1. Upon Abacha’s death, he became the de facto Military President of Nigeria from June 1998 to May 1999.

Many of you don’t see Abdulsalami Abubakar as the BIGGEST & the most IMPORTANT SILENT OPERATIVE in & around the corridors of power, since 1999.

2. Each time there was a crisis of succession, or threat to the seat of power, who does the presidency look up to, to broker peace? He persuaded Jonathan to concede defeat in 2015. Buhari will always listen to Abdulsalami.

3. A clever man, the man in grey mustache is. He made a promise in 1999, while handing over power to Olusegun Obasanjo.

He said & I quote - “I will never belong to any FOLITICAL FATTY (in his native tongue)”

He has kept that promise to this day.

4. But who do you really think holds Aso Rock together, pulling all the strings from behind the curtain, since 1999? A retired General, a smart man. He released all of Abacha’s prisoners, including OBJ.

Abdulsalami was right there beside Abacha; from December 1993 – June 1998,

5. as Abacha’s Chief of Defense Staff. He did not seize power for himself, he strove for Nigeria’s greatness. I am sure he kept part of Abacha’s spoils tucked away somewhere. Who wouldn’t??😀
6. But posterity can & will always remember him for that singular act of benevolence, clemency & a sense of patriotism as historians see it nowadays.

A general who became a civilian, the civilian who became the closest confidant of Aso Rock. 🥂 to the smartest politician EVER!!!

Well, just to be clear, “this mini thread is centered on Abdulsalami Abubakar’s prowess around the corridors of power, his ability to navigate the murky waters in & around Aso Rock.

He is the unseen finger pressing all the right buttons. His LOOT is a story for another day.”😅😅
