"HOW OBASANJO AND BABANGIDA DESTROYED DEMOCRACY IN NIGERIA"

The year of 1979 was designed by the military government of Nigeria to usher in a civilian government after 13 years of their undemocratic rule. General Olusegun Obasanjo in 1979 handed over the military government of Nigeria to Alhaji Shehu Shagari in a highly controversial presidential election. General Olusegun Obasanjo used his government highly controversial electoral magic of 122/3 of the then 19 states to prevent a run-off from taken place between Alhaji Shehu Shagari and Chief Obafemi Awolowo. 

The Supreme Court of Nigeria at that time also refused to accept as exhibit the mathematical analysis and the proof that were jointly done by the two most brillIant Nigerians, the late Prof. Ayodele Awojobi and Chike-Obi . Their mathematical equation showed clearly that Alhaji Shehu Shagari did not win that presidential election of 1979 according to the then electoral laws of 1979 that was used by the then federal electoral commission (FEDECO). General Olusegun Obasanjo also practiced his dirty politics of politcal exclusion by refusing to register the political parties of the late Fela Kuti, the Movement of the People (MOP) and the Nigerian Advanced Party (NAP) of Tunji Braithwaite in the second democratic dispensation in Nigeria.

In the third political dispensation in Nigeria, General Ibrahim Babangida wasted an enormous amount of the Nigerian tax payers money on his never ending and deceptive transition agenda of returning the country back to democracy. This military dictator practiced politics of selection and exclusion by banning many prominent first and second republic politicians from politics and by pushing young and inexperience Nigerians into politics. IBB also formed two political parties that were not people or ideologically oriented for Nigerians which he called Social Democratic Party (SDP) and National Republican Convention (NRC). IBB finally killed democracy in Nigeria in the third political dispensation when he annulled the best, the most credible, the most transparent, the freest and the fairest presidential election ever conducted in the entire history of Nigeria that was won by the late Chief MKO Abiola.

In the fourth democratic dispensation, Olusegun Obasanjo was elected in an election that was considered to be flawed by the local and international observers. Olusegun Obasanjo practiced all forms of anti-democratic principles. He violated the Nigerian constitution by removing duly elected state governors and elected officials of his own political party without following the due process of the law. He refused to obey many court orders. He approved flawed elections. He practiced politics of selection to favor his errand boys and politics of exclusion to destroy his perceived political opponents. OBJ even diabolically attempted to elongate his own tenure beyond the stipulated maximum of 8 years based on the Nigerian 1999 constitution. 

Olusegun Obasanjo directly violated the constitutional rights of his own duly elected vice-president, suspended him from the party, removed his personal security, official cars and prevented him from running in the party's presidential primary. Finally to further destroy the future of democracy in Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo brought in two Nigerians, the late Musa Yar'Adua and Jonathan Goodluck who had no plan to run for the office of the President of Nigeria and forced them on his party. These two men would eventually become the most incompetent leaders in the annals of the history of the modern Nigeria to date ‪#‎HardLessonsLearnedFromTheNigerianHistory‬
