Waziri Ibrahim
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Waziri Ibrahim was a wealthy businessman and politician from Borno State. He was one of the original founders and financiers of the Nigerian People's Party but later left the party to form the Greater Nigerian People's Party in 1978.
He was a politician who eschewed what was then termed the destructive ethnic politics of the Nigerian First Republic, however, this actually fueled his ambiguous nature. A first republic minister for Economic Development, he later made large sums of money as a defense contractor. To placate any animosities that may arise after the war, he spent most of his wealth beyond his primary ethnic group, the Kanuris.
