Spokesman of former military President Ibrahim Babaginda said the statement he issued earlier on Sunday was endorsed by Babangida.

Kassim Afegbua said this when he appeared as a guest on Channels Television Programme Sunday Politics.

“I have been doing this job for 13 years now. I have never issued a statement on behalf of General Babangida and it gets a rebuttal.

“I extracted a commitment from him (Babangida) before I issued that statement. The former military president authorised the statement I issued. I didn’t just put out the statement on my own.”

The Former Military President on Sunday, January 4 distanced himself from the statement credited to him and signed by his media aide, Mr Kassim Afegbua.

Babaginda in his rebuttal said the views expressed in the statement are not his views but that of the writer.

Afegbua in the interview on Politics Today, however, said that the former President’s ‘friends’ and ‘supporters’ who loved him more than he loves himself felt the first statement pitched the former President against the President Muhammadu Buhari.

“You know, IBB is for everyone, so people want to love him more than he loves himself, people want to appreciate him more than he appreciates himself, people want to play the role of IBB.

“So, when the statement came on board, and when some of his friends saw the twist and how the social media sensationalise it, they felt we were trying to put the former president on a collision course with the President. So, to that extent, they went and did a statement to deny that.”

“But I have since spoken to him; he called me and said, that statement stands. The kernel of that statement should inform public discourse and not necessarily people personalising it as if it were to be against the sitting president.

“So, the statement stands and I have since communicated to all the media houses that they should respect that statement as coming from IBB. It did not emanate from my head. We sat down, we discussed and articulated them.

“General Babangida wants a new side of leadership, from the younger generation of Nigerians who in his own views have the resourcefulness, the energy and capacity to manage governmental affairs.

“He is not personalizing his statement against the incumbent president. But he is saying, as a stakeholder and a concerned Nigerian, that he shares in the aspirations of the people

A man whose farm was destroyed by Fulani herdsmen just shared his sad experience on facebook how they burnt his farm because they were warned to stop coming there.

There must be something about Buhari that the power brokers are afraid of. They don't even want to wait for the electorate to make their choice. I can imagine what would have happened if Obasanjo or Abdulsalami had got a group together with the sole aim of stopping Jonathan from going for a second term in office

OBJ has been working underground long before now.... That man doesn't just talk. Now we can see everything being uncovered... Less than a week into February.

NgeneUkwenu, you will be shredded to pieces as you work 10 times more to battle the entire country..against ur paymaster . The same social media used against GEJ is gradually being used to destroy buhari

Hofbrauhaus:

IBB denys saying Buhari is a compound failure....ok. But has Nigerians denyed it? Has the masses denyed it? Lol..

Your oga is a compund failure....

Leave them make dem continue to deceive themselves. Even Guardian now has the same news as vanguard. They have paid those blogs and Sahara reporters to publish their own version.

IBB DEBUNKS STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT BUHARI

My attention has been drawn to a report making rounds especially online in which I was quoted as advising Nigerians not to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari in the coming 2019 election.

Not only is the said statement untrue, it is in its entirety, an inaccurate representation of my view of the state of our dear Nation.

As a former President and an elder statesman, I have existing communication channels through which I reach out to President Muhammadu Buhari on topical issues of national importance, should there be the need so to do.

The media, both online or mainstream and indeed the unsuspecting public are advised to disregard such false reports.

Thank you and God Bless you all.

Haggui:
Fake news, I have gone through all the major news sites and non of them has this news moreover, the original statement was issued directly by Kaseem Afegbua who is Buhari's official spokesman. What is the source of this new statement ?

leave them to continue deceiving themselves. Mynd44 and lalasticlala please do not push this to front page. It is fake news. The former report still stand o. Don't prompt false news is one of the rules on nairaland.. In fact have it deleted.

Kill yourself.

Lol
.. APC and una lies... Continue ooo. The movement he began. IBB has made it clear. U can continue to make it lies up

omonnakoda:
Your source?



Sunday Telegraph have gathered. .....


Sunday Telegraph ko Monday Email ni

if I drag this thing too much, you will be the one to run. I am not your usual nairalander. Don't start what u can't finish. Maintain your lane.

omonnakoda:
First of it remains a rumour.
Your source said 25
You doubled it to 50 now you say you made a mistake.


It is a rumour, hearsay, unverified ,demsay etc. Call it what you like


It is a rumour and you are a rumour monger

Go and sleep

omonnakoda:
Stop spreading rumours. Enough said.

Is what is that? Attached there? I made a mistake to have quoted 50 generals but I told u to check the article but u still insists that it is rumour. Can u see 25 generals are backing him now? Where does IBB fall into going by the content of what is attached here? Rubbish

APC can dig up anything they like to get at OBJ... We don't care. Buhari is leaving that seat.

omonnakoda:
50 generals?

Why are you spreading rumours?

check the thread bros... I may have missed the number but quite a good number of generals were said to be backing obj. So check it out and come and tell us the correct number.

LaudateII:
Hehehe....writing is just my hobby. I do it to unwind. I have written specialised articles in the past for trade journals, but that was just on a one-off basis. I am too busy to make it a full-time thing.

you can freelance and get paid well for it

omonnakoda:
Where did you read this ?
Can you share with us?

check the thread about obj taking the CN move to South Africa..

dadebayo1:
The moment i read Obasanjo's epistle i knew the powers that be have turned their back against PMB... Everyone including the Buharist know electing pmb back in 2019 will be a great mistake.. Truth is it is better for pmb to save the country from total collapse by refusing to run in 2019... But if he decides to still run i am sure they will serve him the GEJ 2015 menu...

that is right. Serve him the menu hot with cold beer

seunmsg:
I welcome IBB's sincere intervention but it is not enough. Advising Buhari not to contest in 2019 will get us to no where. Who is the alternative candidate that can provide digital leadership among the clowns in PDP that are warming up to replace Buhari? PDP is not an option for so many reasonable Nigerians. So, what is the way forward?

calm down... They will unveil the candidates soon. I am sure they know whom the people will be. Let them first put bubu where he belongs

olril17:
don't mind the idiots here who are already saying sw is a lockdown for the goat.....who Osinbajo and tinubu epp?
they think we Yorubas are like abokis wey no get brain,zombies who have been programmed never to think for themselves

my brother dem think say South Na North

asha9:
Your submissions are always unbiased not minding that your region produced the VP.

the VP is good man that means we'll for the country. The little window he was given to proof his worth, he didn't fail.

There was peace and tension were reduce when he was first handed over to until Buhari's men clipped his wings.

GavelSlam:
Babangida is a PDP invalid cripple whose opinion does not matter.

you maggots are the downfall of these men. This was same thing they did to GEJ, urging him to ignore the warning and contest until he lost the election and was disgraced.

.. Anyway, continue.... But note this, the voice of the people is the voice of God. The people don't want Buhari anymore and God will step in as he has started.

All churches in Nigeria will make sure their members do not vote for Buhari as they have started giving off alarms... OBJ has started a move, IBB has thrown his weight behind OBJ, Abdul Salami will do his in coming days. Exactly same game play that took place in 2015 against GEJ is playing a repeat/remix of that game. The king makers have spoken.


Middle belt is lost already.... Niger state which is IBB will not give Buhari shiiit, South South and South East will not disappoint. South West will do same...

michoim:
Babaginda is PDP. Had never voted for Buhari before. The forces (OBJ, Babaginda etc)that never wanted Buhari to be president are at it again. But they will be dumdfounded come 2019.

just watch what will happen. Buhari is a nobody where IBB and his gang is... Don't fork with those men.

BakireBulmaker:
Okay
I knew Obasanjo wasn't alone...

of course ooo Kikikikikikikikiki

I was reading yesterday that 50 past generals were backing OBJ's move! iBB is from Niger state and trust men Buhari has lost one of the core Northern state if IBB can take such stance now... Middle belt is lost already, Yola is gone.

South South and South East is not in doubt. Tinubu can keep deceiving himself. South West is too educated to be led into hell fire.

lalasticlala, Mynd44, dominique please this deserves front page oo.
