A former military dictator, Ibrahim Babangida, says Nigerians no longer take him seriously because he annulled the June 12,1993 Presidential election adjudgedas the most credible election in the history of Nigeria. Babangida said this during a programme on Channels Television titled, ‘Roadmap 2019’ on Monday. When asked if he would publish his biography soon to tell his story, Babangida said nobody would read it because of his past.

When asked to explain further if it was true that people dismissed his words because of the annulment of June 12 election, he said, “That is right. They say, ‘he cancelled the freest election in the history but he annulled it’ but nobody gives me credit for conducting the freest election in the country.” The former maximum ruler said he was hopeful that the younger generation would understand why he annulled the election.

He added, “We try to rationalise why we did what we did but nobody is prepared to listen to us. So, it is a matter of time. One day, the younger generation will say they have heard one side and want to hear the other side of the story. “Maybe by then we will have a better society that is prepared; that is well-informed of what happened within a period of their existence. They will then be able to say this is the true story.”

Of course, people will read his biography. If not for amusement, they will certainly read it for his spin on the illogical events that took place, while he was in power. IBB had a unique chance to write his name in gold, in the portals of history. But he squandered it carelessly, by making the worst decision of his entire life. Till today, IBB and his cohorts have never said the whole truth about that annulment, neither have they given us the honest reasons, for the grand deception they foisted on Nigerians, by annulling that 1993 election. Nigerian citizens have been fed a lot of lies, half-truth, propaganda, slogans etc in a bid to cover up the real issue.

If IBB can tell the truth, and nothing but the truth, about that whole unsavoury episode, then he would have done a great service to this country and those who believe in its' people. IBB should not forget - there is nothing that can be hidden forever. If he takes the secret about that election to his grave, posterity would judge him harshly!

The man is getting old so he can not reason well again. Stupid man saying he annulled most peaceful election in Nigeria history to save the country.

Ibb the great maradona ... Godfather of 419

True true, person wey dey fuckup know sey him dey fuckup.

IBB will go down as one of the most biased and selfish leaders Nigeria ever had. He doesnt even need to write any biography of himself. History has it already and the coming generations will read it.

Your pass is a criminal record.

Why should I bother reading your biography?
When there are Nwaamaikpe's comments I will read and be happy.
Election is near and you have resurfaced again.

Bfor nko... DEVIL....
Who wan read wetin Dey ur wicked dirty mind...
U b part of wwtin carry us reach here...
Na dat ur rotten leg go rot u die... Wicked soul

Nigeria is long lost.

Guy, leave us alone na

It was on record that that was the only election in Nigeria where ethnicity and religion was set aside by all eligible Nigerians to vote the leader of their choice. Babangida and Obasanjo are the two leaders I pity most because they could have pened their name in the golden book of history in Nigeria but they fumbled. The respect and recognition Abubakar Abdulsalam is enjoying now is what Babangida should be accorded. Now he says they wouldn't listen to him, why should we..

Like Abiola like IBB. Abiola dine with the hawks and d hawks destroy him.

Who care you slowpoke.

It is even good that he counted his teeth with his tongue!

Oga Who your biography epp?

will you keep kwayet!

this june 12 annulment is really hunting IBB.

Evil genius versus sadist of the present government which one is better,one collects and distributes,the other collects and hoards and doles out among his cronies and relatives?

The regrets of old age.
IBB is just learning that 'people remember most what you did last'.
You had your shot at immortality sir, and squandered it.

Thank God you know.

Is he about to go?

You are damn right

We've read that of OBJ, so who are you...ogbeni bolé jor.
Go write a book and let us learn more.
