Nigeria’s former military dictator, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, IBB, has denied having anything to do with the bomb blasts in Abuja and Jos.
Reacting to allegations by the Federal Government that the bombings were masterminded by some disgruntled politicians, Babangida said it amounted to “sheer blackmail” to link him with the bombings.
Kassim Afegbua, IBB’s spokesman, made the retired general’s view known in a statement.
According to him,no sane Nigerian is at peace with what is presently going on in the country.
The loss of innocent souls and helpless citizens of this great country should worry all of us.
“Those who are trying to blackmail former president General Babangida would not have had a country called Nigeria today if he had not fought along with other patriots to sustain our nationality.”
He added that there is failure in governance, rather than passing the buck or finding flimsy reasons to label some people as being responsible for such failures.
