<h1>Former President dies at 82 leaving legacy of economic struggles and security failures</h1> Nigeria's former President, who ruled twice as military dictator and democratic president, died at age 82 and is remembered as a divisive figure who oversaw troubled periods. His presidency was marked by the EndSARS protests where security forces killed at least 12 peaceful demonstrators, a seven-month Twitter ban following platform criticism, economic policies causing two recessions and currency devaluation, and failure to address security crises including Boko Haram violence that killed 35,000 people. Critics describe his legacy as missed opportunities, deepening inequality, and accumulated debt affecting successors.
