IBB Disowns Endorsement Of Buhari

General Ibrahim Babangida has refuted a press statement purportedly from him endorsing President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term.

A statement issued from the Media Office of the former military president described the press statement as a piece of fake news concocted to mislead the public.

The statement read thus:

“This is to notify the general public that the statement purportedly credited to former Military President, to the effect of supporting the candidature of President Buhari till 2023 is completely false.

“This is another FAKE NEWS in its  entirety. General Babangida is an elder statesman who understands the essence of good governance. He’s presently out of the country and has not mandated anyone to speak on his behalf with respect to the 2019 elections.

“He spoke elaborately with Radio Germany on the need for peaceful elections but did not at any time endorsed President Buhari for the 2019 elections. The public is hereby invited to discountenance such FAKE NEWS as the figment of the imagination of those who are desperate to mislead the public.

“It is interesting to note that while government on the one hand would stop at nothing to demonise IBB, cultivating his support for re-election will amount to sheer contradiction.”
