Nigeria's Former Head of state Ibrahim Babangida has revealed the reasons behind the 1985 coup that ousted General Muhammadu Buhari. According to Babangida, he disagreed with Buhari's policies and leadership style, which he believed were detrimental to the nation's progress.
Babangida claimed that Buhari's administration was enforcing harsh decrees that infringed on citizens' fundamental rights and freedoms. He also accused Buhari and his deputy, Tunde Idiagbon, of adopting an inflexible and uncompromising approach to governance.
The coup, which took place on August 27, 1985, was a response to the growing discontent among Nigerians and the need for a change in leadership. Babangida maintained that his actions were aimed at reconnecting the government with the people and restoring hope in the country's future.
The processes associated with the change were completed without bloodshed by midnight on August 26, 1985.
