You can see how trickish this man is. He jokes with the Nigerian nation all the time. He surely would never ever meant well for the Nigerian nation. The election he conducted and cancelled, is what he is now looking forward to be credited...

One of the reason our economy is this bad is because of the annulment of the June 12 election, the Nigeria economy started collapsing from the day he annulled that election.

If he had peacefully hand over power to MKO abiola,the likes of abacha won't have been able to take over power.

Annulling the June 12 election was a very foolish and stupid move by IBB because it could have lead to civil war

civil war between who and who north vs west? Hehehe story

kokoA:
With due respect, this Baba has made no sense. It was the freest election, we agree. Nice one! But why was it annulled? You handed over the country to an interim government while we had a president elect, does that make any sense to a sane mind?

guys this your statement make me laugh

Ebullience:
Nigeria’s former Military President, General Ibrahim Babangida (Rtd), cares to know the real reason why the presidential election conducted in 1993 was annulled, or give him credit for how fair the poll was.

General Babangida said this during an exclusive interview on Roadmap 2019, a Channels Television programme that aired on Monday.


The late Moshood Abiola, a philanthropist and successful businessman, had won the election which was later cancelled by the then military junta headed by General Babangida.

The poll, which was adjudged as one of the freest and fairest in Nigeria’s democratic history, was the first presidential election held in Nigeria since 1983 when the military took power in a coup.

The late MKO Abiola of the then Social Democratic Party (SDP) had defeated Bashir Tofa of the defunct National Republican Convention (NCP).

Twenty-five years later, General Babangida was displeased that despite explaining why the June 12 election was cancelled, nobody cared to listen to him.

He said he had a good relationship with the presumed winner of the election whom he said they had communicated at different occasions.

“Nobody has ever sat down to say the two persons are friends, what went wrong? We tried to rationalise why we had to do what we did but nobody is prepared to listen to us,” the elder statesman said.

“I have never seen anybody write anything on this to try to give people a different version altogether. He (Abiola) knew my feeling; I knew his feeling about the country generally because I do talk about Nigeria with the presumed winner of the truly democratically freest election. We even talked about it during the crisis itself.”

Babangida stressed further that the election was widely accepted to be the freest in the history of Nigeria, but he has yet to get a credit for conducting the poll.

He decried that Nigerians were instead interested in ‘he cancelled the freest election, noting that he loved being criticised.

On whether is he is planning to write an autobiography, the former military president said, “People may not read it because it’s coming from a dictator. Yea, he cancelled June 12 and that will kill the thing about the book, but I will try.

“I hope one day if God spares my life I will discuss about it (June 12 elections) because I still believe people don’t get what we were trying to put across.”

What kind of stupid talk is this coming from Babangida. It's like the good Lord has finally avenged Nigerians of all the evil IBB did to us, by blessing him with mental illness

If you were not born then, ask questions.

The easterners abandoned SW and returned home. A lot of hausas were killed in the SW. You can ask any hausa around.

TFU . U WEY SUPPOSE GO TO JAIL. YOU WASTED OUR TIME AND MONEY

The Baba is really suffering from old age..imagine asking for accolade for wasting our resources for selfish purpose

This is why we advise Nigerians to stay off Codeine mixtures. Same IBB who has kept his peace on this matter for 25 years suddenly starts spewing trash apparently after sipping some gutter water from one of his junkie grandson's collections!!

The only credit this man deserves is a single bullet to the head.

When I look at this shiit hole I just shake my head in pity for some Nigerians, especially One Nigeria praise singers. Most Nigerians have no idea that there's a written constitution that says a Southern Muslim will NEVER be President of Nigeria, same way a Northern Christian will NEVER be president of Nigeria. Why did you think 1993 election was annulled despite the wide claim that it was free and fair? If Bashir Tofa from north had won 1993 election, that election will NEVER be annulled!
You think Nigeria is rooted in Justice and fairness? Very soon one Nigeria singers will see the fraudness call Nigeria.

Your fellow BMC crew members like Sarrki, buharisguy and others who are exhaustively spending their entire lives defending failure unsuccessfully on Nairaland need the job more.

BABA WANTS SOME ACCOLADES!!

IBB, needs to be remorseful. you mean, you should be given credit for annulling the election. Babangida,better hide your face in shame.

Bro, dont take it personal
It was just an honest advice

Basic123:
I am very sure that the most regretable act in IBB life is that annulment!

It really showed in this utterance!

He would have been abdulsalam abubakre of Nigeria today

Very true.

More regretful because he listened to certain people who did not mean well for Nigeria. It was not his decision alone. There were both local entrenched interests & foreign powers involved.

IBB succumbed to foreign powers because he has huge sums of money kept abroad. That was his weak point.

Abiola was too vocal about slave reparation fund. He was also too strong-willed. That didn't sit well with the West.

Sadly IBB has been too "maradonic" to just come clean and apologise. He's still spinning the story. Pathetic.

fuckingAyaya:
return our Yam.but who killed dele Giwa?

Baba

Very useless man .there was no rational explanation in his action .

May Almighty God, ruing those of u that ruing this country & your unborn children.

IBB =DANGOTE root evil backing =nigeria problem

if Goodluck Jonathan wasn't elected, you would have said a Southern Christian too....come wake up from your slumber

IBB's actions during his time in power, collapsed Nigeria in all aspect. All institutions in this country collapsed and it's been difficult to resurrect them.
The least he can do now is to apologise for June 12 annulment, rather than explain the unexplainable. Abiola won, IBB denied him his mandate.
Nigeria's problems started in IBB's time in office, he should just keep quiet and stay in Minna, while his off-springs enjoy the wealth he amassed. They brought in Abacha who was a Dictator
