Former Chief of Army Staff retired Lieutenant-General #IshayaBamaiyi has blamed northern leaders for the current political woes because they “acted stupidly” by believing that General Olusegun #Obasanjo would hand over power to them after his tenure.
Bamaiyi, who served in General Sani Abacha’s administration, in an exclusive interview with Daily Trust in his country home in Zuru, #Kebbi State, said it was part of the calculation for northern political leaders to seal the deal to ensure power returns to the region that he was put behind bars.
He said, “I have been vindicated since I was discharged and acquitted. We are now paying for being stupid, thinking that we are smart. You know the problem is when you think that you are too smart; sometimes you become the greatest fool. That is what has happened to the North. To me, we have stabbed ourselves and even today when you talk of governance, who are the people being used to destabilise the north, are they not northerners? So, let us think twice and do the right thing.”
