There were glowing tributes as associates and friends of the former Chief of Staff Supreme Headquarters, late General Tunde Idiagbon attended the 20th year memorial lecture organised in his honour in Ilorin. UMAR BAYO ABDULWAHAB reports on the encomiums.
The man Idiagbon
He was simply known as a ‘fearless General’; some even said he rarely smiled but once in a year, yet others remember him with the ‘War Against Indiscipline’ (WAI) mantra through which sanity was restored in society.
Whichever way one wish to describe him, one thing everyone seems to have agreed about the former Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters, (CSSH) General Abdulbaqi Tunde Idiagbon is that he detests indiscipline.
As CSSH under General Muhamadu Buhari&#;s regime, the late Idiagbon championed policies that many Nigerians viewed as stringent in the nation’s history.
Notable amongst them was the ‘War Against Indiscipline’ (WAI) and the ‘Anti-Drug Abuse War’ which he spearheaded ruthlessly in a manner that has never been witnessed since Nigeria’s attainment of Independence.
