TRIBUNE

Former military president, General Ibrahim Babangida (IBB) has said history will judge him as leader of the country for eight years.

In an interview he granted the Federal University of Technology (FUT) Minna Search FM Radio, he advised younger Nigerians aspiring to lead the country to seek to know the people and understand the country better.

His regime annulled the June 12, 1993 presidential election won by the late politician, Chief MKO Abiola, and adjudged the freest in the annals of the country, resulting into a prolonged political crisis in the country.

Babangida said his greatest achievements as Nigeria’s leader was to know more about the country and make friends across board, while adopting coercion and pleading as leadership styles.

Asked to speak on his achievements throughout his career, he said: “Number one is that I served the country the best I could, it may not be to your satisfaction but to the best that I could; I leave that to history to judge.
