ICHEOKU say the former president of Nigeria during the second republic between 1978 to 1983, Alhaji Shehu Shagari, has died. Shehu Shagari died of old age related infirmities following a brief illness. He was 93 years old. Shehu Shagari was meekness exemplified and had a heart of gold that granted amnesty to both Yakubu Gowon and Odimegwu Ojukwu, the two protagonists of the Biafran Civil war, admitted Gowon's case was for participating in the failed coup that ousted Muritala Mohammed. ICHEOKU says may his gentle soul now rest. Adieu Shagari.
