>From: Professor Oladimeji Aborisade: Rift between OBJ and IBB: SOME OBSERVATIONS.It is a fact that OBJ and IBB were former Leaders of Nigeria. The rift between President Olusegun Obasanjo (OBJ )and President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) is best followed in a comparative form. I will use OBJ and IBB to describe these two giant Military Leaders of Nigeria at one point or the other. The two have a lot of things in common. They were Military Generals and Heads of State at various times.However, IBB was the first Military Head of State to use the nomenculator"President" instead of the Military Head of State.
> OBJ and IBB married from the former Bedel State and both lost their wives of blessed memories.IBB already announced a re marry but OBJ is relatively quiet possibly as a result of his life experience from his son's wife. As Presidents of Nigeria, OBJ and IBB were Visitors to the Federal Universities in Nigeria, located in most of the states of the Federation. These Universities suffered from poor Funding, management,Mission, Vision to direction. The result was perenial strikes, and closure, thus playing on the academic freedom and promotion of scholarly environment. These two Leaders were confussed. Instead of exploring some solutions to the problems at hand, OBJ and IBB established their own Private Universities. Only in Nigeria perhaps can anyone get away with such a dereliction of duty. They did it gladly.
> OBJ and IBB are suffering from identity syndrome.OBJ claims to be from Yoruba but other side claims Ibo. IBB claims Hausa/ Fulani but other side claims Yoruba of Ogbomosho. It is not common in Hausa/ Fulani to name a child "Badamasi" but Gbadamasi is a common name in Yoruba. For anyone who has identity issue, it is possible to say that their behavior may be erratic,like OBJ and IBB.
> Some cases happened during the Presidency of OBJ and IBB. Dele Giwa was killed during the Leadership of IBB, and Bola Ige was killed during the Leadership of OBJ. The two leaders could not claim that they have done enough to track down the culprits. What is the basis of their diagreement?. We hope they expose themselves sufficiently to the public.One can now figure out why IBB wanted to return to power in 2011 and OBJ planned the third term episode earlier.In conclusion, OBJ and IBB have no respect for themselves. They, OBJ and IBB should tell the Nigerian people how they aquired their Atlantic Ocean wealth.Are they from pensions received from the Military Service?
