Abacha Was Not a Criminal, His Death Was Shocking, Says Right-hand Man General Jeremiah Useni
We step into the archives to take a look back at the five-year rule of #GeneralSaniAbacha, through the eyes of the second most senior officer in the Nigerian army at the time, Lt. #GeneralJeremiahUseni, said to be the most powerful man in the land after General Abacha himself. But then #GeneralAbacha died suddenly in 1998, and #JeremiahUseni fell dramatically from the opulence of power and influence. It was a bitter end for the man who waxed stronger and lasted longer than most Nigerian army officers - and who was often described as #Abacha's alter ego, his most intimate and trusted friend with whom he ruled Nigeria with an iron grip...So how has he evolved since the end of the heady days of the Abacha regime?

The man is an idiot and an unrepentant one at that. Anyone who can support Abacha is not a nice person at all.
I use to think that Jeremiah Useni was a gentleman. I just lost my respect for him after listening to his clueless responses. I see the reason he was close to Abacha. Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are.
If General Abacha were alive today;there would have been no boko haram whatsoever
If he indicted his friend and boss Abacha, he also indictes himself. My heart bleeds that a criminal like JT Useni is still walking free in the society and has the ingratitude to claim that Abacha did not loot, embezzle and murder Nigerians, even after numerous sums of money were found stashed away in foreign accounts.

Although he went by the nominal title of "FCT Minister", no one could see his kleptocrat-in-arms Mr inSane(nni) Lootobacha GSARS (Grand Sanctioned Armed Robber of the State) without going through his bosom friend Mr Uselessni.

I was actually wondering if this man is mentally stable with those lies: Abacha did not steal money so was not a criminal Shonekan government was an illegal government Ojukwu ordered the 1966 coup so it was Igbo coup (when in fact Ojukwu foiled the coup) He and Abacha did not force the 5 political parties to adopt Abacha as the sole candidate ... Nigeria is a mistake that needs to be corrected.
Thanks for the updates.
Very disappointing indeed! The former general was not forthcoming which really shows there were indeed suspicious activities not being revealed about the demise of Abacha. His overall responses were generally poor and filled with lapses probably due to health situation. What should such people be doing running for office instead of being on retirement?

My due respect to the interviewer of Arise television, Mr Charles Aniogulo. During this interview his guest and the former rtd Lt.general in the army, the former minister for the federal capital territory, Jeremiah Oseni said that he was a northerner which i totally rejected. The first military coup of January 1966 carried out by the top igbo military officers was mainly targeted against the northern army officers but rtd, Ltd.general Jeremiah Oseni was not a northerner. He is from the langtan tribe like the former military head of state General Yakubu Gowon. He should not claimed that he was from the north. The Benue state and Jos Plaeteu state are parts of the Middle belt in Nigeria. Again, during this interviewed by Mr Charles Aniogolu that he was not chosen to be the next military head of state after the demised of the former late military head of state General Sani Abacha because he was not a Muslim from the northerner religion. Very unfortunate, the former minister of the federal capital territory, Rtr.general Jeremiah Oseni made mentioned that he was a northerner at the beginning of this interviewed. But he has lost his mind with senses to have told Mr Charles Aniogolu the reason why he was not a military officer successor to the late head of state General Sani Abacha was that he was not a northerner. Perhaps, he should go for more medical tests and check up.

Lieutenant General Useni was denied to lead the country after Abacha death because he's a Christian..
These were the people running Nigeria?😂 These were the people who inherited Nigeria as booty, from the battle of ‘66 and the subsequent civil war?😂 No wonder they had no clue what to do with a modern country. They EVIDENTLY didn’t have that kind of intelligence.
That was the man, a common military driver on Major-General JTU Aguiyi-Ironsi's contingent, who drove the Landrover that was used to torture and drag the Supreme Commander's body on the road -- despite the fact that Ironsi was responsible for truncating and quashing the Nzeogwu/Ifeajuna coup. Alleged Christian Jeremiah Useni confessed that they didn't touch Ironsi during the Northern portion of his nationwide tour because, in his words, "we didn't want the bullets grazing any of the emirs". He rose in the militics, by sticks and carrots, on account of his pivotal role in the murder of his boss. The self-acclaimed "Sardauna of Plateau" [a monumental insult to, and belittling of, the real Sardauna of Sokoto] unsuccessfully put himself forward as a successor to his kleptocrat-in-arms Mr inSane(nni) Lootobacha GSARS (Grand Sanctioned Armed Robber of the State) after his demise while on top of Indian prostitute(s).

Useni is a remorseless vilain for alleging that the 1966 coup was purely Igbo coup and that Ojukwu approved of it. The world knows that General Ironsi and Col Ojukwu foiled d coup. Useni as Lieutenant at the time could have taken part in d January coup bec the officers and troops used by Nzeogwu to execute the coup in Kaduna were northerners. Other officers who were non Igbos also participated in executing d coup elsewhere in Lagos. Useni is unintelligent, and it shows. Thank God his people are seeing what the Igbos saw years ago.
