How Obasanjo Used His Presidency to Cover Up His Involvement in 1995 Coup – Bamaiyi Makes Revelations

by Naira
April 5, 2017
in Headlines

A former Nigerian chief of army staff, says Olusegun Obasanjo used his tenure as president to cover up his alleged role in the
1995 coup.

In a new book titled ‘Vindication of a General’, a former chief of army staff, Ishaya Bamaiyi, disclosed that for President
Olusegun Obasanjo used his tenure as president to cover up his alleged role in the 1995 coup.

He revealed that Obasanjo was among those arrested and detained by the regime of
Abacha, but as luck would have it, the military dictator died and Obasanjo was not only set free but assisted to take the highest
office in the land.

Obasanjo who was the president between 1999 and 2007, denied his involvement in any coup, but Bamaiyi alleged that the coup
to overthrow Abacha’s regime was plotted by Obasanjo, Lawal Gwadabe, former military administrator of Niger state, Bello
Fadile, a retired colonel, among others.

Bamaiyi said the coup was real and the recordings of Gwadabe and Fadile could not be denied, adding that Nigerians would
have known the truth about Obasanjo’s involvement in the coup if the request made
by the lawyer to Hamza Al-Mustapha, chief security officer to Abacha, to play a tape, was granted.

The former chief of army staff said the panel “for whatever reason” refused Al- Mustapha’s request which in turn denied Nigerians the truth.

“General Obasanjo used his position as president to cover up his involvement in the 1995 coup,” Bamaiyi wrote.

“I believe that the main players will one day come out to tell Nigerians the truth, and the
tape recordings of these statements will one day be played for Nigerians to draw their
own conclusions.

“People used the term phantom coup because it was the Abacha period and Abacha is the only military head of state to
spare coup plotters who were arrested, tried and convicted.

“If it had occurred during the reign of another military head of state, no one would have talked of a phantom coup.

“Nigerians should try to find out why General Obasanjo, as president, could pardon officers convicted with him for their
roles in the 1995 coup and refused to pardon Generals Diya, Olanrewaju and Adisa.

“I dare say his conscience worried him and that he is aware the officers could expose him if he did not do anything about their
cases.”

When Kehinde Akinyemi, the spokesman of Obasanjo was contacted to get his reaction,
he said the elder statesman would react at an “appropriate time”.
