[size=13pt]Media Pitched Me Against Obj –ibb[/size]

Former Military president General  Ibrahim Babangida is singing a different tune on his recent stand-off with former President  Olusegun Obasanjo. He blamed  the press for pitching the two of them against each other.

Babangida, in firing the first salvo  against Obasanjo, had dismissed as a  waste, the $16 billion earmarked for power projects between 1999 and 2007 by  the administration  of Obasanjo.

Obasanjo  immediately replied and called Babangida a fool while Babangida in a counter reaction described Obasanjo as a bigger fool.

The verbal war took   place last month during Babangida’s 70th birthday.

The stand-off incensed many Nigerians who called them names.

However, Babangida on Wednesday night  said what the press reported was not “what l meant”.

“That was not what l meant.  This (report) has made me to lose some of my friends. No thanks to you journalists”, he said after paying a Sallah visit, in the company of another Military Head of  State General  Abdulasalmi Abubakar to Acting Governor Ahmed Musa Ibeto of Niger  State in Minna.

He said Obasanjo was his boss and remained so even now.

He said the press  and not politicians, is overheating the polity,

Contributing to the interview, Abubakar advised the media to be mindful of their stories, urging them to avoid reports that can overheat the  polity. But when told that  politicians should be blamed for overheating  the polity, Babangida interjected, and said: “No, no you (journalists) are the ones overheating the polity; even recently you (Journalists) overheated me.”

Babangida said the way the press handled the stand-off was unimaginative and wasteful.

On his alleged plan  to remarry, Babangida said: “At 70, you are talking of wedding bells? Forget it”.

The former military leader told their host that their visit was in accordance with tradition as he and Abdulsalami always pay homage to the  governor during  Sallah celebration to wish him well and to offer advice to the government.

He said: “We are here to pay homage to the governor, as a tradition we have adopted and we hope to continue to do it as long as Allah spares our lives we will continue to come, to nudge and to encourage you to continue the good work you have been doing for the state.”

Responding the acting governor appreciated the two leaders for their visit and promised that the government will continue to rely on the wealth of experience of these leaders, saying, “ we are proud to have the two of you in this state and we will continue to depend on your goodwill and experience.”

Is he a baby that the media can toss around on his 70th birthday? IBB just keeps coming out with stuff that is record breaking in its ridiculous content.

Mr Babangida is always entangling himself with his counter-claims, rebuttals, and double-speak. It's obvious that his old habit of saying something and meaning another thing will follow him to the grave.

He's afraid of Baba Iyabo

"The devil made me do it"

lol maybe both of them should signup on twitter and twitt diss eachother lol

What do u expect from a Northern fool,they always think,talk and behave like Cows>>>

The man is fund of taking off when the heat is on. He never expected Baba Iyabo's reaction. Remember how he stepped aside for Shonekan, dropped his ambition for Yar Adua, chickened out for Atiku. Long and short of it, IBB is just a coward. I wonder why Jonathan is not probing him for the $12Bn gulf wind fall.

that is a good way to get out of the fury of baba iyabo, afterall, they say' fight wen pass your power turn am to play-play',
IBB ,nawa for u o,
u b true maradona
I hope babaiyabo go 4give u o

How gan GEJ do that? Dont they know that these people put him there?

IBB God will surely Judge you,

Why do you think that they call him (Babaginda) Maradona?

Hate him if it makes you sleep better, but IBB still remains the only entity that is indirectly carrying this country at this extremely difficult period. Jonathan will confirm this fact.

Babangida is no genius or maradona, he's simply an Evil coward.

As usual the Coward shifts the blame. . .

Everyone whoever insulted OBJ is now asking for forgiveness


Jass or respect?


Something isnt right here.
