The after-effects of his German radiculopathy treatment of a few decades ago surely.

- Confined to Minna Hilltop Residence
- Sambo pays him solidarity visit
- Returns to Germany in the new year

FORMER Military President Ibrahim Babangida's recent medical trip overseas is causing serious concern to his friends and associates, especially those from the Northern part of the country. IBB as he is popularly called was seriously ill recently and had to be rushed to Germany for treatment. Their concern was heightened by the information that the former president may have been advised by doctors to restrict his presence at public functions and to quit political activities.

However, contrary to the impression being giving that he went on his yearly medical examination overseas, National Daily competent sources said that the former military ruler's health may have taken a turn for the worst as he was not really himself at the time of departure until few days after intensive medical care by a team of doctors at the hospital. “It is true that Babangida suffered from radiculopathy, an ailment associated with disease of the bone which was said to have been aggravated by a gunshot wound during the civil war, but along the line he became stricken by yet another ailment which has allegedly slowed him down so much, an inside source said, adding that “Babangida was not able to walk by himself; he was carried by his aides into the chartered airplane that flew him to Germany for urgent medical treatment.

Cause for concern

During his eight year tenure, Babangida visited France and Germany several times to receive treatment over his worrisome disease of radiculopathy and returned seemingly hale and healthy.

“But that is not exactly the true situation, throughout his time in office he constantly complained of his leg problem. He suffered excruciating pain in the leg which made him sometime not to stay too long in office during official duty hours. Sometimes, he needed a more quiet time to himself so that the pain will abate.”

National Daily learnt that before his latest trip overseas, Babangida was feeling dizzy and wobble when he walks. The situation got to appoint that he collapsed one day when he was in the midst of his associates in his Hilltop mansion, Minna.

“Let me tell you the truth, IBB has not been feeling well for sometimes, in the past four months he cut down on his public outing and the frequency of his business meeting. The symptoms of his latest ailment started during the jostle for the endorsement of Northern political forum as the single presidential candidate from the North; when we noticed that IBB was slowing down at a speed between his spritely movements.”

Competent sources said Babangida initially consulted with his personal physician who after examining him recommended that he goes oversea for comprehensive medical treatment.

Sources said that Babangida traveled oversea for about a month and according to the advice of his personal doctor demanded that a thorough examination should be carried out on his vital body organs such as kidney, liver and intestine. A team of doctors using the most modern sophisticated medical equipment were said to have cautioned the retired General after the examination to tone down his social, political and business commitments in other to safeguard his health which is not “too sound” anymore.

However, another competent source close to Babangida, re-assured that there is no cause for alarm stressing that Babangida travels oversea regularly for medical treatment. “You know that he suffers a very serious leg injury which is a result of a gunshot during the civil war. He is managing it very well.

Moreover, IBB is no longer a young man. He is 70 years old. So as an old man, he may not escape the degenerative disease of old age. There is no ominous cloud; Baba is just observing house rest after his medical trip overseas.”

Babangida sources said plans to return to Germany early 2012 for continuation of medical treatment as recommended by his foreign doctors.

IBB slows down

However, Mohammed, Aisha and other offspring of the former military ruler are said to be worried about their fathers poor health condition and allegedly advised him to “slow down” and learn to take things “easy”.

“Since his return from Germany, Babangida has not honoured any invitation to a social functions or attend to end of year meeting of his vast businesses rather he has mandated his son, Muhammed to represent his interest. It is true that most of Babangida's businesses are managed by appointed proxies, but before now he personally presided over meetings held in his Hilltop, Minna, residence for thorough briefing on the state of his businesses, but it seems that his son Mohammed is in charge now,” an inside source said.

Notable members of the Arewa Consultative Forum including the president Alhaji Aliko Mohammed and the secretary, Colonel Musa Shehu were said to have visited IBB expressing their joy on his return from medical treatment overseas. Former head of state, General Abdulsalam Abubakar has been sighted several times at the Hilltop mansion. Northern governors, including Alhaji Babangida Aliu of Niger State, Usman Dakingari of Kebbi State were said to have also paid solidarity visit to the aging former president at his Hilltop mansion in Minna. Retired military officers, including former Director of Military Intelligence (DMI) Brigadier-General Halilu Akilu and Business mogul Mike Adenuga were sighted at IBB's residence recently.

Competent sources said that northern leaders are secretly worried about Babangida's poor state of health given his role as the former military president who mostly protected the interest of the North when he was office and one of the northern rulers with enormous contacts across the country and in the international community. They allegedly believe that having a former president like Obasanjo from the South in the ruling People's Democratic Party, it is necessary that the north has another person of stature like Babangida.

“If Babangida curtails his political activities it will not be in the interest of the north. Forget about the fact that he was not selected by NPF, when he aspired for president; he is still revered by the north. Babangida is one of the northern leaders living today that can credibly speak for the north. He has enormous clout and influence across the country even the whole world.”

Presidential ambition

National Daily learned that the activities of the past one year in which IBB forth to become president of Nigeria again, may have adversely affected the retired amour military officer severally. He was also said to be devastated that he failed in his ambition which he deeply desired to correct his past mistakes and restore his legacy in the anal of Nigeria history.

“He gave his presidential aspiration everything he had, His funds, ideals, strategy and contact. Some Nigerians wanted him to return to power but Northern political leaders Forum betrayed him. IBB was blocked by his own Arewa's brothers who rigged the outcome of the selection process between him and Atiku (Abubakar). Naturally, he felt bad, he is a human being.”

Babangida has been under intense pressure from his friends to take another wife after the death of his wife, Maryam. Apart from needing someone to sooth his old age; it is important to have a companion who will act as step another to his children.

However, IBB was said to be humiliating to contract a second marriage again especially in his old age. He allegedly argued that he had a very intimate relationship with his late wife who he said was loyal and obedient to him throughout her life time. So, he would not want to do anything to offend her memory.

“His friends make reference to (Chief Olusegun) Obasanjo who is only separated from his wives but in other to have a companion, picked a new wife recently. They advised IBB to make a choice from some of his female friends who visit him at the hilltop mansion” our source said.

However, it was learnt that IBB's children are not in totally in support of their father taking a second wife. They are afraid that a new woman will cause a decision between them and their father in other to gain his full attention and to take country.

“They want to jealously guide what it theirs. They don't want another woman to come and reap where she did not sow. Another woman to come and reap where she did not sow. Another woman may give birth to her own children who could support their mother in causing skirmishes and demand their own share of Babangida's estate if he is no more”

Sambo visits

Vice President Namadi Sambo last week visited Babangida's Hilltop residence in Minna. Competent sources said that his visit may not be unconnected with the information about the former military ruler's state of health.

“Sambo was sent by President Goodluck Jonathan to pay solidarity visit to IBB. He was concerned when information filtered into ASO Rock that IBB is very ill.

The president appreciates that IBB is an elder states man and former Nigeria's Head of state. He has contributed enormously to the peace, Unity and development of this country. Sambo was said to have conveyed Jonathan's message to IBB during his visit. It is also important to note that Sambo also visited in his capacity as a northern leader. It is his responsibility to pray for the soonest recovery of a fellow leader of the north who is sick.”

Sources said that on arrival on IBB's residence, a feeble and the vice president who remained with him for about an hour.

The vice president before leaving for Abuja also conferred with the emir of Minna Alhaji Umar Farouk Bahago on issues suspected to brother on Boko Haram and IBB's poor health.

Babangida was rushed overseas in November for an urgent medical treatment in a German Hospital sources said that Doctors recommended that Babangida gets admitted for a long time to enable a team of doctors monitor his recent ailment and thoroughly give him medical treatment.

However, after the initial treatment it was agreed that Babangida will return to German early in the New Year to continue treatment.
