Babangida who spoke with The Interview magazine in the December 2015 edition as published by The Cable, said the problem with Jonathan was that he was inexperienced rather than incompetent as some Nigerians alleged.
The retired general, who described Jonathan as a very pleasant person, said he meant well for Nigeria.
When the former military president was asked about his view that Jonathan is a good person but was “incompetent,” he said: “If you use inexperience, I will buy that.”
The elder statesman declined to comment on whom he actually voted for between Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari, who was declared the winer of the presidential poll. The relationship between Babangida and Buhari was not so great as it was Babangida who overthrew Buhari’s government in 1985 in a bloodless coup.
When Babangida was asked if he played a double game by showing support for both Jonathan and Buhari during their visits to him, he explained that he was “intelligent enough” to know that he had “only one vote.”
He spoke further with the magazine on a wide range of issues, especially the failed military coup of 1990 at Dodan Barracks, which was the seat of power then, and how he was saved by his late wife, Maryam. Babangida denied being saved by his then chief of army staff, the late Gen Sani Abacha, and on reports that he hid in a bunker to elude the coup plotters, he said: “They obviously didn’t have a lot of experience.”
“It was during the fasting period. We were still in Dodan Barracks then. My wife got up from sleep and said she had noticed very unusual movement of troops from one end to the other. So she woke me up and said I should look through the window. I found troops moving from one end to the other.
“The next thing I heard was shooting going on. We tried to put a small party together. It was about 1.30am. Then the guards, the bodyguards said let’s check out of this place. I was a bit stubborn. I told them I was not leaving. It didn’t occur to me that we had a bunker at Dodan Barracks. We had, but it didn’t occur to me to use it. And so, they came. I said the only thing I would concede to, I would evacuate my family. My wife had her last born, who was just a few months old, with her. So they evacuated them to a safe house. It was the house of one of the officers working with me

All these men never wan rest ?

He was a clown who should have been pegged at the local government level of politics.


"Vote for PDP because it is an Ijaw party"

- Goodluck Jonathan

The no1 source of nigeria problem still talking. Orkar I wish your couop has succeded. You were a real HERO. This useless fool formed the PDP, forced obj on the party , lost control of the party to Gej. Used his friend tom ikimi to form apc ,hijkackd the apc, used amaechi as a face to fight Gej and wrestled power from the centre. Ibb knows if he reads this that am saying the truth. Look IBB nigerians are no longer fools this is not novemeber 1986, we are wiser now.

Babangida

Inexperience is understatement.

YOURS has experience , yet you PLUNGED Nigeria into economic anarchy,that GEJ and others are trying to revive.

The collapse of the NIGERIAN NATION will always be traced back to you, IBB.

U remain an EBOLA in our hearts.

Do you need a source to confirm that Jonathan is inexperienced?

hahaha,help me ask...

inexperienced in d context used by Ibb is not derogatory on Gej but rather figurative. We all accept dia was some degree of inexperience but he was never incompetent nor clueless. Being Nigeria president in a democratic setting is not same like when d inexperienced Ibb and co ruled under military wia dia actions were not querried. Gej realised much later into his regimes dat so many of his cronies were actually saboteurs, an experience he never really knew was of that proportion. His inexperience also assisted him to make d now famous phone call to Buhari which d experienced former leaders can never imagine was possible. Even Ibb never castigated Jonathan as per se but truth is dat both his friends and fiends know dat Gej is a great democrat, peace loving and never power drunk. Only days will put him in d proper perspective of history.
