@limitedlessmind: Part 2: 9 JUNE 1998 — ABDULSALAMI ABUBAKAR EMERGES AS NIGERIA’S HEAD OF STATE 🇳🇬 Just one day after General Sani Abacha’s sudden death, General Abdulsalami Abubakar took over as Nigeria’s new military Head of State. His administration would last less than a year—but that short period changed Nigeria’s history. On 29 May 1999, he handed power to an elected civilian government. 🇳🇬🕊️
