A human rights activist and President of the Centre for Change, Joe Odumakin, has strongly criticized former Head of State, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB), over what she called a “hatchet job” to “mislead the present generation of Nigerians.”
Papers News reports that Odumakin, in a statement on Friday, particularly objected to Babangida’s “Maradona-style double-speak,” noting that in “one breath, he took responsibility for annulling June 12” while also shifting blame to the late General Sani Abacha, who served as his Chief of Army Staff.
She said, “It is indeed ridiculous that Babangida would stoop to accusing a dead man of such a heinous crime, knowing full well that the accused can never defend himself.
