On 31 Dec 1983, Sani Abacha said in the coup broadcast: "our health services are in shambles as our hospitals are reduced to mere consulting clinics without drugs." Next day, @MBuhari emerged as military ruler. He was 41. Exactly 41 yrs later, he dies in foreign hospital. #RIP pic.twitter.com/o4zqhSn9JJ
