Shagari was an iconic elder stateman –  MPAC

Late Shehu Shagari

As the nation mourns the demise of former president Shehu Aliyu Usman Shagari, Ngeria’s frontline islamic faith based organisation, the Muslim Public Affairs Center has urged all to remember him for his service to the nation in critical moments.

Shagari, who died on Friday at the National Hospital, Abuja, was buried on Saturday in Sokoto in accordance with Islamic rites.

He was 93.

The executive chairman, MPAC, Kamor Disu in his condolence to the nation on the death of the former Shagari acknowledged that the former president’s uprightness shone through his work and many legacies.

Ex President Shagari won elections twice in the 1979 and 1983 presidential elections in the second republic, but the 1983 coup terminated his second tenure tenure.

Since then, he had been playing a non partisan guardian role in the country.

“Late Alhaji Sheu Shagari should be remembered for the great service he rendered to the nation at a crucial time that democracy in Nigeria was truly in its infancy”, Mr. Disu noted in his message of condolence.

    In my opinion, Late Alhaji Sehu Shagari could not be rightly said to be an iconic leader as you tried to paint him. This is because, this was a man that presided over the wanton destruction of Nigeria’s economy with his political associates of Chief Richard Akinjide, Chief Adisa Skinloye, Alhaji Umaru Dikko and a half of others. At the time he ruled over Nigeria, corruption got institutionalized and there was no display of ideas on Governance at all.Infact, the elections that produced him on the two terms were greatly flawed.The government of Late Alhaji Sehu Shagari could only have been praised by someone like Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, who foistered such a vision less Government on the Nigerian Nation through a massively rigged elections. Or how does a reasonable human explain two – third of nineteen states? I urge us to always publish truth regardless of who is involved. It was manifestation ofall these anomalies that led to the military coupof December 31, 1983. Thank you.
