Former military president, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (rtd), is reportedly seriously ill, a source close to his hilltop mansion in Minna, the Niger State capital, informed THISDAY yesterday.

According to the source, the former military president has been ill for a while, resulting in his inability to attend most public functions.

THISDAY could not ascertain the real cause of his illness, but the source apart from saying that it was age-related, added that the former military president might be suffering from a relapse of the radiculopathy disease which has troubled the former Nigerian leader since he was head of state.

According to the source, Babangida most times is unable to walk unaided without a walking stick or the assistance of his security personnel.

The illness of the former military president became public last week when he attended the valedictory dinner for the former Niger State Chief Judge, Justice Fati Lami Abubakar and was aided out of the venue before the end of the event.

It was said that Babangida now travels to Abuja frequently where he receives medical attention and has cut down on receiving visitors at his home.

The source also said he has emaciated a lot and also looks pale.

Babangida was Nigeria’s military president for eight years, but was forced to stepped down after he annulled the 1992 presidential election believed to have been won by the late Chief MKO Abiola.

my bible says
''love your enemies"
even if this man has directly offended you... which I know it's not true
nevertheless he has lived his life to the fullest
it's not ethical to hate or wish him bad as he doesnt even know you...
except your religion supports eye for an eye

With all the money in his accounts home and abroad, illness is tormenting him,what a lesson.My advice for him is to apologize and ask for forgiveness from Almighty God,because one way or the others he contributed to Nigeria problems.

He is the 'genesis' of our problems -- he is an evil, vile soul.

P.S. If you are too young to understand, pick up a book and read about our history, or go online search about this self acclaimed 'evil-genius'.

a man of PEACE get well soon sire

ajebuter:


Man of peace?

Sorry to ask.. but where were you in 1993 when we queued to massively elect MKO?

You should see how this 'man of peace' scuttled people's mandate single-handedly and imprisoned the winner of the freest and fairest election in Nigeria..

Man of peace IBB isn't....
