Without General Sani Abacha, Babangida’s military rule would have ended exactly 35 years ago on April 22, 1990, when Major Gideon Orkar made a radio broadcast that denounced the regime in Lagos.
Orkar and his co-conspirators had already captured Dodan Barracks, the official residence of the Head of State, and announced their intentions on national radio.
In fact, without Abacha, they would have overthrown the regime and cut off five northern states from the federation. The political history of Nigeria would have changed forever, but they failed to depose Babangida after the coup was suppressed and eventually crushed by Abacha some hours later.
