In excerpts from his autobiography, Call of Duty, due for public presentation in Abuja, Abdulsalami disclosed that his government was consulting stakeholders on how to resolve Nigeria's prolonged political crisis after Abacha's death.
Former military Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar (Retd.), has revealed that his administration was considering several political options following the death of General Sani Abacha in 1998, but did not plan to immediately swear in Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola as president despite widespread calls for his mandate to be recognised.
In excerpts from his autobiography, Call of Duty, due for public presentation in Abuja, Abdulsalami disclosed that his government was consulting stakeholders on how to resolve Nigeria's prolonged political crisis after Abacha's death.
According to him, various options were being considered regarding Abiola's future, including the formation of a Government of National Unity, the commencement of a fresh transition programme, or assigning Abiola a significant role in the incoming Fourth Republic.
The former military ruler acknowledged that some stakeholders had advocated the immediate inauguration of Abiola based on his victory in the annulled June 12, 1993 presidential election.
