The profile text also references Abdulkareem Adisa (August 22, 1948 to February 25, 2005), a Nigerian major general who served as military governor of Oyo State from August 1990 to January 1992 under General Ibrahim Babangida. It states that Adisa was convicted in 1997 for involvement in an attempted coup against General Sani Abacha, was on death row when Abacha died in June 1998, and was later pardoned.

The same account states that after becoming head of state in November 1993, General Sani Abacha appointed Adisa Minister of Works and Housing, where he investigated his predecessor, Alhaji Lateef Kayode Jakande, and absolved him of wrongdoing. It adds that he continued the National Housing Policy initiated by Jakande to build affordable housing nationwide, while more than doubling the price of each house type.

The biography further states that Adisa was born in Ilorin (now in Kwara State), attended Quranic School in Ilorin (1951-1953), Catholic Primary School, Ibuso Gboro Ibadan (1953-1958), and Nigerian Military School, Zaria (1962-1965), then entered the Nigerian Army as an officer cadet at the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna in 1967 and graduated in 1970. As a lieutenant in the Nigerian Civil War, he was captured by Biafran forces in August 1967 and detained until January 1970. It also says he was viewed as a "no nonsense" governor, erected a statue of the unknown soldier in front of Government House, Ibadan, and that the statue was later replaced by a statue of Obafemi Awolowo by Governor Lam Adesina before that second statue was also pulled down shortly after Adesina left office.
