The SNF noted that Babangida’s “iniquities are well preserved” and the former Head of State should not think Nigerians have a short memory.
A socio-political group, Southern Nigeria Frontier, has asked former Head of State, Gen Ibrahim Babangida to apologise to Nigerians over the annulment of the June 12, 193 presidential elections rather than trying to distort history. The southern group stated these in a release signed by its spokesman, Olufemi Lawson, and obtained by SaharaReporters on Friday.
Earlier today, Babangida during an interview with AriseTV had claimed that he annulled the 1993 election in order to avert a coup and to prevent violence in the country – an election which was won by renowned philanthropist and politician, Chief MKO Abiola.
