“Reflecting on Babangida’s Exit, It’s Clear Something Was Off” – Uzor-Kalu

Nigerians are being urged by Senator Orji Uzor-Kalu to act fairly while evaluating former Military President Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida.
Nigerians should treat IBB fairly, according to Uzor-Kalu, as he came forth on his own initiative and without coercion to disclose the specifics of what happened during his tenure in office.
While discussing Babangida’s recently published 420-page book, A Journey in Service, the legislator made the submission on Monday in an interview with Channels TV.

IBB should write a second book, he said, because there is so much more to say.

The former military leader has finally recognized Chief MKO Abiola as the legitimate victor of the June 12, 1993, Nigerian presidential election, but the senator from Abia North said that military personnel stopped Babangida from giving him the reins.

From Babangida’s perspective, Nigerians are unjust to him because he came out on his own.

In my statement that the story is incomplete, I urged President Babangida to write additional chapters because they are still unfinished. Babangida was instructed by several officers that he could not turn himself in to this man, but there is more to the tale,” Kalu added.

The former governor of Abia State claimed that IBB revealed in his book that the 1966 coup was not an Igbo coup, calling it “a sin” that the Igbo people have harbored for a long time.

Speaking further during the presentation, Orji-Kalu stated that Nigerians should be better informed about the events leading up to the June 1993 election.

Given how he stepped down from office, he said that Babangida himself was in danger at the moment.

There should have been more military personnel present to discuss this. If you simply list one or two names, the book is incomplete, hence there should be a second section.

“They ought to go all out and be honest with the people of Nigeria.” Given that Babangida was under danger during those times, I believe she ought to write a second book. You will realize something was amiss if you recall how he stepped down from office,” the legislator argued.
