting and jailing or killing people does not solve the problem. But let people honestly ask now, as you said, those who are bothered about Nigeria, let them ask now: what did I attempt to do for the time Babangida and his group allowed me to stay and what did they do in his eight years in office? I told you about the naira and the dollar, and the IMF programme. What did they do? They wanted to impress the world? The naira was devalued by about 122 percent. We have never recovered. Go and ask any economist. When you devalue a currency, it can never recover. Some of the politicians that were jailed for corruption, they were released and their loot was returned to them by Babangida. So it’s a big joke. That means I was there then before my time.

TheCable: Having been a military ruler who overthrew a democratic government, how did you now come around to subscribe to democracy?

Buhari: At the risk of sounding like a broken gramophone record, I will tell the story again. After I came out of detention and went home in December 1988... then in 1989, 1990, 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed and that had a terrific impact on me. People were coming to me for advice. Thank God, they did not come to me to ask for money because they knew I had no money. I declared my assets as many times as I occupied political office because that was the law. And when I left I declared my assets. All those of us, our generation, from Obasanjo downward, if the country is serious about questioning them on how they acquired what have, it is easy because by law you have to declare your assets before office and after you leave office. But because it is so convenient to ignore it and accumulate wealth, that is what the big men and big women are doing.

Now, when the Soviet Union collapsed I realised that there was something right about multi-party democracy. I believe it was superior. But then how can we get it done in Nigeria? That was what eventually took me to partisan politics. And why did I leave the ANPP and form CPC? Why was I active in the merging of the opposition to become APC? It is all about strengthening our democracy and stabilising the system. I don’t like any person to see me as an impulsive person. I deliberately take decisions for my actions. That it is why when ANPP gave me the presidential ticket in 2003 and 2007, I went into the field, did my best but unfortunately we didn’t achieve success. But then while we were in court the party’s leadership took two marginal ministerial positions in the government of the late Umaru Yar'Adua. The party chairman said his son was taking up an appointment as special adviser while we were still in court.
Since 2005, we discovered that none of the opposition parties could face the PDP. The PDP has become so amorphous and it didn’t care about the opposition. If you see what happened to our members during elections... the killings, the burning. We realised we had to come together to face the PDP. This is the best way I think we can stabilise the system. When we stabilise the system impunity will not be acceptable. That is why we formed the APC. We need multi-party democracy to stabilise the system.

TheCable: What does a typical day in your life look like these days?

Buhari: Firstly, as you know, normally the practising Muslims have to wake up about five in the morning and pray. And I am an avid listener of the Voice of America and the BBC, Hausa service. This is because over the years I have discovered that they have been very, very helpful in educating the mostly illiterate Hausa-speaking populace. From Agadez or even from Tripoli down almost to South Africa, and from Senegal to Central Africa Republic, there is large body of Hausa-speaking communities, not necessarily Nigerian or Hausa, but those who speak the language because of trading over the centuries.

I found out VOA and BBC commentaries on politics and economics very good. They help to educate people. And they allow people to discuss, express different opinions and they interpret it, and I find that very helpful. And it is very current for Nigerian politics for that audience. I listen to that, and then I try to rest again. And then by 10am I have my breakfast, and go to the office or stay in the house if I choose to work without any interference. Otherwise, I go to the office and try to attend to official duties if I have appointments. About 4pm and 5pm I come back home, and mostly up to 10 in the night I will be with people discussing things.
These days, it is very difficult. This time scheduling is too tight. Sometimes I wish I had more than 24 hours to keep up with the demands of meeting people. Again, Nigerian politics, especially this time around, is the main issue. It is keeping me extremely busy. I go to bed nothing earlier than half past 11pm. I wish I could observe siestas. Sometimes I do. If I can escape from the office by 3:30 pm.

We already know how ambitious he is and the lengths he went to achieve his ambition.
He lied serially to Shagari that he was not planning a coup and then conveniently was chosen to lead the government afterwards.
Did his conscience not tell him to refuse the offer?
Since the coup plotters had him in such high regard, what efforts did he make to restore the democratic regime of President Shehu Shagari?

pendy79:
I think a couple of policemen were killed

these are people's husbands, boy-friends, fathers, brothers and you mention their murder so glibly.
So inconsequentially.
like they jumped into some rounds of their own volition.
Yet for some people, the world ended, just like your supporters ended some bright lives in the abortive attempt to bring you to power in 2011.
Indeed, Allahu is keeping you alive for a sign.

Born in hatred, bred in hatred. One love keeps us together. Nigeria can't exist with this kind of vituperation by everyone in the next 3 years.

Hmmmmm what a man

so if paradventure he becomes president in 2015 I'm very sure by 2017 we will b expecting a military takeover because he doesn't wat to shed blood
so you'll have to allow all whims n caprices... then from my point of view u r lily livered.because if anyone threatens u as a president n says u either comply or he'll start killing Nigerians.. you'll just allow him have his way?

I think we should divide this country into presidential aspirants lines n put the same amount of resources to all of dem and see who'll b beta after 2years

Uncle,come and tell us another story.

Unasked questions!

Kelvin0: Mr GMB, what would you say you left unfixed/undone during your almost 2 years in office as the then military head of state of Nigeria that you want to fix now or are you just power thirsty..?

GMB:.........................

Kelvin0: Why do you think you are the only one who can solve the problems of this country....or is it that you see it as your birth right to always be at the helm of leadership in this country?
I know this because in
2003 and 2007 u were GMB ANPP
2011 u were GMB CPC
now u are GMB APC.....should we still expect another transition if come 2015 u are not elected president?

stop ur phocking sermons pls.did buhari commit wot the guy jst said or not ?

Do we now need any other evidence that Buhari was the chief planner of the 31 December 1983 coup? Buharistans always tell white lies that their pay master never plotted any coup but was in fact INVITED by the planners of the 1983 coup to become Head of State because of his honesty. Even after Buhari side-steped questions on his involvement in the coup, he exposed himself through this comment:


“Yes. Remember how many people he killed subsequently for trying to overthrow him? But when I came in, there was
no bloodshed. I think a couple of policemen were killed and [Brigadier Ibrahim] Bako also died in
an ambush. “But deliberately, nobody was killed".

Indeed, the comment above does not suggest that Buhari did not know about the coup. It does not suggest that Buhari was only invited to lead Nigeria by the coup's dramatis personae as we have been erroneously made to believe.

By saying "deliberately, nobody was killed", Buhari is stating clearly here that 'we met and agreed that we should not shed much blood. We should only kill if there is resistance by Shehu Shagari's guards.

Indeed, this has vindicated Tanko Yakassai's revelation that Domkat Bali told his wife in 1983 that "they were meeting in Buhari’s house to stage a coup. Buhari was the GOC in Jos at the time, and he told her not to tell anyone" ( see: http://premiumtimesng.com/news/150148-exclusive-why-dying-yaradua-was-sneaked-into-nigeria-without-jonathans-knowledge-tanko-yakasai.html).

So, when Buharistans tell you again that their principal never plotted any coup, refer them to how their principal 'deliberately' did not want people to be killed during the coup.


The problem of Buhari is his blind followers. They present him as a flawless and perfect man who has the magic wand to solve Nigeria's huge problems. So, they perpetuate lies to sell him even when history is there to show that Buhari has too many flaws. Buhari is nothing but an idealess, visionless criminal coup plotter who as a young man in his early 40s could not achieve anything in his 20 month despotic reign.


We can't allow a man with analogue ideas to rule us in this digital age. To paraphrase Bill Clinton on Bob Dole, it is not the age of Buhari that is our problem, it is the age of his ideas'.

Politicians are hypocrites.

Go learn about military protocol thankfullly the event in burkina faso is fresh and close to home. No single GOC on his own will go against the collective military decision. General traore the army chief who first declare the takeover of
Government has been told by the entire military rank and file to stepdown for colonel Isaac zida. That is the power of the military during a coup, no single officer no matter how highly placed can take a sole decision. That is why you see what happened in B/faso and why a colonel was chosen over many generals.

If you're worried over people killed, they signed to defend or die defending the president and if in a coup they were caught up with it, those with higher power takes victory. It is victory or die trying. Ask gideon orkar, ask dimka and also ask babangidaa and abacha. Those were two faces of a military purge, the first two failed and paid with their lives while the 2nd two were victorious and enjoyed the spoils of war.

If you're worried and concern you shouldn't be for those who knowthe dictate of the job they voluntarily signed up to, compare that to the fate of the chibok girls, the peoples of mubi, vimtim, gworza, michika, buni yadi, boma, etc who are daily incapacitated by a heartless and soulless boko haram sect while your useless president plays the ostrich and show no concern don't you think they deserve more compassion than soldiers and policemen caught up in a palace coup.

People don't read but are just fascinated by the title of a post even if it was the newspaper trying to colour statements to gather more appeal to buyers.

Buhari has no sole powers to query activities of junior officers in a successful coup attempt. He control no troops and he has no option since the populace where in total support of the coup.

It will be a suicide attempt for the military chief in burkina faso to try force the president to remain in power with the popular rage of the people despite his closeness to the president .

People should get acquainted with the military command during a military coup, you either support the winning side and live or you die fighting it. Shagari was already out before buhari was contacted in faraway jos.

This interview goes beyond the babangida issue and people should read and not just take the title and be judgemental. Babangida is the army chief and equally the arrowhead of the shagari overthrow. Buhari knows he has no loyal troop in lagos since he didn't command troops in lagos so he knows if the same cabal wants him out he has no powers to stop them knowing how grounded they are.

Buhari encapsulated it in a statement he made during an interview. Refering to IBB about the coup he said " He was head of the armoured corps; he could move. Anyone with knowledge of how a modern army works would know what the armored corp signifies.

The coup would still have taken place if Idiagbon was in the country, he would have been arrested just as Buhari and other targets. Units of the Brigade of guards were already loyal to the coupists led by IBB.
Idiagbon may have cut a stern image among the civil populace, even as COAS it had been quite a while since he directly commanded troops. There he had no command link with any viable body of troops he could have used to fight the coupists anyway.

It would have been more difficult if idiagbon was in the country since he has troops under his command unlike a head of state who has no powers to muster troops but can only pass instructions to the military commanders.

The coup plotters knew what they were doing when they waited for idiagbon to go on hajj before striking. It was a tactical move. Orkar nearly succeed but because abacha and co had troops still loyal to them they were able to counter the coup against babangida.

The military is about command and structures then anyway not the useless contractors and azzlickers who are there right now. It is a pity the Nigerian Army has been brought down on its knees and can't even face ragtag bunch of hungry boys.

Buhari was in a tight corner in 85, he had never command any formation in lagos except ibadan and knew to try counter the coup was a foolish move. A good and tactical general chooses which wars to fight.

Don't mind the ignorant people who are spewing rubbish on the thread. They act before they think. It is a tribal infection, you know ojukwu passed on the genes to all of them.

Can't wait for the peoples general to come rescue the nation and return our military to its days of gallantry and bravery.

Idiagbon was the COAS no doubt, but he wasn't really in control of the whole military command structure as I emphasised IBB was in charge of the armored corp and could move tanks and AFV's with ease. Don't forget Idiagbon rose from military secretary to COAS without being in command of in recent years leading up to his appointment, so which loyal troops would he have called on?

His presence might have made it bloody but I doubt it would have stopped the coup which had been in rumoured to be in the offing many months before it took place. The brigade of guards had been infiltrated already hence the complexities he would have faced.

It used to be said that whoever controlled Ikeja controlled the country ( the Armored Vehicles were there ). If you study the coups of 66,75,83, even the Vatsa coup of 86 you'll see the pivotal role Ikeja cantonment played. Orkar failed priimarily because they failed to capture Ikeja.

A COAS has never stopped a coup, he's always a primary target.

Bloody coups occur if the COAS is not brought in into the plans. It is either he is into the plans of the coupist or he is first incapacitated before the coupist go for the head of state.

You're right about Ikeja it was the power house. Abacha lived on the island during the orkar coup , he was able to lead the counter coup with troops from ikeja where he ran to when the coupist struck.

The armoured corp was the elite army division then but remember the infantry, motorised and presidential guards and brigade would have mounted some level of resistance if their commanders were still loyal to the COAS hence the reason behind some coups being bloody and some aint.

Just like shegari knew u were trying to impeach him abi.when ever this serial loser tries to attract public symperthy,he ends up inviting the ruth of the public.old man stop de yan opata.

take an example of the recent happening in burkina faso. The COAS made a nationwide broadcast declaring himself the head of state and it would have stood but the fact he took the decision solely without consultations of other military top brass he was swept aside by the wider military council and spited with the appointment of a junior officer colonel isaac zida as the head of state/transitional head.

That is a classic palace coup against general traore for not putting other generals into confidence before his broadcast. How it will. play out there still remain something to watch.
Because u can't have a colonel giving command to generals.

The Hausa Fulani oligarchy is currently using the All Progressive Congress (APC). Its intention is to foist another Fulani son on the rest of us as the President of Nigeria. The APC is the modern Northern People’s Congress (NPC). Right now, they are trying to convince us that Mohammadu Buhari, a certified fundamentalist, pretentious and cunning man of dubious integrity who once insisted that Sani Abacha was a “saint” who never stole a dime of Nigerian money; Atiku Abubakar, an American wanted fraudster; Rabiu Kwankwanso, a confused political scallywag and Aminu Tambuwal, a clueless, dour but efficient manipulator, all of them of the Fulani stock, are the only options the rest of Nigeria should consider as our president in 2015. This APC agenda is the same as that of Ahmau Bello’s in the first republic. Or so it seems.

"I'm set and fully armed, to conquer the Action Group, AG, in the same ruthless manner as my grandfather conquered Alkalawa, a town in Sokoto province, during the last century"
-- Sir Ahmadu Bello (Premier , Northern Region and grandson of Uthman Dan Fodio) The Daily Times, May 3, 1961

whenever the chieftains of northern oligarchy want anything done in the colonial contraption called Nigeria that will overwhelmingly fall within their socio-politico-economic interest, they have willing southern dancing partners to take the floor.

Whether it is the so-called One-Nigeria, quota system, Kaduna refinery or moving capital city to the northern region of Nigeria, there are insurmountable numbers of southern Nigerians ready to do the biddings for chieftains of northern oligarchy.

The blame of regressive Nigeria, manifested by actions of northern oligarchy, should partly hinge on the shoulders of moronic southern Nigerians.

He is not looking for sympathy but was responding to a question posed by the journalist who decided on his own to give the interview a sensational title.

"It is not the age of Buhari that is the problem but the age of his ideas"......

Tot you were a muslim as you quoted in a thread yesterday.

It is a pity that nigerians are no longer sold by yoyr scaremongering and uninformed gibes at the most effective if not the best military ruler nigeria ever had.

Be prepare to run to Israel when he takes over next year because we are ready to take our destinies into our hands and do away with a failed and useless PDP government who has suffer the phyche and confidence of nigerians over the years. Take your false tales to people in the South East who are willing tools of propagandalists

The armoured corp was the elite army division then but remember the infantry, motorised and presidential guards and brigade would have mounted some level of resistance if their commanders were still loyal to the COAS hence the reason behind some coups being bloody and some aint.

Abacha was the GOC mechanised division Ibadan then and also IBB ally. The brigade of guards or loyal troops will fight if they know their COAS was still in a position of power and the seat of goverment could be safeguarded else it would be an exercise in futility.

When i tell Buhari's supporters that he was part and parcel of the coup,theysaid i was lying.
He knew ibro was planning a coup against him and what action did he take? He acted like a tree

who heard it was going to be felled yet he stood there and did nothing.
